The last super car 'Monster Snake' were successfully sold out
There are a lot of globally famous auto makers in Japan, such as Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki,Isuzu etc.
Those companies are very big and established a great presence in the auto maker industry world wide.
All of them produce millions of automobiles every year.
But there is one small Japanese auto maker, which is known among the car lovers only, which is Mitsuoka Auto Mobiles.
Despite the facts that all those mega automobile makers' headquaters are located in large city such as Tokyo, Nagoya or Hiroshima, Mitsuoka Automobile's headquater locates in Toyama Pref, which is, sorry to say, not famous for the manufacturing industries, but famous for fishery and farming industry, away from the noisy city circumstances.
But Mituoka automobile is famous for not pursuing the number of the cars being sold, but try to survive in the very competitive auto markets by producing very unique cars.
Among their original line-ups of their products, Orochi, which means 'Monster Snake', is a flagship model of the company.
The final production has sold out this April, and Mitsuoka stop its production of Orochi series.
Mr. Takanori Aoki, the desginer of the Orochi says that 'When I designed this model, I was told by Mr. Mitsuoka, the owner of the company, that we should not follow the design of the Ferrari. For me, Ferrari is the super hero. It is like a A-Student in high school. Meanwhile, when I looked back my high school days, I was not a A-Student at all. I even didn't have a girl friend. So, I descided to design tha car which looks super-well, way outstands from A-graded guys."
Orochi was a huge success for Mitsuoka Automobile. Orochi helped the company to establish its steadfast reputation in the market.
