2011 Venturi Fetish

Besides the Venturi America Concept, the French manufacturer also introduced a completely new Venturi Fetish at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The new car is based on developments undertaken for Venturi's World Records program in Bonneville, with the Venturi "Jamais Contente", the fastest electric vehicle in the world. As a result, the new Venturi Fetish features a new rear spoiler black headlight trims, "Bonneville" colours and finishes recalling the decoration of the Venturi "Jamais Contente".

The new car carries a new generation of electric motors, dubbed VM300. This motor delivers 300 hp (+220 kW) and torque of 380 Nm, and promises to be the most advanced electric motor ever designed for a car. To obtain such a power, the car uses a new 54 kWh battery pack (LIV-10 Lithium Ion Polymer batteries) whose electronics (Battery Management System) have been entrusted to VENTEC.

With a total weight of just 1,225 kilos, the new Fetish can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4 seconds, and has a top speed of 124 mph or 200 km/h. Furthermore, the Venturi Fetish offers a range of up to 340 km. Venturi Fetish does not aim to be a mass-produced vehicle and a reason to sustain this is the price: 300,000 € + VAT plus a year of waiting in order to receive it.
