Venturi
Venturi is a car manufacturer based in Monaco. MVS (Manufacture de Voitures de Sport) was founded in 1984 by French engineers Claude Poiraud and Gérard Godfroy with the goal of competing in the "Grand Tourisme" sector. Following in the footsteps of Facel Vega, Monica, and Ligier, this was only the most recent post-war attempt to construct a sporty luxury automobile in France. Venturi, like its predecessors, was instantly confronted with several problems, ranging from an obscure name to its undercapitalized and understaffed status.
Venturi, one of the most upscale French automobile manufactures, is well-known for the premium electric vehicles it offers. Unlike its rivals, Renault and Peugeot, this brand is very new, having been created in the early 1980s. Venturi built two renowned models that drew international notice in order to make a vow to produce entirely electric vehicles: the Fetish and Eclectic.
The latter drew media attention due to its unusual design and status as the world's first solar-electric vehicle. The Fetish, a completely electric sports vehicle, boasts a 340 km range and a top speed of 110 miles per hour. Prices are a little high - a measly $400 000 since this model is only produced in 5 pieces every year.
