The future look of the Yugo

Macedonian designer Dejan Hristov, on his Behance profile, publishes his predictions of what some cars might look like nowadays. One of the predictions relates to the future look of one of the popular cars in the former Yugoslavia, the Yugo.

Many will say the Yugo is the worst car ever. They may be right, but this car isn’t made for front pages. The Yugo is a working class car, and as such it had one task, to transport you from one place to another.

It all started in 1980 when the first copy of this car, the Yugo 45, came off the factory lines. Although below average quality and without additional equipment, the Yugo was sold in 800,000 copies. During its 28 years of existence, it was also sold on the North American market from 1985 to 1991. The price was less than $ 4,000, making it the cheapest car in America.

Dejan Hristov’s vision is an electric Yugo and he wants to turn his idea into reality. In one of his statements, Dejan Hristov said:

“Considering that the components for the first Yugo were produced throughout the former Yugoslavia, it is possible that Rimac Automobili from Croatia will take part in the project.”

Whether his vision will become a reality remains to be seen.
