Venturi Fetish Gets Upgraded Power, Retains Weird Name

A constricted passage though which fluid flows and accelerates while the internal pressure drops and an object or action upon which unreasonably excessive attention or reverence is placed, Venturi Fetish. It's French, who knows. But, it's still a pretty slick car and it's ready to join the quickly expanding field of electric sports cars. Just as the Venturi is going into production, we're hearing news... More »

Yank Me Crank Me: Pedal-Pumping Babes' Cars Don't Start

Checking the recently-added car videos on YouTube, I found this short film of a British woman wearing really tight clothing attempting (and failing) to start what appears to be a Citro n AX (don't worry, it's safe for work). The loving closeups of her feet made it clear: my brain was being damaged by the onanic fuel of perved-out foot fetishists! Naturally, my patriotic instincts kicked in and I sought out (and found) many more such videos; after all, what does Osama bin Laden hate most about us? Why, our freedom to indulge every imaginable perversion, of course! Seems most of the "car cranking" stuff comes out of Europe (see this site), which makes sense. After all, they have more cars that won't start than anybody. But, dammit, when are we gonna get vids of scantily-clad chicks cranking Pro Mod cars that do start? – Murilee Martin More »

The Tesla's giving it new competition for the mantle of Best Electric Supercar of Ever, but is the Venturi F tish worried? Non!

We'll be there — you'll know us from the H sker D shirts amid the Fa onnable-wearing Euro press. More »

Venturi Fetish Has Intel Inside

Considering France's Venturi Fetish — the first electric supercar —- is basically a six-figure consumer electronics product, it's not hard to imagine all the chips required to manage functions like battery charging and energy storage, systems applications and communication with the home office for upgrades and related software tweaks. It's that last one that's driving a partnership of sorts between Intel and Venturi. The two companies recently announced they were pooling resources, particularly on the WiMAX wireless broadband technology incorporated into the Fetish for data communication. Intel is an industry supporter of the WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) standards, a kind of metropolitan-area version of WiFi. The companies hope to expand the use of WiMax in the Fetish to include communication with other vehicles — to buy and sell energy — or act as an energy node for utility companies. And, of course, for Dodgeball. More »
