But as things stay now, we will still not see a Yamaha car on the road for the future. In particular, this Japanese company has suspended all projects related to the development and production of cars, KosovoPress broadcasts.
This ended the concepts presented by Yamaha in 2013 and 2015 to the public as announcing a possible serial model.
According to Autocar, these projects were abandoned because the Japanese manufacturer could not afford the extremely strong competition of other vehicles in the market.
“Makins are no longer in our long-term plans,” said Yamaha spokesman Natoto Hoire at the Tokyo Car Fair.
We concluded that a small sports machine that was planned could not resist rival competition,” explained Hoire, alluding to the concept of Sport Reed.
As a reminder, when it was launched in 2015, this two - seated sports car had a construction of carbon fibers and a weight under 900 pounds [900 kg]. According to Yamaha's people, the concept developed in only five months, and Strem's production technology, conceived by automobile designer Gordon Marie, was used to create the body.
