Yugo “Ampera”
European car brands have made big inroads in the global automotive scene but the same cannot be said for Serbian international car maker Zastava Automobiles.
The company ceased vehicle production in 2008 owing to bad core management which overshadows the fair success of Zastava Yugo.
The modern compact city car was a good alternative to Fiat 128 and was popular among the crowd for its cheesy design and thumping attitude back in 1977.
There was a cult following for the Yugo in the following decades with modifications and tuning customizations. However, the brand failed to keep up with design and performance evolution at the factory.
This led to the downfall and fast-forward to the present day – not many people have even heard of this automotive manufacturer.
Now, a Serbian-based designer envisions what could have happened if the brand continued on its path of success
