LAND SPEED RECORDS PROGRAM

The Venturi VBB program is an on-going program which started 10 years ago. Venturi set 3 international land speed records (homologated by the FIA):

Venturi VBB-2.0 (2009) : 303 mph (487 km/h)

Venturi VBB-2.5 (2010) : 307 mph (495 km/h)

Venturi VBB-3 (2016) : 341 mph (549 km/h)

This program is carried out in partnership with OSU (Ohio State University) and enables Venturi to challenge speed records and set new benchmarks in the field of high-performance electric vehicles.

BONNEVILLE – USA : LEGENDARY MEETING-PLACE FOR FANATICAL SPEED FREAKS

Land of records since 1914, Bonneville hosts the Speedweek each summer in August, a legendary meeting for fanatical speed freaks, in extreme conditions: wind, sun, aridity, floor temperature up to 50°C (122°F).

TECHNOLOGICAL LABORATORY

Because the VBB-3 is a fantastic test bed for electric powertrains subjected to extreme conditions and environments, this new records program represents a truly strategic R&D initiative for Venturi.

The Venturi VBB program is the first opus in the Venturi Global Challenges, a series of technological and human challenges inspired by great automobile sagas.

The Venturi VBBs belong to a long tradition of record-breaking electric vehicles. Also known as the Venturi ”Jamais Contente”, it pays homage to Camille Jenatzy’s electric car, the first to have broken the legendary 100 km/h barrier.
