Although Mitsuoka Motors did not mention the source of inspiration for the exterior design of the M55 concept car. It should not be difficult for friends who are familiar with American performance cars to figure it out. The front of the M55 concept car is equipped with a slender radiator grille and four round headlights similar to the Dodge Challenger. Rear fastback design with rear windshield louver decoration exudes a Ford Mustang’s classic design.

The roofline and doors remain unchanged, but the longer front and rear overhangs change the Honda Civic’s body proportions. Modifications inside the cabin are limited to retro-style interior trim and Mitsuoka badges, which blend perfectly with the minimalist dashboard of the eleventh-generation Honda Civic.

However, the company’s limited hand-made production capabilities mean that the production version of the M55 may not satisfy everyone who wants to buy the car.
