The Venturi 400 GT Trophy, manufactured in 1994, is one of only 73 cars created to meet race specifications. It is worth noting that one out of the ten produced was later converted for regular street use. After nearly 30 years since its inception, this unique vehicle was officially put up for auction in Europe.
The Venturi 400 GT Trophy supercar was introduced in 1994.
The front and rear ends of this car are considered revolutionary in terms of design during the early 90s.

Based on the Venturi 160 series, the Venturi GT 400 Trophy is equipped with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine that delivers an impressive 402 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. This exceeds the performance of the famous Ferrari F355 from the same era and also manages to be 500 pounds lighter.
The car possesses an overall sleek and captivating design.
The Venturi GT 400 can accelerate from 0 to 62 km/h in just 4.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 181 km/h, thanks to the innovative carbon-ceramic braking system that ensures optimal control. These extraordinary specifications were truly exceptional during the early 90s.
The engine is cleverly housed within the car’s structure.
The Venturi GT 400 boasts a design that can rival the likes of the prestigious McLaren P1 LM from the same generation, with the Trophy version being even more demanding. Hervé Poulain, the sponsor of BMW’s renowned art car program, famously compared it to its counterpart, adorning it with unique stripe patterns.
