I bet they do...but their success (IMHO) will derive from a younger demo, specifically the JDM/tuner market. This market is still growing, and now in regions across the US that were widely traditional. I’m in my 40’s and living in a small suburb, and have seen Suby’s, Evo’s, RX-7’s being driven by 50 year old men. Sure, these may be outliers, but the tuner culture is widespread. Imagine what Yamaha can do with Toyota’s budget and their brilliance?
The Ford/Yamaha K0A V6 also had a rather unique intake manifold which was rotationally symmetrical and had discrete runners, allowing it to be rotated on top of the engine for ease of integration into either transverse or longitudinal applications. They were really thinking ahead with this one.
All amazing engines. Yamaha just seems to knock it out of the park with everything they do, in any industry they participate in.That SHO v-8 must be the best-sounding 235 hp there's ever been.And the 3S is probably my favorite four-cylinder ever. The similar-on-paper 4U in my FR-S is shameful by comparison! (and I know, it's really a Subaru FA20).
@@matthewkuhl79 Yamaha's unbeatable advantage is in its Yzr-M1 engine, this allows the racer to have full control of his motorbike in corners, but the top speed issue has indeed been a problem for Yamaha since the Yzr-M1 was first developed, hopefully the engineers find a solution
I thought that i was the only one who griped about that. Too, BMW has a sportbike the S1000RR with a 4 cylinder engine. Please tell me they did not copy that from the Japanese.
What we can see here is Yamaha had very close ties with Toyota and Ford. Toyota obviously owns Lexus, and during the time when Volvo had V8s on offer, they were owned by Ford.
Toyota owns Yamaha unfortunately. This kind of crap destroys the car industry, like how GM ruined various brands around the world that they bought out in the past. Now Saab is owned by fcking Geely, a Chinese copycat manufacturer
I've seen two in my lifetime. One on West End Blvd, in New Orleans. The LFA has the most incredible sound I've witnessed in any car. Better than any V12 Ferrari. To see the LFA, in person, to witness an engineering marvel of its class is humbling. I would never own a Lamborghini or Ferrari. An LFA, absolutely! Why? Because it doesn't have absurd maintenance issues or is heavily unreliable. It's engineered to the pinnacle of performance and reliability.
I see way too many people praising this car and saying its reliable, yet i have to see one with more than 25k miles on it, and a genuine car enthusiast who has an idea of cars in general who owns one and isn't a rich spoiled brat
Yamaha make absolutely fantastic motorcycles and the sound of the cross plane four cylinder in the MT10 and R1 has become iconic. The most innovative company of our time.
Its more to it than that. People wouldnt be as comfortable buying a Yamaha car vs a Toyota or Honda. Yamaha knows this and chooses to innovate rather than invent. Yamaha and Toyota are together like RUF and Porsche. One hand washes the other.
This video is fascinating! I knew Yamaha made heads for stuff like the Lotus Elise and whatnot... but I had no clue they made whole engines for many different car makes! Thanks for this, man. You've added a few cars to my list of stuff to own. lol
david me i guess nissan probably see that it cost so much to produce, and expensive to sell to majority market, also the successor of fairlady (S30 Z) is on the way 1969
the thing about the sho's is that they where fast in their years not anymore, you could get outrunned by other modern vehicles, but having one now makes you feel great because not only you own a old school sleeper but it has that special kind of engineering that makes it unique the v8 3.4 sho and sounds amazing
I know at least two other engines that Yamaha has developed or co-developed. One of them is a small, lightweight Sigma engine (Zetec-SE). Ford started with the Ford Fiesta Mk4, which had different capacities, and the strongest suction variant was 1.7, 157 hp and 162 Nm hidden under the bonnet of the Ford Puma. Over the years, Ford fiddled with this engine and eventually created an EcoBoost variant. The strongest version was the 1.6, 205 hp in the Fiesta ST205 MK7. The second engine is 1.8, 192 hp under the hood of the Corolla E12 T-Sport.
VW engines are better, the 4.0L V8 Twin Turbo FSI in the Audi RS7 and the 5.2L FSI V-10 in the Audi R8 are the best production engines currently in my humble opinion. There are more powerful engines but non are so technologically advanced and smooth running as these two.
@@carholic-sz3qv I agree. Many manufacturers of cars would do well to note: They are simply assemblers of components......Not true "manufacturers".

