1997 FERRARI F40 YAMAHA AMI




A chibi Ferrari F40....there's no other way to put it really. There aren't much information about it other than it was based on Daihatsu Mira/Opti & possibly sold exclusively in Japan. Yamaha may have heavy involvement in automotive industry but you'll almost never see Yamaha badge on a car anywhere.



So...what the hell is this thing?

Well...it's a front engined, front wheel drive 1997 Yamaha AMi that comes in Red or Black with 2 choice of 659cc engine either 12-valve 55ps or 6-valve 42ps. Apparently this car had a limited sales to 600 units only.



I don't know Japanese language, but I assumed that the car comes with 3 trims where the top of the line gets a quadpipe exhaust & white wheels as in the brochure while normal gets a single pipe exhaust & normal alloy wheels.



I don't whether it's a homage to Ferrari F40 or they're just being weird. Who knew.
