Mitsuoka: The Eccentric Coachbuilder Mitsuoka Motor is the delightful eccentric of the Japanese car world. Recognized as Japan’s 10th authorized automaker, Mitsuoka specializes in “Fashion Cars.” They take reliable, modern mass-production vehicles (from Toyota, Nissan, or Mazda) and re-body them with hand-crafted fiberglass panels inspired by classic British and American designs. The results are uniquely polarized and beloved. The Mitsuoka Buddy transforms a Toyota RAV4 into a retro American SUV resembling a 1980s Chevy Blazer. The Himiko takes a Mazda Miata and stretches it into a long-nose roadster reminiscent of a Morgan or Jaguar XK120. Perhaps most famous is the Orochi, a supercar described as a “Fashion Super Car,” designed to look like a mythical eight-headed dragon rather than a wind-tunnel experiment. Why Buy a Mitsuoka? Individuality: Guaranteed to turn more heads than a Ferrari for a fraction of the price. Reliability: Beneath the retro skin lies the bulletproof mechanicals of a modern Japanese car. Craftsmanship: Each vehicle is modified by hand by skilled “Takumi” craftsmen in Toyama City. Mitsuoka is for the driver who wants the romance of a vintage classic without the oil leaks and breakdowns. It is automotive cosplay at its finest. Enter Mitsuoka World