Takafumi Arisawa Well its same engine. I hope we will get some videos on single engines history in greater detail. Thats good idea for new series Visio!
And they were pretty fast. I believe it was the third generation that got the V8. The earlier v6 with a 5 speed were about as fast and a little quicker.
Yamaha is an excellent company that make quality gear regardless of which division. I have had Yamaha bikes,pro audio gear and bass guitars, I still have 10 Yamaha basses in my collection.
@Ben Latour Prince motors was absorbed by Nissan in the 60's and developed their own 2 litre inline 6 cylinder engine named S20 which went in the original Skyline GTR and the Fairlady 432.
Thumbs up from me for Altezza 3S-GE. One point to note though, the 3S-GE rev 1, 2 & 3 found in Celica's & MR2's are no -interference. The BEAMS red top rev 4 in JDM '98/'99 Celica's & BEAMS black top rev 5 in Altezza's are interference engines!
It's nice to see a video that mentions the 3.4 SHO V8 without everyone and their dog crapping on it in the comments. I'm currently doing a resto-mod on a Silver '98 SHO that I pulled out of a field, and the looks that I get from people on the street when they hear the engine makes it more than worth the price. And the whole cam sprocket issue thing, mine has 251,000 km and no engine issues to speak of, and I've never heard of anyone that I know of actually having that problem, so I say it was overblown. The only real issue with the cars is the weak transmission, but I have a spare, so I'm not super worried.
For Double Over Head Camshaft, instead of saying D.O.H.C just say Doc. Your English is getting good, I remember when you first started this channel, I could hardly understand some words you were saying, no problem no though. Another engine is the 1G-GTE from the Toyota Supra, 2,000cc twin turbo, Toyota's RB20.
You missed one of my favorites, the Daihatsu GTti and GTXX CB70, CB80 series 3cyl engines. In the late 1980 these were competing in World Rally Championship events with 299hp from a 993cc, 3cyl engine! Awesome 👍
yamaha engine ( volvo ) is also used in the english noble m600 supercar and yamaha helped out renault with the cylinder head of their f7p engines due to cracks around the spark plug on early prototypes
Those Taurus SHO sedans were literally the star of the "SHO". Get it? Because show and SHO........ I need to shut up. But honestly, I love those Taurus SHO sedans. And even though I hate 6 cylinders (the only 6 bangers I like are two stroke detroits), that Yamaha V6 sounds like awesomeness. But that 3.4 V8 tho......I LOVE THAT 3.4!!!! God!!!! To me that engine is like the Japanese version of the Windsor.......Dafuq did I just say? Again, the Taurus SHO is the bomb!!!! :D Sorry if I sounded stupid. :P
The 3.4 was a modified Ford engine, not a Yamaha engine. Basically a 2.5 Duratec with 2 extra cylinders. The V6 SHO is the real Yamaha deal. Too bad the examples he picked in this video sound terrible. No self-respecting SHO V6 sounds like that.
atheist45 The V8 is as much as a Yamaha engine as the V6- the V6 was designed off the existing Vulcan engine. The V8 was designed off the Duratec- the V8 had an aluminum engine blocks, using the patented Cosworth process, at their Windsor, Ontario plant, considering they even shipped them to Japan for finishing by Yamaha. The finished engines were shipped back to the Taurus plant. They’re definitely Yamaha built- both the V6 and V8 are Yamaha built.
We can learn a thing from this video and it is that Toyota really knows who to talk to in order to produce high end engines. Yamaha is such a great company in all its divisions. They make superb bikes, pianos, drums,guitars... It is really hard to achieve that level in such a wide and different range of products. Of course thanks to VisioRacer for producing informative videos,not like many others youtubers that do 10 minute videos talking shit about their cars and lifes because they don't really have knowledge and they don't want to "waste" their time researching
Toyota/Yamaha co designed engine from the Elise is found in the Celica 190vvti/GTS and Corolla T Sport. Plus there was a limited run of Corolla T Sport with this engine in supercharged form (yes from the factory). I believe there are 250 of that model in the UK. 230bhp. Underrated cars.
johnyfartpants yes it is and you can even go so far that the basics of that engine still live on until today. The 1.6 Ecoboost and its successor, the 1.5 Ecoboost are basically Sigma engines.
There was the 1.25 engine with Yamaha development and the 1.4, 1.6 and 1.7 of the Ford Puma, which were Yamaha engineered, especially the 1.7. The ST170 is Cossie-Developed...
