The Japanese company Mitsuoka started selling the weird looking car Mitsuoka Orochi mid-engined sports for over US$90,000, starting January last year. Can you believe it? Of course it was in limited production (about 400 pieces)

90,000?

5AT 290hp 3.3 v6.... for 90k? and deep sea fish looks...
That could be the biggest rip off of the year.

Can anyone please tell me what car this is?

Looks like a Morganesque body with a vintage Maserati grille, maybe a kit car???

Hi Steve:
Looks like an A6GCS replica/remembrance by Luigi Colani. I didn't find anything, but those fenders look like his phallic designs. I'll look some more.

Looks more like an old Alfa to me... It's gotta be a kit car though.

**fiorano94** · #**108** 08-10-2008, 09:47 PM

It's called a Monza Spyder.

I've seen the car in person, and don't have much more info on it.

**UroTrash** · #**109** 08-10-2008, 09:47 PM

Modern wheels...

It sure is sharing some good company there to be a kit car!

It belongs to a guy called Tim Durham, he owns a great collection of cars.

Those look like PT cruiser rims

Everything is great except those wheels. It's like a really nice suit and then wearing tennis shoes. WTF?

Sorta looks like a k2 Allard but not quite right.

I can pretty much recognize any car on the roads just by glancing at them in my rear view mirror, but today I saw something that completely stumped me.

I was driving down the Embarcadero in San Francisco and saw this dark blue coupe behind me, and I thought it was a Hyundai Tiburon, but the lights were funny. The car passed me in traffic, I tried to see the make and model, but only saw part of the model badge onthe right hand side and it looked like M_______.

The only thing that really stood out about the car was that it had huge air vents behind the front wheels. The lights looked like a Seat car, but I am not seeing anything that resembles what I saw. Anyone have any ideas?

**B R** · #**118** 09-26-2008, 03:47 PM

I'm gonna take a wild guess. Because you were in SF, I'm going with a Qvale Mangusta, they did make them in Santorini Blue.

What do I win

?

WINNAR.

Gold star for you.

Thanks for answering, it was bugging me all afternoon today.

Unlike the fun and games "Guess The Car" threads, this one's for cars that we actually need help identifying. Post as many pics and info as you have available.

To start us off, this photo was found on the Web and was probably taken at Mugello in 2005 (according to the file name, anyway). Wheels appear to be 1960s Alfa. Insignia is some sort of winged horse, winged serpent or dragon but not familiar to me. Can anyone identify this?
