The Yamaha OX99-11 V12 was a sports car project designed by Yamaha's subsidiary Ypsilon Technology and IAD, an English engineering consultancy, which was supposed to enter production in 1994.
However, disagreements between IAD and Yamaha over the budget made Yamaha take the project to its own Ypsilon Technology, which was given six months to finish the project, otherwise it would be terminated. To make matters worse, Japan was at that time in the midst of a financial crisis, which led Yamaha to believe it wouldn't be able to find any customers for the car, which was expected to have an $800,000 price tag (over $1.53 million in 2021 dollars).
Eventually the project was delayed until 1994, before finally being cancelled. A total of three prototypes were built by IAD. Of all the 3 OX99-11 supercars made, one is green, another one is red and the third a black unit.
