Don't know if they have produced a car.

Another example of top Japanese supercar is the little known Yamaha OX 99 11 .This car is from 1992 on that time at high speed the equilibrum was so nice no worries because aerodynamics was well made.3.5 V6 400 hp from Formula 1.Max RPM was 10 000 rpm
More radical than the McLaren F1 because that car was a single seater , everything was coming from F1

so with those 3 cars, u think Japanese supercars are about heritage and performance? what abt the 100s of supercars that the europeans made over the years...? they are all abt the name and not heritage and performance?

it's not only abt making a powerful supercar....it is abt making a powerful supercar and then get some recognition. if those Japanese supercars were good, then why didn't they get any recognition like euro supercars? why general ppl or car magazines never talk abt them?

simply put....u can't compare Japanese supercars with European supercars. Euro Supercars are in a different league.. Japanese still need to catch up with Europeans, when it comes to supercars.

no Actually the Yamaha OX 99 11 was ready to be made but Japanses economy was bad on that time so they couldn't build it.About a real Japanese Supercar the SKYLINE GTR is the one.There have been many generation of it , R32, R33 ,R34 , before KPGCT10 and another one.That car has got heritage a true heritage.A Skyline GTR is very able to beat Euro Supercars.In the late 80s begin 90s tyhe Honda NSX was a very adavanced supercar with Aluminium body and chassi , ESP system before mercedes Benz did it , VTEC system.And before in the 60s Toyota had introduced the 2000GT which was able to beat Euro sportscar of that era.And those cars got regonition in their era

yes! cars like Skyline GTR, NSX and Supras are great. they got a good recognition in their era........but what i'm saying is, Japanese are still not able to build high end supercars.....infact, NSX, GTR and Supras are more like sports cars......I don't think they are considered as supercars. Japanese can make great sports cars.......no doubt abt it. but when it comes to supercars.....they still need to build something more exotic and powerful, which europeans had been building for years.

yes but I think Japanese car industry is worried if the car will be sold or not that's why they didn't build supercar.There have been some attempt of supercar like the Toyota GTone road car , the Nissan R 390 GT1 road car.Those car were in the spirit of CLK GTR or 911 GT1.About the toyota only was amde and about Nissan I don't know more than one.
