Andy, thats was the prototype for the Venturi Fetish, and how it was going to initially look, (back in 2002), but the Fetish now looks like it does today, and no longer Spider based. The prototype is now called the Grand Prix. Thats why there is no info, as it was like a testbed, much like the A310 was like for Delorean...

Notice the Renault/Peugeot 60 degree V6 that I mentioned a while back..

the fetish prototype is the one the picture behind it........ and it is powered by batteries has a roof and is made for the road, not a 3ltr V6 open caged race car like the GP

The 'Grand Prix' was Venturi's trial into the two seater 'Elise-esque' style market, and is what spawned the current Fetish Concept. It is older than the Fetish.

The first Fetish had a Spider rear subframe and a Peugeot 2.0 206 GTi engine in it..

Back in 2002, I stumbled on the Venturi Fetish website when it was first conceived and they were trying to market it with the Peugoet Engine. It was only 45000 Euros back then, but it never took off.

Now its electric, isnt it something like £300000??

ah....

price below ha ha

Are they having a laugh
£310 K
Innovative but ................................ 350 kilo battery
You'd need a Polaris Sub to jumpstart it .........................

Its quick though....some where on that website is a video if it accellerating down some long tarmac lane upto a large stately home, and it just gets faster and faster accellerating, no gear changes, like a train..

But nowhere do they mention its range .............That vid is probably the owner of the stately pile trying to get out of his drive then realising it needs a recharge

I think I saw 62 mph in 5.2 and top speed of just over a hundred, but only a range of 200 miles and it will take a lot longer that 5 minutes to refuel, probably like 8 hours to recharge.

Yes, my bad 250-350 kilometers .

It's designed for the customer who loves to protect the ozone layer over the small principality that they reside in for 183 days of each year as it doesn't hve the range to get over the border into france , but when they travel to other parts of the globe in their much cheaper Ferrari 612 Scaglietti run-around they can afford to destroy the ozone layer by burning €500 notes

It says on the site 0-100km/h (0-62mph) 4.5 seconds, and a top speed of 170km/h (105 mph)
