Mitsuoka Orochi

One of the world’s most obscure supercars comes from Japan in the form of the Mitsuoka Orochi, an odd-looking two-seater with Lambo doors and a controversial design. The Mitsuoka company was known for building restomoded cars based on regular models. Still, in 2006, they decided to enter the supercar market with the highly exclusive Orochi. The car was named after a mythical Japanese dragon with eight heads which influenced the design of the car (via Secret Classics).

The Orochi is based on the Honda NSX platform but powered by Toyota’s 3.3-liter V6 engine with 240 hp. That wasn’t a ton of hp but the car is light and nimble so its performance is satisfying, to say the least. The Orochi was never intended to be sold outside of Japan or selected Asian markets, especially not in the USA. First, the car is a right-hand configuration, and second, Mitsuoka is only interested in domestic buyers.
