Mitsuoka is a Japanese car company known for creating some of the most unique and quirky vehicles out there. Founded nearly 60 years ago, this company continues to thrive by making cars that often get mixed reactions for their unusual designs. If you enjoy bizarre mashups in car styling, Mitsuoka might just be your cup of tea. One of their most talked-about models is the M55, which is making a comeback due to popular demand.
The original M55, known as the Zero Edition, sold out in just 10 days! In response to this success, Mitsuoka is releasing the 1st Edition of the M55. Unlike the Zero Edition, which only offered one color and trim, the 1st Edition expands options significantly. Customers can now choose from 10 different finishes and three different grades. Buyers will also have the option to select from gasoline or hybrid powertrains, along with either a six-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
What makes the M55 particularly special is its design. It takes inspiration from classic cars, notably the fourth-generation Nissan Skyline (C110). However, people have noticed some similarities to both the Dodge Challenger and Lancia models, though those connections aren’t quite accurate. Regardless of people’s opinions on its looks, the M55 is definitely eye-catching, with distinct design elements like rear louvers that set it apart.
When designing the M55, Mitsuoka had to be careful not to cross any legal lines, especially regarding the car’s grille design. The name “M55” celebrates the company’s 55th anniversary, which took place in 2023. While the Zero Edition was limited to 100 units, the 1st Edition will have a slightly larger production run of 250 cars. Prices for the M55 start at 7,568,000 yen, which is roughly $50,000, and can go as high as 8,427,100 yen, or about $56,000. Those looking to buy can place their orders now, with the cars set for delivery in 2026.
Interestingly, the M55 is built on the Honda Civic hatchback, as Honda no longer produces a Civic Coupe. The car’s unique sloping roofline gives it a distinctive look but also demonstrates the flexible design abilities of Mitsuoka. There is also talk about Mitsuoka wanting to give the returning Honda Prelude an equally unique transformation, so car enthusiasts can look forward to what they come up with next.
