Recently, we learned from officials that Mitsuoka's upcoming new vintage roadster, the Mitsuoka LA1, is scheduled to be officially released on November 26, 2026. The vehicle is also seen as a successor to the Mitsuoka Rock Star. Founded in 1968, Mitsuoka Motor is famous for transforming modern production cars into retro-style models, and has launched models such as Orochi, HIMIKO, and Galue. The Mitsuoka LA1 is a vintage convertible based on the ‌ Mazda MX-5 ‌ that pays tribute to the 1958 Chevrolet Corvette C1 late model, similar to Mitsuoka's Rock Star (replica Corvette C2). ‌ ‌ (Wen/Auto Home Yao Yu).
