A rare car which sports an excellent reputation…

The Venturi 400 Trophy is a very rare French car. Only 73 of them were built, between 1992 and 1994.

With over 400 horsepower under the bonnet and a chassis designed by the engineer who also designed and developed the chassis of the Courages of Le Mans 24 Hours fame, the Venturi 400 Trophy has a fine pedigree.

As proof, the Venturi Trophy races which the car was built for found great favour with the Gentlemen Drivers.

The Venturi 400 Trophy’s fine balance, excellent road-holding properties and the power delivered by its 3-litre PRV turbo-compressor engine have always impressed those who drove it. The car quickly acquired an excellent reputation. Today, its intrinsic qualities still endear it to the lucky drivers who get a chance to drive it on a race-circuit.
