Speaking of Mitsuoka Motor Co., may have heard of people internally are not many. But this is not a new thing, because even the Japanese are also a lot of people do not know the local automobile factory. Early, Mitsuoka or modification of Japan's most successful depot to Caterham in 1994 with a
Seven modeled on the Zero-1 sports car in one fell swoop laid the position in the industry, followed by Nissan's been modified in many models. After the success of the conversion, Mitsuoka officially applied for automobile license, has also become the last car manufacturer in Japan.
Mitsuoka car company do do a very characteristic: not public vehicle, contour design is not as mainstream. Sales of small, but has been done in a very serious car.
The Beijing auto show, Mitsuoka first came to China, we are taken before the show opened to Mitsuoka's this is the best mainstream car models-Orochi (serpent) super sports car. Let us also the first time to understand a strange "new friends."
Orochi model description:
"Snake" the name is from Japanese fairy tale come: eight differences serpent. The entire vehicle design is a "snake" for the soul. The car reportedly had to wish for the success of the ceremony was also held into the spirit, is hoping to "soul" pass into the body.
Mitsuoka serpent's body is very low, very avant-garde style hyperbole, if you look in the car to see, you will feel as if the car is to the soul.
Unique grille, double headlamps, the appearance of any detail is a hallmark.
Round taillights and the vertical rear window, as if an early Ferrari models. Tail shape as unconventional. And four taillights echo the following four exhaust, are hidden inside is decent power?

R18, after seeing the first four two brake calipers, we no longer hold out any hope of its performance.
Came to the car, perhaps too much by the appearance of bright spots, we immediately lose the sense of excitement, although the number of used car leather material, but the overall feeling is too mediocre.
See this button, I would say not as good as our domestic own brand models.
Dynamic part, Mitsuoka serpent with Toyota 3MZ-FE-type 3.3-liter V6 engine (with the Lexus RX330), driver type with MR (mid engine, rear-wheel drive) layout, 5-speed automatic transmission. 0-400 meters, 15.1 seconds; off to 1 km, 28 seconds. Maximum Power 172kw (233 hp); maximum torque of 328Nm, top speed 240km / h ,0-100km / h acceleration time of 7.2 seconds, the resistance coefficient of 0.32.
While the dynamic performance is not outstanding, but Imagine driving across town when the Orochi, or will cause a lot of pedestrians stopped to watch, can earn enough to keep returning.
Serpent in 2010 is standard pricing 8.78 million yen (640,000 yuan). The price is higher than 09, paragraph 10.92 million yen (about 800 thousand yuan) is slightly lower, mainly due to already sold 4 years, pre-development costs have been recovered, the other is process (manual) more mature, production cost reduction So the new prices are significantly lower.

Mitsuoka scheme is this, next year's Beijing Auto Show, and use it as an opportunity to open dealerships in Beijing; and then under the operating state of good or bad, (if is good) and then shop in Shanghai and Guangzhou.
