[edit] Sale and battery weight
I believe this car has already been offered for sale, any update on the price? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.115.227.253 (talk • contribs) 15:16, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- The car is now being offered for sale, with a retail price of 450.000 Euros, without VAT. This is stated at the Venturi website and I have already updated the article.
The battery weight is specified by Venturi with 350 kilograms, whereas the car weighs about 750 kilogramms without batteries.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.156.3.174 (talk • contribs) 11:59, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MR layout not applicable to electric cars
This page was recently added to 'Category:MR layout cars'. I removed it since I don't think MR layout is really applicable to elecric cars - AFAIK the electric motor is very light compared to combustion engines and batteries actually account for the most of the weight. -- intgr 13:12, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Battery Life
I changed "The company specifies the car with a range of 250 to 350 km (155 to 217 miles), which is perhaps the best one can get with an electric car." to "The company specifies the car with a range of 250 to 350 km (155 to 217 miles)." One can get better from an electric car as Tesla Roadster illustrates (up to 250 miles). Batteries are getting better and better, and car specifications could be changed so that a charge would last longer. 209.128.67.226 21:35, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Production car?
How can the Venturi Fetish be described as a "production car" with a deliberately limited worldwide population of only 25 units? That's more like a laboratory curiosity. —QuicksilverT @ 19:00, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] full power vs full torque available at all speeds
The article mentions that "the full 245 bhp is available at all speeds". As horsepower is a function of torque and rpm, this is incorrect. It is true, however, that full torque is available at all speeds (this is true of most electric motors).
