It seems like the firm is just following the same pattern of its rival brand, Honda, that started up with motorcycle manufacturing and then turned to car making along with two-wheeler industry.
As part of the project the company is developing a two-seater passenger car designed by a South African expert car designer, Gordon Murray, who has expertise comprised of McLaren F1 road car. He has been spending few years in order to work out such a beauty for Yamaha.
The car will be taken down to roads in two versions - a petrol-powered three-cylinder 1000cc engine based on Murray’s T25 prototype and an electric powertrain based on his T27 prototype. The Murray's prototype features a three-seater car, meanwhile Yamaha's prototype features a two-seater.
The machine is expected to be priced around $16,500.
