The automotive world is abuzz with the upcoming production of a remarkable vehicle that blurs the lines between muscle car aesthetics and everyday practicality.
Meet the Mitsuoka M55, a Honda Civic masquerading as a Dodge Challenger. Unveiled as a concept back in November, this unconventional fusion of styling cues is set to hit the market in 2025.
While the M55 exudes the aggressive stance and visual cues reminiscent of a Dodge Challenger, its powertrain and performance remain firmly rooted in its Honda Civic origins.
Mitsuoka’s meticulous attention to detail transforms the Civic’s appearance with redesigned headlights, taillights, and grille, complemented by retro-themed blue upholstery and the substitution of Honda badges with Mitsuoka insignia.
Despite initial skepticism, Mitsuoka’s announcement of the M55’s transition to production garnered overwhelming interest, with over 1,300 inquiries flooding in.
This surge in demand compelled the company to greenlight production, albeit in limited numbers, due to the handcrafted nature of each vehicle. Pricing details for the production model remain undisclosed, heightening anticipation for enthusiasts eager to acquire this unique blend of style and substance.
