One of the most exciting vehicles presented at this year’s Paris Autoshow, in my view, is the Venturi Electric. Venturi is a Monaco-based company that introduced the world’s first electric sports car in 2004, the Venturi Fetish, a $500k vehicle. The Venturi Electric has a top speed of about 35 MPH and a range of at least 31 miles, depending on the sun, or wind (and it also has an option to plug-in)! I actually really like the looks of it, and it is practical for urban commuting. Only 200 will be built in an initial production sched for June 2007, and it will cost about $30,000.
