A rare Yamaha version called the AMI was also produced with a Ferrari F40 inspired design. It came with the same engine as the Opti, but another choice was a DOHC 12-valve 55 bhp engine. Unlike the Ferrari F40, it was RWD and a mid-mounted engine It cost 2,000,000 yen which equaled the cost of two cars approximately the same size as the AMI. 600 were made but only 3 were sold. The AMI was only sold in Japan
