I have herd of such an animal (pun intended by me). Since you are in the automotive industry (and presumably need sizable volumes), you should contact Textron Fastening Systems directly. They are the patent holder to Torx systems.

Performing your same internet search using the more generic "Hexalobular" (favored by Europeans) or "Six lobe" or "6 lobe" (favored in the US) in lieu of "Torx" tradename will substantially increase your number of hits and available sources. (Think searching "refrigerator" vs. searching "Frigidare".) You will wish, of course, to deal with a reputable, quality fastener manufacturer (of which Textron is certainly one, and by all means buy the Frigidare if that's what you really want/need).

Here is a link to all of the metric Torx Plus head standards:

The Torx Plus system gives about 25% stronger drive bits which is great when trying to break loose a rusted brake caliper bolt. When you are using an automatic power driver that extra 25% can give a lot longer time between bit changes (if you ever have to change the drive bits).
I don't think you will find a flange bolt with either drive system on the shelf; that is not a common head style for this type of drive.
