LHD Mitsuoka Orochi Headed for Middle East, not U.S.
Arguably Japan’s strangest super car, the Mitsuoka Orochi, seems ready to spread its snake-like weirdness to the wide world. The reported left-hand-drive version of the car is said to be nearing completion, and company officials are short-listing a number of markets to receive the NSX-based car.
Qatar will be one of the first non-Japanese locals to see an Orochi on the roads. It was apparently an auto enthusiast from that country who first approached Mitsuoka about a possible LHD version. Not surprisingly two other wealthy country from the Middle East, The United Arab Emirates and Jordan, are also targets for Orochi sales, as well as Thailand. It seems the U.S. is out of the running for this one, pity.
Inflamed American Orochi enthusiasts are encouraged to sooth their wounds with our Mitsuoka gallery below.

That's good news, it keeps the risk of me gouging out my eyes on the drive to work if I see one and thus putting thousands of people at risk of me slamming into them while screaming "IT WAS SO AWFUL...OH SO AWFUL!!!"

It looks like Admiral Ackbar.

It's beautiful and very original. The performance is very poor for the price tag and the aggressive look.
