2011 Yamaha VXR/VXS Revealed

Yamaha counters its personal watercraft competitors with high-performance 2011 models

The new Yamaha VXR and VXS WaveRunner models were introduced to dealers, along with the rest of the 2011 line, at a meeting in Atlanta on August 25. Using a classic high-performance formula, Yamaha has dropped a big engine in a little hull, specifically the 180-hp version of its 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine in a light-weight rendition of the VX-series hull, an econo-model previously powered by a 110-hp, 1.0-liter engine. The aim is to offer a high-performance model that takes enthusiast riders back in time, to the days when a fast PWC was smaller, lighter, and less expensive.

2011 Yamaha VXR

"We challenged ourselves to create a WaveRunner that could run out in front of the most high-performance watercraft on the market, and to do it at a price thousands less than anything else," said Scott Watkins, Yamaha's product development manager.  "We achieved it by matching our 1812cc engine, the largest displacement in the industry, with a lightweight compact platform.  By doing this, we didn't need to rely on a supercharger or intercooler to meet the top end of our performance benchmarks, which helped keep the price low. "

Pricing starts at $10,899 for the VXS, which has a traditional, stepped three-passenger seat and is only offered in Eclipse Black color. The VXR has a lower-profile, racing-style seat and metallic paint finish in blue or silver, and will cost $11,199. That's about $2,000 less expensive than the sporty 2010 FZS models, which have a 230-hp supercharged version of the 1.8-liter engine.

A Yamaha spokesperson told me that the changes the company made to the 2010 VX models (see "PWC Expert: 2010 Yamaha VX Cruiser" ), including reshaping the deck and revisions to the pump intake area in the hull, were intended to accommodate the 1.8-liter engine in 2011. In the VXR/VXS, both the hull and deck are formed using Yamaha's NanoXcel, a lightweight composite material developed for the FX and FZ series.  While Yamaha has not release an official weight spec for the VXR/VXS, one source is claiming the new models will have a dry weight of only 721 pounds. If that's correct, the VXR/VXS will actually weigh less than the 736-pound VX models, despite coming loaded with 70 more horsepower. That's possible in part because of the lighter composite, and because the 1.8-liter engine is more compact than the older 1.0 liter engine. One dealer who has had a chance to test the VXS on the water reports a top speed of more than 65 mph.

Other than some new colors, there are no other significant changes to the Yamaha WaveRunner line for 2011. And, as yet, I don't have any information on the 2011 Yamaha sport boats.

Yamaha will make the VXS and VRX available for media testing in the next few weeks, and after I've had a chance to ride one I'll be back with full details of features, specs and performance.

Joining the new 2012 Charger SRT8 Super Bee at the LA Auto Show will be the official unveiling of another shocking yellow creation, the Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 Yellow Jacket. Painted Stinger Yellow, it's powered by the impressive new 6.4-liter Hemi V8 with 470-hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, and is capable of hitting 60 mph in the 4.0 second range with a top speed of 182-mph.

Other performance goodies include a two-stage adaptive damping suspension system, steering wheel mounted paddle shifters (automatic models), as well as 20-inch wheels. The adaptive damping suspension adjusts the firmness of the shocks in "Auto" mode based on factors like speed, steering angle, brake pressure, throttle pressure and both lateral and vertical acceleration. In a "Sport" mode it delivers the stiffer possible setting.

Styling highlights are extensive with a black grille surround, black body-side stripes and a Yellow Jacket logo, while inside are black leather seats with a Stinger Yellow band and embroidered Yellow Jacket logo.

"The Challenger SRT8 392 Yellow Jacket adds another piece of performance car nostalgia to our rear-drive muscle coupe lineup in 2012," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO SRT Brand and Motorsports. "The Stinger Yellow paint and interior accents speak directly to the performance enthusiast who appreciates a memorable and collectible color that helps deliver even more excitement and exclusivity."

Look for the Challenger SRT8 392 Yellow Jacket to hit dealers in the first quarter of 2012.

Arguably a supercharged or even tunable car would have spoken more. I do like the color scheme, it's great, but come on...

And what "nostalgia" does it add? I don't remember seeing a Yellow Jacket version when these cars were new in the 70's.

I agree with ya Greyhound...MAKE IT FASTER AND TUNEABLE!!!!

OMG! They kill me with changing the paint and adding graphics to make it "special"! The people running Dodge do what "they like" on these cars not what their target market likes.

Maybe Giles should buy everyone those "special" cars!
