Endurance - Venturi

Venturi is a French automotive manufacturer that is well-known for producing high-performance sports cars and electric vehicles (EVs). The company has had a somewhat eclectic history, with a focus on producing unique and innovative vehicles.

Founded in 1984 by Gianfranco Pizzuto, Venturi Automobiles was initially established in Nice, France. Venturi’s early models focused on producing exotic sports cars that were both stylish and performance-oriented. Their cars were designed with a focus on aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and advanced technology.

One of their earliest sports cars, the Venturi 200, was a mid-engine sports coupe with sleek styling. The car was powered by a V6 engine, offering solid performance for its time.

Venturi continued to evolve with the Venturi 400, which had a more powerful V6 engine and was capable of reaching top speeds over 180 mph.

In addition to producing road cars, Venturi has also been involved in motorsports, particularly in electric racing. The company entered Formula E, the world’s first fully-electric racing series, and became an official manufacturer in the competition. Venturi has been competing in Formula E since its inception and has had several successful seasons, becoming one of the leading teams in electric racing.

As electric vehicle technology continues to evolve, Venturi remains a key player in the development of high-performance electric cars. Venturi is currently focusing on producing high-end electric vehicles with a combination of luxury, performance, and sustainability in mind. Their electric vehicle development also extends to battery technology and aerodynamics, which is consistent with their motorsports background.