As Chris McGyver correctly states - the 1.25l engine in the european Fiesta (not sure about the US one) was co-developed between Yamaha and Ford, an all aluminium DOHC 16v unit I believe (obviously with steel cylinder liners) plus the variants of 1.4l, 1.6l and 1.7l also used in the Fiesta (but not the 1.7l although you could easily transplant it into a Fiesta if you had the time and expertise) and Puma. A sweet smooth torquey unit that was in 1.25l form in several mk5 Fiestas that I owned over the years. It was that good, it would accelerate on a gradual uphill part of a motorway in 5th at 70mph - something that earlier versions of Fiestas just couldn't do. And it would keep accelerating so long as you mashed your accelerator into the floor! I surprised many a BMW and Mercedes driver by doing that and then flashing them to pull in cos I was going faster than them - then keep the speed above 90mph and they never bothered you, unless it pissed them off that much, in which case they'd blast past me at around 120mph, just to prove a point, but they'd bottle it and slow back down to 80 and I'd catch up with them again and do it all over again! happy days! lol! And the rozzers (cops to non UK residents) never bothered me cos they never thought a bog standard scruffy 1.25l Fiesta Zetec would be capable of such a thing - a real sleeper car for pocket money prices! lol!
I have a stock 2003 JDM Corolla Fielder wagon with the 2ZZ-GE Yamaha motor. 190 hp, 4 speed tiptronic, 180,000kms and going strong. 100mph is a breeze.
hi i am from good old germany and the european ford focus mk1 from 1998-2004 - benzin gasoline engine zetec s engine 1596 and 1398 ccm with 55 KW and 74 KW also from Yamaha engineered good engines
I believe it was the 1.25 and 1.4,not the 1.6. It was a great little unit which loved to rev, but if you let the oil get a little low or skipped oil changes they would suffer quite rapidly,more so than other stuff treated equally as poorly.
If you look at Yamaha dirt bikes they developed nearly every new technology you see in modern bikes such as mono shock rear suspension, liquid cooling, and they produced the first 4 stroke mx bike the yz400f and started the 4 stroke revolution. They may not have been the first to perfect any of this tech but they were always the first to come up with it.
KTM is the best innovator in dirt bikes. Yamaha usually only release high tech on factory team bikes. Years later it's on the normal bikes. KTM had liquid cooling on the entire lineup way before Yamaha. Same with one rear shock and upside down front fork and also liquid cooled 4strokes before Yamaha dirt bikes. Back in the early 80s KTM had aluminum rims, removable rear frame and aluminum handlebars, upside down fork, yamaha still locked like cheap 50cc mopeds with steal handlebars and single frame. KTM began developing an ultra-modern 4-stroke engine in 1982 based on the 500cc 2-stroke housing. The name of this engine was also a reference to its design: LC4 1981 - Production of the first water-cooled 125 cc Motocross bike. 700 employees achieve an annual turnover of ATS 750 million, 76% of the production is exported to 13 countries. 1986 - KTM becomes the first manufacturer to offer disc brakes front and rear. www.google.no/amp/s/elitektm.wordpress.com/2016/02/25/the-illustrated-history-of-ktm/amp/
The Volvo V8 is actually the Ford Taurus SHO V8 with greater displacement. And it is based heavily upon the Ford DuraTec V6 engine, hence the 60 degree included angle.
So basically Toyota and Yamaha have been giving the automotive world some of the best engines since 1967. I mean seriously, the sound that LFA makes never gets old.
ZEEPOxWiZARD iix only part of the head, not even all. And that was mostly in the 1jz. The 2jz is mostly toyota and when I mean mostly I mean 95% of the engine(at least)
I wonder if I should try to find a '96-'99 Taurus SHO. I always wanted one. Also, Ford took the Yamaha V8 from the SHO, placed it in a Festiva, and created the one-off SHOgun hatch, back in the mid 90s. Would've put the Renault 5 Turbo to shame. 😀
The 96 to 99 Sho was a fun car, I owned a 97 but I was correcting you on the Shogun,Festiva. It had the first generation Yamaha V6, Not the V8.The V8 if you can still find one in good condition was great in the Taurus, It's not the fastest thing in the world anymore 0-60 in about 7.5 seconds but the sound was intoxicating.
