#8403 Orochi Mitsuoka (Night Purple)
HPI's exclusive limited-edition 1/43 scale die-cast model line-up
now features the extremely rare and exquisitely designed Orochi
Mitsuoka. First released in 2001 at the Tokyo Motor Show, the
production version rolled off the assembly line in 2006. Taking its
name from a mythical 8-headed dragon of ancient Japanese legend,
this one of the most rare and desired exotic cars in the world,
with only about 400 cars made each year. We are proud to present
the Orochi Mitsuoka in a variety of actual production colours.
These models are extremely limited in production numbers because of
the special high-detail resin used for the moulds. Worldwide
quantities will be in the low hundreds. HPI precision die-cast
metal models are 1/43 scale, a convenient size for any desk or
display case. Incredible attention has been paid to make the shape
of cars as true to scale as possible. Fine exterior details like
radiators, disc brakes, brake calipers, mirrors, wings, exhaust,
headlight buckets, mirrors, tow hooks and radio antennae combine to
make the models extremely realistic. Each car has a fully painted
and detailed interior, steering wheel, and dashboard. These models
come mounted to a display platform that includes a clear plastic
protective case and the car can be easily removed from the platform
for individual display. Every Orochi Mitsuoka model is made in a
special resin material that allows our designers
to precisely replicate not just every curve and shape of the
original car, but every opening such as door/bonnet lines and vent
or grille. Compare a resin model with a normal die-cast metal and
you will quickly see the difference! Each model is also sprayed
with the actual production paint used on the real car, to give you
an authentic scale reproduction. Our resin models are extremely
fragile
and the wheels do not rotate, so the model should be kept mounted
on its display stand. Remember: HPI resin die-cast models
are made in extremely limited quantities, once gone they will never
be available again. Collect all of the HPI resin
