Yes I know this topic name has probably gotten people riled up

But no I'm not talking about THAT fetish. I'm talking about the Venturi Fetish. IMO that's the worst (but interesting) name for a car ever.

Main Site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_Fetish

It actually looks pretty cool, it's pretty fast and by French manufacturers (figures :razz. But it's expensive as hell. Be cool to have a racing series with these It's a shame they never mass marketed these things

looks nice , bet its pronounced differant to the spelling

Quote from LFSn00b :

Looks kinda nice, only that is bad is the name

and the price! €297,000

The car looks shit!
Seriously, I don`t find anything nice with that car, I even hated the colors as much as I hated the actual car.

:hide:

Ugly car, looks like some Opel

That's ugly enough to be a Ssangyong roadster

Only thing about Electric cars is that there is no Engine sounds... maybe they will let you 'plug in' your own sounds!, V8, V10, V16

looks as though the French have been trying to copy the Bugatti.

Quote from JTbo :

Nah I think it looks nicer then opels. I like the futuristic look but I do realize that many dont. (I'm a sci-fi freak that's y )

Quote from Hankstar :

You must be blind, it looks much different then a Ssangyong. The Ssangyong cars are so much more clumsy looking then the fetish

I also like the Fetish over the Tesla Roadster (although a Tesla is more affordable)

As for engine sounds. I prefer the hiss to an electric car to the giant artillery to the combustion engine. I dont know about you but I'd like to keep my ears INTACT please When you think about it, it's actually kinda cool to see the smooth futuristic electric car hiss pass the roaring monster GT cars

Guess you have to have a fetish for The Fetish

Rofl
Maaaaybe, who knows?

They should have called it the Ace Venturi, then it practically sells itself. (to people who like Ace Ventura and have more money than sense, about 3 people I think, myself not included since I have more sense than money)

well the TDi engine in the R10 Is both, its like Hissing and Banging... wow what a great sound.

I think some people here have never been at a racetrack.

How could you prefer the sound of a electric or a diesel engine over an good old fashioned petrol engine

Ever heard a F1 car screaming from miles away ?
Ever heard the noise of a Mercedes E190 Evo II engine at a hillclimb with short gearing ?

sounds like a cosworth engine.

Quote from Mikkel Petersen :

sounds like a cosworth engine.

None of the cars has a Cosworth engine

The engine in the Merc is the the 2.5 litre, 4 cylinder, 16 valve DTM engine.
The BMW runs a Judd 3,4 litre V8 engine...

But how could I forget the sound of the Audi S1
