yamaha to start building cars?!?

Post by Ruffian »

Saw this and though would share

yamaha city car concept

If they can build it with a decent engine could make an interesting hot hatch!
(R1 engined would be a giggle!!)

Yamaha already have a history with cars, I think some of the Toyota Supra engines are Yamaha developed as well as the 1242cc Fiesta/Ka engine - both motors being very good units. :8o)):

Yea they built the zetec s units (1.7 ford racing puma engine also)
But that was on a ford derived engine and car,
Now its sposed to be majority yamaha,

If they put it together well should be a decent car,
But the cost of building could be quite high as doing fulk electric also,

Time will tell I guess

That looks SHIT! Another shunted up the arse and front 'SMART' car, [Censored] horrible little things, usually driven by snotty nosed 'look at me, arn't I great for the environment' smarmy pregnant goldfishies, that look on those who ride bikes as being the sole persons responsible for the earths decline on their petrol drinking smoke issueing motorbikes, while CLEARLY jealous, because they REEEALLY wish they were as cool as we are!............








...............Oh and Yamaha do a fairly decent mid price guitar too, just to balance out the rant ;) ;;) ;;) ;;) ..
