Yamah build and tune engines for a number of car manufacturers. Infact they build the V8 found in the Volvo XC90 based on Volvo specifications. Hence they build Toyota engines based on Toyota’s specifications.

Yamaha is mainly responsible for the tuning of Toyota’s higher performing engines.The 1.8L was tuned by Yamaha and the up coming Lexsus V10 has had substantial work on the head etc also done by Yamaha.
Again,other companies do the work and toyota gets the credit.

And Toyota sources its motors from Yamaha anyway…

I agree and would be very surprised if the engine didn’t last the race distance.

Toyota has some of the best engine technology in the world. Why wouldn’t they use it. The Elise has a Toyota 1.8l in it too.

It’s a shame that such an iconic car company has to be associated with a toyota engine.It really cheapens the brand and IMO makes it less desirable as a sports car.

0-100 in under 5 seconds ( claimed) though is pretty Impressive for a standard 3.5 V6, can’t wait to see how this racer perfoms.
