Eight Passenger

Yamaha’s official golf-car history begins with the YG292 in 1975, and the company’s published historical and product pages describe Yamaha golf cars primarily as 2-passenger and 5-passenger machines. I could not verify an official Yamaha factory nameplate or model run specifically marketed as an Eight Passenger vehicle. What appears under this description is more consistent with an 8-seat shuttle or stretched golf-car configuration built from Yamaha hardware, often based on later Yamaha golf-car chassis by dealers or specialty upfitters, rather than a standalone Yamaha model launched and cataloged by the manufacturer. Because no authoritative Yamaha source confirms an exact first or final model year for this nameplate, both years are left unset.
