The Atlantique is a "no holds-barred" Venturi with weight trimmed by 100 kg to boost performance. Everything has been modified: from the smallest bolt to the shock absorbers, sheet metal has been replaced by aluminium, the anti-roll bar has been hollowed, and wood has made way for Kevlar carbon.
The chassis has been lightened right down to the actual pedals which are drilled aluminium racing units ; the bucket seats are by Recaro; and the new interior lining is made in Loricar, combining flexibility,lightness and elegance. Every single detail and material has been modified for a single purpose : performance. Its distinguishing features? Its metallized blue body, its grey diamond-finished wheels and the interior which combines cameo grey with blue highlights in perfect harmony.

The two words which best define the Venturi Atlantique 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.
