VENTURI : A REMARKABLE BEVY OF HIGH PERFORMANCE ELECTRIC VEHICLE RECORDS
Venturi , the Monegasque manufacturer of
high-performance electric vehicles , celebrated the 4th anniversary of its world speed record . On September 19 , 2016 , the Venturi VBB-3 reached 549 km / h on the Bonneville salt lake ( Utah , USA ); a speed still unmatched in this category . A year earlier , and already in collaboration with students from Ohio State University , Venturi began its adventure of achieving world speed records . The first episode was in tandem with hydrogen . Indeed , the Venturi VBB-2 was powered by a fuel cell . The record set at the time : 487 km / h . To this day , this performance still warms the bosom of the Gildo Pastor brand . On July 1 , the Venturi Group , owner of the Voxan Motors electric motorcycle brand , presented the high-performance Wattman , a descendant of the consumer version unveiled in 2013 . The Wattman aims to become the fastest electric motorcycle in its class . It was to be at the Salar de Uyuni site in Bolivia , in June 2021 , that the six-time motorcycle world champion Max Biaggi would ride this machine made in Monaco and try to add this title to his prestigious list . But Venturi , remarkably , actually broke this record in France at the end of October 2020 .
