<\/div><\/figure>\n<p>A limited-edition 400 GTR was built for racing homologation requirements and later used in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Venturi was also briefly involved with the Larrousse Formula One team. The team&#8217;s 1992 car, which bore the Venturi name, was designed and built by Venturi Larousse UK, a British company formerly known as Fomet 1, which had previously designed the 1991 Fondmetal Formula One cars. The 400 GT remains one of the best performing French cars ever produced, and it is in fact the very first car in the world to have standard carbon brakes. True to that claim, the Atlantique 400 GT with a 408 PS (300 kW; 402 hp) V6 3.0 24v DOHC twin-turbo delivered excellent performance to put it on par with Ferraris of the early 90s. The 400 GT could hit 100 km\/h (62 mph) in 4.7 seconds and 291 km\/h (181 mph) top speed, while the Atlantique 300 biturbo with a 314 PS (231 kW) V6 did 4.9 seconds to 100 km\/h (62 mph) and went all the way to 171 mph (275 km\/h).<\/p>\n<h3>In Detail<\/h3>\n<table class=\"cardetails\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">submitted by<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">anonymous<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">type<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Series Production Car<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">production years<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">1987 &#8211; 1995<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">built at<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">France<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">price $<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">$ 89,995<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"boldlabel\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">engine<\/td>\n<td class=\"boldvalue\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">V6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">position<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Mid Engine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">aspiration<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Natural<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">valvetrain<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">DOHC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">fuel feed<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Injection<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">displacement<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">2851 cc \/ 174 in\u00b3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">power<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">193.89999 kw \/ 260 bhp<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">specific output<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">91.2 bhp per litre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">torque<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">431.20001 nm \/ 318 ft lbs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">redline<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">7800<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"boldlabel\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">body \/ frame<\/td>\n<td class=\"boldvalue\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Glassfibre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">driven wheels<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">RWD<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">f suspension<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Double Wishbone<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">r suspension<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Multilink<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">transmission<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">5 Speed Manual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"boldlabel\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">top speed<\/td>\n<td class=\"boldvalue\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">~270.31 kph \/ 168 mph<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">0 &#8211; 60 mph<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">~5.3 seconds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1987\u21921995 Venturi 260 The first Venturi came out in 1984, created by Claude Poiraud and G\u00e9rard Godfroy, two former engineers at Heuliez.
