The Venturi Fetish was first shown at the 2004 Paris Motor Show and will go into production this year, but Venturi first wanted to give the Euro 300,000 electric sports car an upgraded engine. This engine is called the VM 300 and produces 300 hp (220 kW) with 380 Nm of torque while weighing just 35 kg.
The Venturi Fetish was designed by Sacha Lakic and will be entering the newly established electric premium segment with the Fisker Karma and Tesla Roadster.
The 2009 Venturi Fetish with the new VM300 engine will be presented at the upcoming 2008 Paris Motor Show this October for those who have missed it at the elite Top Marques show in Monaco last weekend.

I think a superhybrid would be awesome- 4 wheel drive supercar with 300bhp electric motor driving the front wheels and a similar power petrol motor- ie. an Evo/Impreza engine in the back... would it be possible?
Great...except the fact that it will never sound like a sportscar. And a sportscar with no symphony under the hood is like a beautiful women wearing a spacesuit...
The "electric premium segment" cars really aren't capturing my imagination. I agree with Pole_McCoy; electric sports cars will never have the appeal of their petrol-powered competitors. Sports cars are about being loud and bothersome; if these cars are inherently limited (read: silent) imitations of sports cars, why bother? Tesla, Fisker, and Venturi are being stupidly conservative in their attempts to pioneer a new (albeit old) breed of automobile. I am a big fan of electric-powered cars, but even I am not naive enough to believe they'll be able to compete in petrol-dominated markets! That's foolishness. How about some innovation?
