Venturi Automobiles from Monaco is an automotive supplier , a racing team in motorsport and at the same time a former automobile manufacturer .
Foundation and company history
The Monegasque entrepreneur and venture investor Gildo Pallanca Pastor bought Venturi Paris SA , which went bankrupt in 2000 . The production of its model Venturi 300 Atlantique continued in a factory near Nice until 2001. Then the new Venturi Fétish appeared . With the Fétish, Pastor, together with his team of around 15 at the time, wanted to move away from the image as a Porsche competitor and towards an exclusive, expensive and unique small series manufacturer. Initially, the Fétish was supposed to serve as an inexpensive base, but these plans were abandoned.
In June 2015, Venturi made the decision to forego the small-series production of automobiles from now on, to act only as a supplier of drive trains in the future and to get involved in motorsport and in setting speed records.
Activity in the field of electric cars
- For the base models Peugeot Partner and Citroën Berlingo , Venturi converts series vehicles to electric drives. The vehicle won a larger tender from the French Post Office . Between May and July 2010, a slightly modified version, the Berlingo First "powered by Venturi" , covered the approx. 14,000 km Shanghai - Paris route, setting a record for electric series vehicles.
- The Venturi Jamais Contente , built in cooperation with Ohio State University and named after the first road vehicle with over 100 km / h , set speed records for electric cars: in 2009 with an average of 487 km / h (based on fuel cells), in 2010 with on average over 495 km / h, at the top 515 km / h (based on batteries).
- In 2013, Gildo Pallanca Pastor founded the Venturi Formula E Team racing team together with Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio , among others . This will take place in 2014 in the newly founded FIA Formula E Championship .
