2010 Venturi Sport Cars Venturi America Electric Sport Cars

French automaker Venturi unveiled a new concept cars at the 2010 Paris Motor Show known as the Venturi America. The dune-buggy inspired pays a tribute to traditional America while incorporating some ecological awareness. This new American dream is embodied by this new model from VENTURI : a high-riding electric sports car that one can see oneself driving, one’s hair in the wind, through the fantastic scenery offered by this vast continent.

Monaco-based Venturi Automobiles, builders of the original $400,000 Fetish all-electric sports car, and a series of innovative zero-emission vehicles since, are displaying its newest showcase electric car, the Venturi AMERICA.

A real synthesis of two exclusive automobile worlds, the AMERICA is both an electric sports car and an all-terrain leisure vehicle. This “mix” approach ensures extreme versatility in use. Its performance, balance and sports car road-holding, combined with its particularly high body and specific tyre mounting, ensure that it is equally at ease on steep paths as on the highway. This electric “Buggy” offers the possibility of venturing off the beaten track while respecting the environment in terms of both noise pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Equipped with the same motor of over 300 hp as the VENTURI FÉTISH, this new-era “buggy” is, in fact, a high-powered lightweight vehicle with a chassis specially designed to suit its particularly high body. The AMERICA is nevertheless an acceleration car that symbolizes “cool green attitude” while being a luxury technological product.

The 2010 Venturi Sport Cars Venturi America Electric Sport Cars is an electric power driven one and the engine is same as that fitted on the Venturi Fetish. The power that we get is 300 hp or 220 kw and more along with 380 Nm of torque. The battery pack that is installed on the car is a 54 KwHr rated one and has LIV-10 Lithium ion Polymer cells.

The battery management system has been designed by Ventec who are the leading people in this field, which provides a range of up to 300 km at a stabilized speed of 90 km/h (190 miles at 56 mph stabilized). It can recharge using a standard electrical socket in 8 hours or at fast charge terminals in 3 hours.

Venturi Fetish

Venturi Fetish, 2005

The Venturi Fétish is the world's first production two-seater electric sports car. It is produced by Venturi in Monaco.

Technical specifications
The car is unique in that its acceleration is comparable to a normal internal combustion engined sports car, producing as it does 300 horsepower (180 kW), with a 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) time of 4.5 seconds. Its top speed is less comparable however, at 170 km/h (105 mph), which is respectable considering that it only has one gear. It runs at a constant translation of 9.58 : 1, with a torque of 220 Nm.

The other particular attraction of the car is that due to the electric motor, the full 300 bhp is available at all speeds, as opposed to the progressive delivery of a internal combustion engined car, where full power is only available within certain RPM ranges.

The company specifies the car with a range of 250 to 350 km (155 to 217 miles), which is perhaps the best one can get with an electric car. The batteries are all lithium ion accumulators, which recharge in about 16.5 hours at 16 amperes, or at 3.5 hours at 80 amperes.

Miscellaneous information
= All the car's electric drivetrain components are designed and made by AC Propulsion.
= The retail price for this car is € 450,000 (approx. US$575,000), VAT not included.
= The futuristic design of the car was done by the parisian designer Sacha Lakic.

Venturi Astrolab

Venturi Astrolab

Astrolab (latin astro = star, labe = to take) Takes energy from the sun, in order to move.

Electro - Solar Hybrid

With 3.6 sqm of photovoltaic cells giving an exceptional yield of 21%, and covered by a film composed of prisms enabling denser concentration of solar energy, Venturi Astrolab is the first high-performance solar vehicle to be commercialized in the world.

Capable of working with very little energy (16 kWc engine) and of recharging even when in motion, this vehicle of another era does not need to be permanently exposed to the sun in order to move. Its last-generation NiMH Venturi NIV-7 batteries - liquid cooled - in fact enable it to restitute stored energy, whether solar or from the electricity supply, making it the first electro-solar hybrid vehicle.

With a top speed of 120 kmhr and autonomy of 110 km, Venturi Astrolab is a real Solar Commuter making extensive trips on a daily basis.
Made by order, Venturi Astrolab is a vehicle with a considerable technological head-start on all other productions worldwide. It meets the needs of people's inter-urban travel, at the forefront of the best that is being achieved in terms of technology.

CONSUMPTION = 0, EMISSIONS = 0

This is very first vehicle that consumes no fossile resources in order to work the emissions of CO2 required for its construction will even be compensated for by evironmental actions.

A parallel can be drawn between Venturi Astrolab and a sailboat both advance silently while making best use of the elements provided by Nature. And the piloting of both makes for sensations unlike any other.
To attain this level of performance while using very little energy, Venturi Astrolab has been designed like a Formula 1 its carbon monocoque chassis is ultra-light and serves as an oversized protection cell ensuring the safety of its occupants in the event of a collision. Its profile recalls the aqua-dynamic design of great racing yachts.

A NEW ERA IN TERMS OF DESIGN

Venturi Astrolab also opens up a new era as regards automobile architecture light and highprofiled, it offers the rays of the sun 3.6 sqm of today's most sophisticated photovoltaic cells (for an overall vehicle length under 4 m).

Its designer Sacha Lakic describes Venturi Astrolab as a flying wing set on four wheels.
Optimised to incoporate its solar cells, the Venturi Astrolab's design takes into account the effect of passengers' weight on the vehicle's dynamic behaviour. Very light when empty, the tandem architecture makes for perfect balance, whether the vehicle is occupied by one person or two.

With Astrolab, Venturi has given priority to the solar solution as its energy conversion technology all of its developments allow us to hope for even higher yields in the years to come. Within a 30-year perspective, Venturi is the only automobile manufacturer capable of presenting such a solution while ensuring new driving sensations and an essential aspect of automobiles the dream.
