At the 2001 Tokyo motor show, the weird geniuses at Japan's Mitsuoka Motors showed off the radical Orochi concept, based on the Acura (Honda) NSX, appearing to be the result of a botched George Barris experiment involving a late-model Mercedes-Benz SL, a Lamborghini Murci lago and five or more hits of brown acid. This year, the company unveiled a spider version of the Orochi, literally "nude top," in Tokyo this week. We're not sure if it still rides on the underpinnings of the discontinued NSX, but it sure is, er, something.

I want one in black.
That car has more gaping holes than an AVN awards ceremony.
Ooh. That's really, really awful. The lines of the car are just nasty, but those around the intake make my head hurt. The white interior is oh so appropriate.
It looks like a take-home box (one of those star-foam things) where the lid won't close completely...........really, really ugly.
Is it trying to kiss me? Yuck!
Those are "speed holes." Anybody else think they saw this thing on the third season of Speed Racer?
Man, a lot of these coachbuilt jobs are fugly. Coachbuilt cars used to look better than the originals. I think its because these days most cars look pretty good stock, so the only way the coachbuilt guys can differentiate the car from the original is go WAY over the top. I mean just compare this mess to a Bertone styled Ferrari or a Park Ward Rolls.
Remember that "uglier than Aztek" article a few months back? I think this might've won. It's some kind of car version of Frankenstein's monster... that was then put through the blender.
