You need to drive a Venturi to appreciate the real meaning of exceptional road-holding.
The reason is simple.
Firstly, there are the extrawide 9" tyres which literally grip the road. More important, perhaps, is the girder chassis that comes straight from the racing circuit.
It is combined with twin-triangle front suspension and five trailing arms at the rear.
The perfect rigidity of the full assembly provided by the chassis and the steel passenger cage, gives the driver that feeling of total security and extraordinary driving precision.

The two words which best define the Venturi 210-260 Coupe engine are flexibility and power. The V6 turbo has been developed entirely by Venturi.
Torque is absolutely astounding.
So is accelaration. Just compare the Venturi's performance (though that would be tough on the competition) to get a glimpse of what the Venturi engine builders have achieved.
With its catalytic converter, the engine retains its full power potential. Proof that respect for the environment need not reduce driving pleasure.
