Venturi Fetish

The Fetish is an electric car, powered by a hundred 58 Kw/h lithium-ion batteries. Venturi tells us that the 180-Kw (242 hp) electric motor powers the 2400-pound, two-seat roadster to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. At full power, a top speed of 115 mph is possible, and light power usage produces a range of 220 miles. To aid performance the Venturi Fetish is constructed from lightweight materials, and as such wears a carbon fiber body wrapped around a carbon and aluminium honeycomb frame, giving the car a total weight of 1100 kgs (2450lbs). The general architecture of the car is similar to that of a racing car. The motor, ideally mounted in a central rear position, is enclosed in a carbon fiber monocoque chassis. As a result, the car weighs only 2,424 pounds with batteries, and 1,653 without. The Venturi Fétish can be considered the most contemporary car available today, since it takes into consideration today's ecological matters and simultaneously presents an extremely positive vision of tomorrow's automobile, made for driving pleasure. This very innovative approach constitutes a major cultural change - the entry of a noiseless electric car into the very elite circle of the true sports car.
