Orochi (osemglava kača iz japonske folklore - zato tudi Kabuki na predstavitvi!) je sedaj dokončan in predstavljen v produkcijski verziji. Koncept je bil zunaj že davnega 2001, avto je sicer ekskluziven (v naslednjih 4 letih jih bodo naredili 400) in eksotičen po dizajnu, ni pa superšportnik, kar je sicer sedaj že kar navada.
Carview je napisal/-a:The 3.3L V6 mounted aft of the passenger compartment is Toyota's well-known 3MZ-FE, which sees duty in the Camry, Solara, Sienna, Highlander, and Lexus RX (hybrid and standard versions). It makes around 230 horsepower and is connected to a Toyota 5-speed automatic. The decision was made to place efficiency and ease of use ahead of high performance.
Speaking of performance, no numbers were released along with the technical specifications, but don't expect anything earth-shattering. The car's average power, combined with a weight of approximately 3,400 pounds (around 100 less than a Solara), is not a recipe for big-time track numbers. In Japan, though, exclusivity seems to trump all, and that's a commodity the Orichi has in abundance. So what if it has just 230 horsepower? In Japan, arriving anywhere in one of these will bestow instant superstar status upon the driver.
400 Orochis will be built over the next four years, each costing ¥10,500,000 (around $89,000 USD). Orders can be placed beginning today with the first deliveries taking place in January 2007.
