Only ever seen one venturi on the road - didn't know they'd done some road going versions of their race car:

Only ONE right hand drive too, so this is super-rare

They did...the Venturi was designed to do a car which its concept was very similar to the F40...such as the GT suspensions, a rear wheel drive central engine and Biturbo engine as well from a 3 litre engine as the ferraris...everything in a small scale(the venturi was quite less powerful, and much cheaper than the ferrari).....in fact even the shape of the Venturi is very similar due to the spoilers, the wheels....the air vents.....
Yup very rare even in France or in the rest of Europe :D I saw the only ones myself at the Supercar rally last year :)

I still remember the 400 GT from the Discovery Channel and from one of the Best Motoring Superbattles with the F40. The 400 GT was pretty close to the F40, with the other cars finishing way behind these two. It's a damn fast car!

Don't know what it's like to drive, but I do know that the stats are impressive and that it looks and sounds absolutely great! Enough to love it I guess. :wink: :D

It even looks like F40 too. It's supposedly the best performing French car of all times. When 400GT came out, it was the only car with standard carbon brake disks. Ventury now makes an Elise rival interestingly named "Fetish"

were they not the first road car to have carbon brakes? Or am I going mad lol I know it says 3rd generation, but I mean the non GT version.
