Overview
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.[3][6] First sold in the year 2004, a new version of the car was launched in 2010. It is not a mass-produced vehicle.[7] Only 25 units have been produced.[2][1] The production of this electric sports car was stopped in the year 2007.[1][additional citation(s) needed]
Technical specifications
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] Venturi claimed that the Fétish could accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, and that it was restricted to a top speed of 106 mph (171 km/h).[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.[8]
