U.S. Market Presence (1985‑1992)
The Yugo 55 entered the United States market in 1985 and remained on sale there until 1992, thanks to importer Malcolm Bricklin who introduced the model to American buyers.
Rare Prototypes and Aftermarket Experiments
Enthusiasts have restored a lost Yugo prototype that was never sold to the public, and Zastava also built a Yugo Florida 2.0 prototype using a Fiat Bravo 2.0 engine. In addition, hobbyists have performed dramatic V8 conversions on the Yugo platform.
