The Venturi Fétish was an early-2000s two-seat limited-production electric sports car.
[5] Before its electric version, a petrol version of the same vehicle (fitted with a Renault petrol engine) was introduced in concept form at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show, and was also shown at the 2002 Paris Motor Show and the 2003 North American International Auto Show.
[1][additional citation(s) needed] The original electric Fétish used a 180 kW (241 hp; 245 PS) electric motor in place of the internal combustion engine fitted to most sports cars.
[3] This electric motor reportedly had a maximum torque output of 220 N⋅m (162 lb⋅ft), which could be applied nearly instantaneously.
[3] For 2011, the 180 kW motor was replaced by a 220 kW (295 hp; 299 PS) motor, and the updated Fétish was claimed to be capable of 200 km/h (124 mph) and to be able to accelerate from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in four seconds.
