    Congrats, I drove a standard one near Paris when they were new, very very impressive and well put together, great handling in the twisties, 230kph hands off the wheel on the autoroute. This venture really deserved to succeed but starting a sportscar company is a very risky venture.

    The Venturi is #27 or 73 cars built in 1992-1993. The cars were used in a "gentleman" race series that preceded all the Formula 1 races during those two years. The drivers of the top 10 cars were all ex pros that were backed by rich dudes that wanted to go racing without having to drive..lol. Anyway the top ten cars were always providing series racing. #27 had a good history..3rd at Monza and 2nd at Paul Ricard. Here's a photo of 44 of the 73 cars lined up at Le Mans. My car is 7th from the bottom with the french tri color flag on the roof Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Very nice photo had never seen it, FYI that shot is not taken at Le Mans but in Paris at le Trocadero right across the Seine river from the Eiffel tower.

    What a great event. To see the 75th anniversary of Ferrari so well represented was amazing. 250 GTO, 288, F49,F50 Enzo….it was sensory overload!