It was indeed however you forgot to mention that toyota pioneered VVTI through the BEAMS dual VVTI on the 3SGE. This means before Honda or BMW or anybody else for that matter. This is a god tier engine from yamaha and Toyota that once again showed the world they are kings of small engine power and efficiency.. You also forgot to mention the 1JZ as that also had a yamaha head with titanium valves. ;)
B8444S in 2005 had main issue with drainage in block. In 2006 Volvo fixed it, but they never admitted this bug. Also, this engine was used in Noble. Of course - with turbos.
I think Yamaha; builds amazing audio equipment, instruments, engines, bikes, yeah they truly do deserve more credit and appreciation.
yamaha makes garbage motorcycles, their part support is horrible you cant buy new parts for any of their bikes 20 years old or older.

The Yamaha super Ténéré 1200 is my favorite bike because of it's reliability
I have the S80 with the v8 and its an excellent engine. Its quick, makes a glorious sound, and has been bulletproof so far.
The Volvo/Yamaha V8 was the engine they used to base their 5 liter, flat plane crank racing engine that competed in v8 supercars.
Let’s not forget the Ford Duratec 1.4 engine co-developed by Yamaha found in the Ford Fiesta from 2002 to 2007! Great reliable little engine!
Not only the 1.4
1.25, 1.6, 1.7 and all the EcoBoost variants are the same base engine.
And all the 4 pot Duratec 1.8,2.0 and 2.3 came from Mazda or basicly Mazda designed and engineered. So most off Ford's petrol 4 pots were Japanese...

I need to shut up. But honestly, I love those Taurus SHO sedans. And even though I hate 6 cylinders (the only 6 bangers I like are two stroke detroits), that Yamaha V6 sounds like awesomeness. But that 3.4 V8 tho......I LOVE THAT 3.4!!!! God!!!! To me that engine is like the Japanese version of the Windsor.......Dafuq did I just say?
Again, the Taurus SHO is the bomb!!!! :D Sorry if I sounded stupid. :P
6 cylinders are great. In fact, to my knowledge, every single inline-6 ever made is known for being reliable.
The 3.4 was a modified Ford engine, not a Yamaha engine. Basically a 2.5 Duratec with 2 extra cylinders. The V6 SHO is the real Yamaha deal. Too bad the examples he picked in this video sound terrible. No self-respecting SHO V6 sounds like that.
V6 SHO was a good engine starts to burn oil later in life tho
atheist45 The V8 is as much as a Yamaha engine as the V6- the V6 was designed off the existing Vulcan engine. The V8 was designed off the Duratec- the V8 had an aluminum engine blocks, using the patented Cosworth process, at their Windsor, Ontario plant, considering they even shipped them to Japan for finishing by Yamaha. The finished engines were shipped back to the Taurus plant. They’re definitely Yamaha built- both the V6 and V8 are Yamaha built.
We had the volvo xc90 with the b8444s engine in it and it was so cool
We can learn a thing from this video and it is that Toyota really knows who to talk to in order to produce high end engines.
Yamaha is such a great company in all its divisions. They make superb bikes, pianos, drums,guitars... It is really hard to achieve that level in such a wide and different range of products.
Of course thanks to VisioRacer for producing informative videos,not like many others youtubers that do 10 minute videos talking shit about their cars and lifes because they don't really have knowledge and they don't want to "waste" their time researching
I have both 4AGE 20V blacktop and 2ZZGE. Love my toyotas
Serge de Beaumont haha, I also have the blacktop and 2zz 👍🏻
Toyota/Yamaha co designed engine from the Elise is found in the Celica 190vvti/GTS and Corolla T Sport.
Plus there was a limited run of Corolla T Sport with this engine in supercharged form (yes from the factory). I believe there are 250 of that model in the UK. 230bhp.
Underrated cars.
Thanks for review. Very good job. I got Volo xc90 with v8 yamaha engine. 195k miles and still going strong and reliable motor.
3:08 A tuned version of this engine is also used in Noble M600
It has two Garret superchargers and makes up to 660 HP in the race setting.
Best video big fan of yamaha
I friggin' love the English in this.
Had no idea the 4A-GE was Yamaha.
