Despite the name, this isn't a bloodthirsty Orc Lord lifted from a Tolkien novel, but instead a design concept by our favourite people over at Dacia. It's called the Oroch, and as you can see, it's a truck.
If you like trucks, this is indeed Good News! This one is said to ‘pack an emotional punch', and was sketched out by the Renault design centre for Latin America.
Dacia wants to gauge public reception on such a vehicle, which features the company's new front ‘brand identity' (read: face), and some styling cues first seen on the D-Cross concept from a couple of years ago.
There is precious little information to run on, other than the fact it sits on a Duster's underpinnings, gets five seats, a high riding stance, 18in wheels, a spacious cabin, and side protective mouldings. Expect it to feature the Duster's 4x4 system and petrol and diesel engines too, if it ever makes production.
There's also a multimedia screen for the interior which displays images from two rear mounted cameras, and seats with an additional layer of foam. Yeah, we know, but we'll find out more soon.
The colours meanwhile, are meant to remind you of water sports; there's a white body, orange detailing and charcoal interior trim, as well as a dash, door inserts and seat panels made from a material ‘which looks like neoprene wetsuits'. If you spend a lot of the time on The Internet and are single, you might enjoy this.
"The show car explores the world of pick-ups, a segment we're absent from at the moment but which totals around 900,000 vehicles sold [in South America] each year," Dacia tells us.
