Options / Historique / Observations

The Venturi 400 GT is equipped with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, delivering 400 horsepower, allowing for impressive acceleration and a top speed of over 290 km/h. This car is specially designed for competition, featuring a reinforced lightweight chassis, sport suspension tuned for racing, and optimized aerodynamics to maximize performance on the track.

Its history is as fascinating as its performance. The model you see before you has indeed had a notable sporting career. Ordered in 1992 by Hervé Poulain, renowned for his role at Artcurial and his love of Art Cars, this Venturi is the 25th 400 GT Trophy to come out of the brand’s workshops. Hervé Poulain, staying true to his passion for automotive art, entrusted the car to Jean-Yves Lacroix for a custom paint job inspired by the fragrance “Pasha de Cartier.”

Between 1993 and 1995, this Venturi shone on the circuits, notably driven by Olivier Grouillard, a former Formula 1 driver. After its last season, the car returned to Venturi to be converted into a civilian version, while retaining its distinctive paintwork as well as some details and accessories in the interior, bearing witness to its glorious past on the tracks.
