Venturi Fetish |
THE AMBASSADRESS OF THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE At the “Mondial de l'Automobile” (Paris Motor Show) of 2004, Venturi launched a surprising concept for its 20th anniversary : Fétish, the world’s 1st electric sports car. This highly innovative move from Venturi caused a major cultural change. Since then, the Venturi Fétish has gone all around the world, changing the image of the electric car and influencing the entire automotive industry, from small craftsmen to large manufacturers. A real laboratory, it has enabled us to acquire and master the most innovative technologies which we have then used to benefit other models we have designed. The great virtue of the Fétish is thus to have propelled the Venturi brand to the forefront in just a few years, making it a visionary company at the leading edge of technology. VM300 : A NEW GENERATION OF ELECTRIC MOTORS Presented in April 2008 at the Top Marques Salon in Monaco, Venturi’s new VM300 is the most successful electric motor ever designed for this type of application. Offering over 300 hp (+220 kW), this new-generation motor benefits in particular from Venturi’s efforts to reduce the weight of its components. As for torque, the 220 Nm of the 2008 version has risen to 380 Nm today (an improvement of 72%). Weighing only 35 kilos, it in fact means 30% less mass for 22% more power, as compared with our 1st-generation motor, all with outstanding energy efficiency of 92%. To obtain the quintessence of such a motor, a new battery pack of 45 kWh was developed (based on LIV-8 Lithium-Polymer batteries): it will be available as standard equipment from September, 2009. |
