Venturi is the maker of an all carbon fibre electric car from France. Now I know what you are saying and I dislike the french as much as the next guy but this really piqued my interest.
The electric motor makes power that is equivilent to 300 hp and 220nm of torque (whatever that works out to). Top speed of 170 Km/hr and a range of around 300km. All this and the charge only takes 3.5 hours to get to full. Not too shabby. Cool color combos too. |

As far as electric 914s - they are dozens.
At a recent drag event in Portland OR an electric car placed 2nd overall - a street legal Datsun conversion with twin DC motors did several 12.2 sec 1/4 mile runs. This car is called "White Zombie" I've been considering an electric conversion - BUT for now the used gas motor option will get my 914 out of the garage and onto the street for a fraction of the cost. Too bad the Venturi is an "art" project and not slated for larger scale production because it is a great example of the potential for zero emission vehicles that people will want to drive. |
