2004 Venturi Fetish
Presented as a World Premiere at the 2004 Paris Motor Show, the Venturi Fetish is the first production electric sports car in automobile history. Fetish demonstrates that it is possible to make today what the big automobile manufacturers are only proposing 20 years from now.
Where public opinion considers an electric vehicle to be ugly, Fetish is the first electric car to be beautiful and desirable. Where public opinion believes that an electric car lacks performance, Fetish offers a remarkable acceleration and a maximum speed of 105 mph, well above the maximum speed limit. Finally, where electric cars are thought to seriously lack autonomy, the Fetish offers 220 miles (350 km) of autonomy and a rapid battery recharge (with 80 Amps) of 1 mile a minute or 10 minutes recharge for every 10 miles, easily covering the needs of daily urban transport.
Under the technical direction of Gerard Ducarouge, chief engineer of the project, Fetish has been conceived to be an electric vehicle with absolutely no compromise on batteries and using the best state of the art technology available world-wide, regardless of price. With the engine ideally positioned in rear central position and a monocoque carbon chassis, the overall architecture of the Venturi is comparable to that of a racing car. The roadholding is an evolution, even with regard to the Venturi Atlantique 300, already well renowned for its excellent roadholding.
The vehicle attains a record light weight of 1653 lb (750 kg) without and 2424 lb (1100 kg) with batteries.
Venturi's innovative approach represents a complete change in cultural direction, the evolution from the traditional sports car to a noiseless electric sports car, as well as a radical change in technological references, placing the battery, not the engine, at the epicentre of the automobile technological advancement and its performance.
With state of the art technology available and the mass production of batteries for mobile phones and laptop computers, an electric sports car is no longer out of the question.
However, before Fetish and the Lithium-Ion batteries, it was not possible to stock enough energy in an automobile: more than a ton of batteries would have been necessary to achieve the same power.
Driving a Fetish
Driving a Venturi Fetish is an entirely new experience. The car in equipped with a linear torque engine, 100% available on ignition, achieving 14,000 rpm and adjustable engine braking. With a 242 bhp (180 kW) engine, Fetish offers a unique driving sensation: accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in less than 5 seconds, demonstrating that its electric propulsion engine indeed supersedes many petrol engines over 330 bhp.
Commercialisation
Having integrated the obligatory standard norms for Europe, Japan and the USA right from the conception of Fetish, it will be made available for sale commencing with Tokyo (November 2004) and Los Angeles (January 2004), two markets that are particularly sensitive to environmental issues. Paris, London and Monte-Carlo have also been selected as the main target markets in Europe.
Assembled by hand and made to order, Fetish is already available for sale - a trendsetting concept, at a price of $664,000 (540,000 Euro). The new Venturi is destined for the select few visionaries seeking to be identified with such a unique automobile.
The Fetish Concept
Fetish has been conceived to demonstrate that there is an exciting alternative to the petrol engine. This playful and innovative alternative completely respects the very essence of automobile tradition, rarity, character and passion, as well as the world around us. Fetish utilizes and maximizes all available techniques and technologies with a unique goal: pleasure.
Pleasure of driving, visual and tactile pleasure - you will be thrilled to drive today, the automobile of tomorrow. Fetish simply demonstrates that there is a future after the death of the traditional car of today.

A beach house ofr $670k? Maybe one in Alaska, brother.
In any case, what the fuck is the point of a tach when the engine revs to 14k RPM instantly and stays there? Nostalgia?
Also, saying "noiseless engine" around a sports car enthusiast just ain't right. You'd think for $670k they could atleast include one of those fake BOVs off of ebay!

2010 Venturi Fétish
Press release...
At the Mondial de l'Automobile 2010 in Paris, Venturi is presenting a completely new Venturi Fetish, directly based on developments undertaken for Venturi's World Records program in Bonneville, USA (2009-2012) with the Venturi "JAMAIS CONTENTE", the fastest electric vehicle in the world.
Rear spoiler, black headlight trims, "Bonneville" colours and finishes recalling the decoration of the Venturi "Jamais Contente", the new Venturi Fetish does not, however, content itself with mere cosmetic retouching : a new motor, powerful new electronics, a new under-carriage, new batterie system, new design for the exterior, a new interior... In fact, all of its components have been reviewed to make this technological marvel a vehicle of true excellence.
With an output of over 300 HP for total weight of 1,225 kilos, 200 km/h, and 0-100 km/h in less than 4 secs, the Venturi Fetish has become a "muscle car", armed and ready for battle : above all, it is more than ever before the world's sportiest and most highly perfected example of an electric car.
Finally, it sees itself as a rarity, built of very high-tech materials : the Fetish is to be assembled by hand and made to order in our workshops in Monaco.
VM300 : A NEW GENERATION OF ELECTRIC MOTORS
With over 300 hp (+220 kW) and torque of 380 Nm, the VM300 is the most advanced electric motor ever designed for a car.
To get the very best out of such a motor, a new 54 kWh battery pack has been developed (LIV-10 Lithium Ion Polymer batteries) whose electronics (Battery Management System) have been entrusted to VENTEC, the leader in the field.
Venturi Fetish offers a real range of up to 340 km. Thanks to its on-board charger, it can recharge using a regular electrical socket or fast charge terminals (see Specs).
A RACING CAR CHASSIS
The Venturi Fetish's architecture is that of a racing car with a motor ideally mounted in a central position to the rear, backed by a carbon monocoque chassis.
The first chassis specifically designed to house a large volume of batteries, the carbon monocoque developed by Venturi provides an exceptional protection cell for its occupants ; it is completed by two deformable cells positioned at the front and rear of the vehicle. This concept guarantees the security of the battery in the event of an accident and provides a level of safety never before achieved in an electric vehicle.
A SPORTS CAR'S PERFORMANCE
Thanks to the 300 hp of its motor combined with a maximised weight of 1,225 kilos, a brand new undercarriage and very large tyres, the Venturi Fetish behaves like a sports car with exemplary road-holding and traction.
Leaping from 0 to 100km/hr in less than 4 seconds, the Venturi Fetish is a true acceleration car.
Furthermore, the Venturi Fetish offers a range of up to 340 km.
A "HANDMADE" VEHICLE
The Venturi Fetish is made by hand and to order in our workshops in Monaco.
The production is limited, but not the program of customization, our Designer Sacha Lakic being at the arrangement of every customer to assist him in his most exclusive desires.
Special attention has been paid to the vehicle's manufacturing quality, and particularly to the interior, with a dashboard featuring high-tech equipment, but also noble materials such as leather or carbon fiber.
COMMERCIALISATION
Benefitting from on-going technological evolution, the Venturi Fetish does not aim to be a mass-produced vehicle.
Made by hand and to order in the Principality of Monaco, it is reserved for an exclusive and avant-garde clientele : its production is limited to 10 cars per year.
The sales price of the Venturi Fetish is 300,000 € + VAT ; its completion time is currently 12 months.
With a 2-year guarantee, the Fetish benefits from assistance enabling our technicians to perform a tele-diagnosis by means of a simple WiFi or GPRS connection.
