Zero Emission Vehicles of Venturi Fetish


The Venturi Fetish prepared its U.S. debut earlier this year in Los Angeles and then followed suit in Monaco, showings that followed an emergence in Paris.

It was eye-opening even by car-crazed California standards, with a shiny body drawn by French designer Sasha Lakic and engineering handled by Gerard Decalogue of Lotus Formula 1 prominence.

It is assembled in California, where this elegant carbon fiber body shell is wrapped approximately a carbon aluminum honeycomb monologue frame, creating a 2,424 pound sports car that’s as aesthetically pleasing as any of the high-end exotics plying the roads of Hollywood or Beverly Hills.

A 300 horsepower, 14,000 rpm AC impulsion electric motor propels the rear-drive Fetish from 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds, achieving a top speed above 100 mpg.

A T-shaped battery pack incorporating 770 pounds of lithium-ion batteries provides the power, a configuration related to that of the nickel-metal-hydride battery design in GM’s EV1 electric car. This 58 kilowatt-hour Li-Ion pack supposedly allows the car a single-charge driving variety of 200 miles.

Regenerative braking recaptures power during deceleration or braking and feeds electricity back to the batteries. Unlike most electric cars, the amount of restoration is driver-adjustable at the dash.
