Kode89 – A V12, 6-Speed Manual, 8 Units Worldwide: A New Supercar Emerges from Japan

Legendary Japanese designer Ken Okuyama, whose illustrious portfolio includes iconic masterpieces like the Ferrari Enzo, unveiled his firm’s latest flagship model, the Kode89, at Pebble Beach in August 2026.

Mid-mounted at its core sits a naturally aspirated V12, paired with a now exceedingly rare 6-speed manual transmission. Built upon a bespoke aluminum spaceframe wrapped in lightweight carbon fiber, each machine is individually crafted through a synthesis of modern technology and Japanese artistry.

Production is strictly capped at an ultra-exclusive 8 units worldwide.

In a supercar landscape dominated by electrification and digitisation, the Kode89 deliberately prioritizes a V12, manual gearbox, lightweight architecture, and an unfiltered connection to the driver. This is far more than just a new supercar.

It marks the dawn of a new collector’s icon, dispatched from Japan to the world.
