Venturi makes from today, no cars. Not that they are that in the past few years did, but from now on it is the closure of the factory officially. Thus comes to this electro-pioneer a long time with end.

Recently took larssb on the task of the first Venturi of oblivion to save, but it has, apparently, not to a renewed interest in the brand led. In any case, not for the electric sports car that the Monegasque brand could deliver. This is not managed to in thirteen years to be a success, and the factory is noodgewongen on slot.

Moreover, the Venturi behind the 400 GT and Atlantique is not a lot to do with the Venturi in 2002 with the Fetish on the came up. A small electric sports car with 240 hp and a range of 160 kilometers. In 2008 the car is still not in production and was the Tesla Roadster, the cheese of Venturi’s eat bread. With 0-100 in 3.5 seconds was the Fetish or faster than the Tesla, with 300,000 euros, he was also three times as expensive.

Still but was tried to the attention to keep, with an electric buggy, an electric recordauto, or difficult to put cart on tracks, and even participation in the electric Formula e. In vain, as it turns out now. The brand has just let know 17 people to dismiss and the automotive production immediately cease. The other half of the staff should just resign to the Formula e project in the right direction, but we expect that they, too, after the last race next week looking to other work. Venturi is dead, that much is clear.
