Unleashed Power: The 1981 Yenko Turbo Z - The Turbocharged Camaro GM Never Dared to Release!

The 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Yenko Turbo Z! One of the most powerful muscle cars of its era, but you probably didn’t know that.

Despite the rapidly growing popularity of performance cars in the U.S. since they first launched in the early '60s, the quality of performance cars produced between 1980 and 1983 was abysmal and downright shocking. From mediocre horsepower levels to ugly designs, the iron-block V8 engines that were churned out in these cars were not hitting the standard in terms of acceleration, handling, and overall user experience. Heck, it almost looked like the muscle car market was dying. Well, all that was true until the Turbo Z of the 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 was released.

Welcome back to the channel, in this video, we will look at the interesting history of the 1981 Yenko Turbo Z—the ultra-rare turbocharged Camaro that General Motors was too scared to make.