Hoping the one in my MR2 will be revived in the next few days. :D
802 Garage Actually not fully yamaha but mostly, the timing design is toyota developed and patent
Yeah Yamaha is mostly just amazing at flow design and head function. 👍
802 Garage yes sir
I have a 94 SHO with the Yamaha V-6 that thing is awesome it's hard to believe that much power comes from a factory engine
Thats why Yamaha can make hi tech inline 4 crossplane engine on a road going R1 superbike. Sounds amazing too 👍
It's worth mentioning that Volvo V8 also powered the almighty NOBLE M600.
Didn't the Ford Fiesta 1.25 (Sigma?) engine originate from Yamaha as well?
johnyfartpants yes it is and you can even go so far that the basics of that engine still live on until today. The 1.6 Ecoboost and its successor, the 1.5 Ecoboost are basically Sigma engines.
Ford Puma 1.7 VCT not the fiesta
There was the 1.25 engine with Yamaha development and the 1.4, 1.6 and 1.7 of the Ford Puma, which were Yamaha engineered, especially the 1.7. The ST170 is Cossie-Developed...
As Chris McGyver correctly states - the 1.25l engine in the european Fiesta (not sure about the US one) was co-developed between Yamaha and Ford, an all aluminium DOHC 16v unit I believe (obviously with steel cylinder liners) plus the variants of 1.4l, 1.6l and 1.7l also used in the Fiesta (but not the 1.7l although you could easily transplant it into a Fiesta if you had the time and expertise) and Puma. A sweet smooth torquey unit that was in 1.25l form in several mk5 Fiestas that I owned over the years. It was that good, it would accelerate on a gradual uphill part of a motorway in 5th at 70mph - something that earlier versions of Fiestas just couldn't do. And it would keep accelerating so long as you mashed your accelerator into the floor! I surprised many a BMW and Mercedes driver by doing that and then flashing them to pull in cos I was going faster than them - then keep the speed above 90mph and they never bothered you, unless it pissed them off that much, in which case they'd blast past me at around 120mph, just to prove a point, but they'd bottle it and slow back down to 80 and I'd catch up with them again and do it all over again! happy days! lol! And the rozzers (cops to non UK residents) never bothered me cos they never thought a bog standard scruffy 1.25l Fiesta Zetec would be capable of such a thing - a real sleeper car for pocket money prices! lol!
Mazda 2 demio as well 1.25
I have a stock 2003 JDM Corolla Fielder wagon with the 2ZZ-GE Yamaha motor. 190 hp, 4 speed tiptronic, 180,000kms and going strong. 100mph is a breeze.
Gotta say I didn't expect that sound to come out of a Volvo SUV. Yeah I'll take the kids to practice in that lol
Can't forget the Yamaha outboard success!
hi i am from good old germany and the european ford focus mk1 from 1998-2004 - benzin gasoline engine zetec s engine 1596 and 1398 ccm with 55 KW and 74 KW also from Yamaha engineered
good engines
I believe it was the 1.25 and 1.4,not the 1.6. It was a great little unit which loved to rev, but if you let the oil get a little low or skipped oil changes they would suffer quite rapidly,more so than other stuff treated equally as poorly.
I love the sound of the LFA, it sounds more like an electric car than an electric car. Sound is straight out of TRON 😂 light cycle style. Love it.
i had that B8444S in an XC90. Very nice engine.
Can someone explain why his vids get dislikes
Piece of Awsome just some Honda's fanboy
steven huang Hahaha that's probably it
his accent id say, or the use of others videos
Ford Pinto fanboys
Missing a few of the Yamaha built engines.
If you look at Yamaha dirt bikes they developed nearly every new technology you see in modern bikes such as mono shock rear suspension, liquid cooling, and they produced the first 4 stroke mx bike the yz400f and started the 4 stroke revolution. They may not have been the first to perfect any of this tech but they were always the first to come up with it.
Matthew Weisenburger very true, and right now they make the best 250f bike on the market
KTM is the best innovator in dirt bikes. Yamaha usually only release high tech on factory team bikes. Years later it's on the normal bikes.
KTM had liquid cooling on the entire lineup way before Yamaha. Same with one rear shock and upside down front fork and also liquid cooled 4strokes before Yamaha dirt bikes.
Back in the early 80s KTM had aluminum rims, removable rear frame and aluminum handlebars, upside down fork, yamaha still locked like cheap 50cc mopeds with steal handlebars and single frame.
