Taking Yugo's 1.3L engine that only makes 64 hp and making it 315 hp does take a lot of time, work and $$$. And stock Yugo only weights 2,000 pounds, this one weights even less.

Absolutely completely nuts.
I like it.
Will that kind of torque and horsepower peel the sheetmetal back on a holeshot though? Very possible on a Yugo.
How did they keep it from rusting into small brown flakes before they finished with it?

"lets..... make... a twin turbo yugo''

Few years ago car and driver did a story on Yugo called "Corvette killer". It was faster than 'Vette Z06.
Green Yugo have 140 hp. I saw videos of owner driving it.

Zoran, what's the story behind the red yugo? any details?
Looks like it is being trailered around somewhere in the US

Owner of red Yugo is also owner of white Yugo Convertible, yellow Lamorghini Gallardo and I think he also have Yugo Limo. I'll post some pic when I get home.

When I went to the Speedway I saw a POS looking Yugo. Rusty brown colored, and really beater looking.
Seeing it fly down the track with an 11 sec ET was priceless.

Yugo stopped importing their cars to the USA in 1991 so they're hard to find in good condition (they're hard to find in general).
All Yugos in this topic (except green one which is located in Serbia) are located in the USA and they're fully restored. I think that owner is currently living in Louisiana.
