The Venturi Story: French Audacity in the Service of Performance
Founded in 1984 by Claude Poiraud and Gérard Godfroy, Venturi quickly established itself as a benchmark in the world of French sports cars. Based in Monaco, the brand has developed a unique approach combining Italian design, French technology, and a competitive spirit.
The first Venturis, like the legendary 200, revolutionized the approach to French motorsport in the 1980s. With their Peugeot-Renault-Volvo turbo engines and carbon fiber bodywork, these cars demonstrated that France could compete with the biggest Italian and German brands.
The shift towards electric models in the 2000s positioned Venturi as a pioneer in high-performance electric mobility, notably with its notable participation in the Formula E Championship. This technological transition perfectly illustrates the brand's capacity for constant innovation.
The Anecdote that Marks History
A fascinating anecdote from Venturi history concerns the 1994 Venturi 400 GT , nicknamed "The Fastest French Car." During its testing on the Montlhéry ring, this car reached a record speed of 306 km/h, becoming the first French production car to exceed 300 km/h.
This exceptional performance was achieved despite limited financial resources compared to German or Italian manufacturers. French ingenuity and the passion of the Venturi team made it possible to create a true technological gem that marked its era.
This technical feat is a testament to the pioneering spirit that has driven Venturi since its beginnings, a spirit that is faithfully reproduced in each Model in the collection.
