Yamaha's rotary concept shown at the 1972 Tokyo Motor Show, developed with Yanmar under an NSU licence. It used two counter-rotating rotors and a combined periphery/side port system, with oil injected into the mixture to lube and cool the rotors. It never reached series production, though its build quality led many to treat it as a prototype.