KTM began developing an ultra-modern 4-stroke engine in 1982 based on the 500cc 2-stroke housing. The name of this engine was also a reference to its design: LC4
1981 - Production of the first water-cooled 125 cc Motocross bike. 700 employees achieve an annual turnover of ATS 750 million, 76% of the production is exported to 13 countries.
1986 - KTM becomes the first manufacturer to offer disc brakes front and rear.

one of the most interesting motor chanels on CZcams
My family used to own a Toyota Matrix, the engine sounds so good when you accelerate. Those cars are getting pretty rare and valuable now
Yamaha make great musical instuments as well. Coincidence?
Toyota is life ❤
MostlyIrishCarGuy Not in Forza 7
MostlyIrishCarGuy need that S-FR concept to be in production
Manav Khakh Damn I felt sad on that time
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN
Manav Khakh i don't play forza I don't get it
That Volvo v8 was so fast-revving, hard to believe it was only 325hp
4:39 never knew I will find anything better than 4AG-E engine music but then that Lexus man that another awesome engine music.
I am the biggest fan of Toyota 4A-GE
God bless Yamaha 😎, Sad that Toyota disrespected by letting BMW screw up the Supra,
How did bmw screw up the supra?
The Volvo V8 is actually the Ford Taurus SHO V8 with greater displacement. And it is based heavily upon the Ford DuraTec V6 engine, hence the 60 degree included angle.
The spoiler on the bubble Taurus always makes me giggle
that 2000 gt doeehh 2tg engine developed by yamaha 2tg is the grandfather of 4age
Yamaha The Best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So basically Toyota and Yamaha have been giving the automotive world some of the best engines since 1967. I mean seriously, the sound that LFA makes never gets old.
Yamaha knows sound and they make their engines into instruments!
Ok, I don't know if I was just told wrong, but I heard Yamaha helped develop the 1jz and 2jz engines?
Yes, most likely
Yamaha worked on the 1JZ head, but I believe that Toyota had a German partner for the development of the 2JZ.
rickmancr 2jzs are Yamaha they have it stamped on the head
ZEEPOxWiZARD iix Memory playing tricks! Saw Yamaha on my Soarer Head, but never had the Aristo apart.
ZEEPOxWiZARD iix only part of the head, not even all. And that was mostly in the 1jz. The 2jz is mostly toyota and when I mean mostly I mean 95% of the engine(at least)
What about for the Ford-Mazda/Yamaha Zetec Engine??
If you loose all coolant it will drive with 3 cylinders alternating the one that's being cooled by intake air.
I wonder if I should try to find a '96-'99 Taurus SHO. I always wanted one.
Also, Ford took the Yamaha V8 from the SHO, placed it in a Festiva, and created the one-off SHOgun hatch, back in the mid 90s. Would've put the Renault 5 Turbo to shame. 😀
I have a 94 Taurus SHO that thing is awesome
The 96 to 99 Sho was a fun car, I owned a 97 but I was correcting you on the Shogun,Festiva. It had the first generation Yamaha V6, Not the V8.The V8 if you can still find one in good condition was great in the Taurus, It's not the fastest thing in the world anymore 0-60 in about 7.5 seconds but the sound was intoxicating.
My second new car i bought was a 95 SHO, it was always a pleasure to drive, I miss that car.
It was indeed however you forgot to mention that toyota pioneered VVTI through the BEAMS dual VVTI on the 3SGE. This means before Honda or BMW or anybody else for that matter. This is a god tier engine from yamaha and Toyota that once again showed the world they are kings of small engine power and efficiency.. You also forgot to mention the 1JZ as that also had a yamaha head with titanium valves. ;)
It is pronounced s h o not show. Do your reasearch.
don't forget the 2JZ variants, they all had yamaha heads as well
Arthur Wall I said dual VVTI, you know, the VVTI worth having :)
The 1 and 2jz don't deserve mention since they are just a clone of the jaguar xk6 series engines.
@Corey Schmidt What are you talking about, the 1 and 2JZ are derived from previous toyota i6 engines, all the way back to and even past the 2000GT
Thought It was gonna sound like heavy guitar strums and piano chord but I was wrong lml
Lol that was funny 🤣🤣
B8444S in 2005 had main issue with drainage in block. In 2006 Volvo fixed it, but they never admitted this bug.
Also, this engine was used in Noble. Of course - with turbos.
Ooh, the other day I was researching about Yamaha's involvement with car manufacturers, and a few weeks later, you made a video about it!
