The Tokyo Auto Salon is the perfect place for Japanese car companies and various other Japanese automotive companies to show off new cars, new products, and outlandish builds. This car very much falls into the final category. Sphere Light is a Japanese company that creates aftermarket headlight builds. And what they are showcasing at the show is this insane Mitsuoka Orochi that will be in a full Liberty Walk widebody kit to create a truly epic and unusual custom JDM build.
A Highly Unusual Looking Supercar
The Orochi is a build from Mitsuoka in the early 2000s, and it is still one of the weirdest looking supercars ever made. Its concept was originally based on the Honda NSX, and powering it was an underwhelming 3.3-liter V6 engine that made just 230 hp. Its 0-60 time was a very dull 6.7 seconds. This kit, though, certainly is not dull, and just adds more weirdness to the already odd car. A front splitter is an obvious change from the standard Orochi, and it is just underneath the bumper's inlet. This means the supercar now sits much lower to the ground.
A Raft Of Changes Throughout The Car
There are plenty more changes across the car too. We can spot the side sills running across the bottom of the Orochi, and of course the rather wild fender flares that provide extra width to craft a racing car like stance for the supercar. In fact, this whole kit adds a racing like vibe to the quirky supercar, making it feel like something that belongs in Japan’s Super GT series. The rear of the car is perhaps where the most eye-catching changes lie.
Giant Rear Wing For Extra Downforce
At the rear of the Orochi is a huge rear wing, very much in-keeping with the Liberty Walk philosophy. The wing is actually attached to the rear bumper, and the rear also sees a new, dual-exhaust setup on both sides. This is different to the original, which just had a single pipe on each side of the car. The paint scheme itself is quite eye-catching, clearly being racing inspired with a mostly white body with yellow, lightning-bolt shaped stripes across the side and the back of the supercar. Out of everything that will be on show at the Tokyo Auto Salon, this car is surely to grab a lot of attention.
