That's too bad.
Seems like every car engine Yamaha has been involved in is/was a great engine. Would have been cool to see what they can do on their own. |

Why doesn't Toyota have them build all their sports cars? Buy Yamaha and Lotus and dominate the sports car market for a generation. NAH.

I own a Yamaha crossplane 4 motorcycle that would make for a fantastic automotive engine at 2 Liters. It fires at the same intervals as a 90 degree V4. Yet one head, so cost is much less. Sound and feel are incredible.

^^^ Thought the same thing about that engine after hearing R1's with a good exhaust. I think the NVH and power delivery characteristics work against it in a automotive application. Someone should try it in a Miata or classic Mini though...
