Yamaha R-Car Concept

[scorp965]

The concept is called the Yamaha R Car, and according to Roselló, it depicts a "supercar with a superbike soul".

Besides the Lamborghini-esque styling, the R Car was envisioned to have an engine delivering over 900-horses while tipping the scales at less than 1,100kg (2,425 pounds), which of course, means nothing since it's all pure fantasy talk.

Additional photos of the project follow right past the jump.

A cool car! Is the engine made by Toyota? What's the $$$ range?

R1 and a R car would be nice to look in my garage.

Thanks for posting that info! Haven't seen that yet.

rear is spot on, front is too Enzo. Yamaha makes great engines, and has the tech. This however seems like a stretch.

Beautiful car. I wonder why Yamaha sources out Toyota for the engine?

it's an independent designer poking Yamaha with a concept; frankly, an ultra-lightweight, high-revving, minimalist exotic that doesn't resemble an erector set sounds perfect.

Turn-about is fair play...1965 Toyota 2000GT with Yamaha engine

Nailed it.

However, given how most car companies seem to spend very little time making the rear look good (a reason why I love the NSX so much - gorgeous rear end) I'll take what I can get!
