The 3.2-liter V-6 that comes from Audi is built and tuned by HPG in Germany. In naturally aspirated form, the 3.2 makes 255 horsepower, while the turbocharged unit pumps out 355 — enough to launch the 2050-lb. 2-seater to 60 mph in just over 3 seconds.

In preparation for a spring launch, Funke & Will has established YES! North America and expects to name its first U.S. dealers in late February. Prices will likely start at around $75,000.
