Venturi Fetish





TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS


The car's acceleration is comparable to a normal internal combustion engined sports car, producing approximately 250  Horsepower (180 kW), with a 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) time of "under 5 seconds" according to the 2007 press kit. Its top speed is less comparable however, at 160 km/h (100 mph), which is respectable considering that it only has one gear. It runs at a constant translation of 9.58 : 1, with a torque of 220 Nm.

One other particular attraction of the car is that due to the electric Traction Motor , the full 220 Nm torque is available at all motor speeds including from a dead stop, as opposed to the progressive delivery of an internal combustion engined car, where full power is only available within certain RPM ranges.

The company specifies the car with a range of 250 km (combined use). The batteries are all Lithium Ion accumulators, offering a complete recharge in 1 hour (under 30 kW three-phase) and in 3 hours with a standard grid thanks to its onboard charger.
