1977 Atomica Yugelo

This car was built in 1977 during the boom of sedans, salooons, and oil prices. During times of automotive turmoil in America, Atomica prospered in the US market along with Verbrau and Torikku, respectively German and Japanese automotive manufacturers. The combination of an all too generous engine bay for a two-stroke engine, named the "V2i," front wheel drive, and tendency to flip made this undeniably the worst car ever made in the seventies.

Every Yugelo made was recalled by order from governments worldwide for being the most polluting car on the road. Nevertheless, the Yugelo was brought back next year with a sport model.

Despite having every conceivable flaw a car could have, the large engine bay and room under the frame for any differential choice you could dream of would make this car popular amongst car enthusiasts in the late eighties.

Fun fact: This car introduced the concept of the third brake light to the American market, predicting the federal requirement of the light worldwide in 1996.
This car also introduced the L-pad design of the rear lights that would become Atomica's signature all the way through the nineties.
