The Venturi 400 GT Trophy produced in 1994 was one of 73 cars built to racing specification. Notably, one of the ten was later converted back to street operation. After nearly 30 years since its birth, it was officially auctioned in Europe.
Designed on the basis of the Venturi 160 series, the Venturi GT 400 Trophy uses a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine that produces 402 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. This parameter is even higher than the famous Ferrari F355 at that time and is up to 500 pounds lighter.
This Venturi GT 400 can hit 62 km/h in 4.7 seconds and can reach a top speed of 181 km/h, with the first carbon ceramic brakes on the market to keep it under control. . This is an extremely impressive technical specification for cars produced in the early 90s of the 20th century.
This Venturi GT 400 has the same exterior design as the expensive McLaren P1 LM of the same age, the Trophy version is even more demanding. That is the comparison that Mr. Hervé Poulain, patron of BMW’s famous art car program, drew it with a unique striped pattern to compare it with competitors with the same design.
If you are too familiar with the interiors of modern supercars, then when looking back at the interior of this Venturi 400 GT, perhaps many people will not help but feel ‘disappointed’.
The Venturi GT 400 Trophy has been preserved quite well for nearly 30 years. Last February, this unique supercar launched in the early 90s was auctioned in Europe, a tycoon bought this classic car to enrich his car collection. for an undisclosed price.
