Tag : Venturi

One of the rather posh French car brands, Venturi is well-known for the luxury electric vehicles it sells. Unlike its other counterparts, Renault and Peugeot, this brand is a recent one – it was founded in the early eighties. Wishing to make a pledge out of delivering exclusively electric vehicles, Venturi designed two famous models that attracted worldwide attention: the Fetish and Eclectic. The latter acquired media attention due to its rather awkward shape and to being the world’s first solar-electric vehicle. The Fetish, an entirely electric sports car, takes pride in a full 340 km range and a maximum of 110 miles per hour. Prices are a bit sharp – a mere $400 000, as this model is only manufactured in 5 items per year.
