The Venturi Fétish is a two-seater electric sports car. It has been produced by Venturi in Monaco since 2006, and the design of the car was done by the Parisian designers Sacha Lakic.[1] The Fétish was first introduced in concept form at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show, and was also shown at the 2002 Paris Motor Show (where it was fitted with a Renault petrol engine) and the 2003 North American International Auto Show.[1][2] When it went into production, it was the first electrically-powered production sports car in the world.[3]

Technical specifications

The original Fétish used a 180 kW (241 hp; 245 PS) electric motor in place of the internal combustion engine fitted to most sports cars.[1] This electric motor also had a claimed maximum torque output of 162 lb·ft (22 kg·m; 220 N·m), which was delivered instantly.[1] Venturi claimed that the Fétish could accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, and that it was restricted to a top speed of 106 mph (171 km/h).[1]

For 2011, the electric motor was replaced by a 220 kW (295 hp; 299 PS) motor, and the updated Fétish was claimed to be capable of 200 km/h (124 mph) and to be able to accelerate from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in four seconds.[4]
