At the 1994 Paris Motor Show, the small French automaker Venturi showed the 300 Atlantique, an extensive model update of the previously offered 260 Atlantique. Only at the beginning of the same year, the Scotsman Hubert O’Neill had taken over the brand and commissioned this facelift directly from G\u00e9rard Godfroy. Within just six months, numerous rounded edges helped to give the mid-engine coup\u00e9 a more modern appearance. At the front, the pop-up headlights were retained, while the rear showed the taillights of the Ford Sierra. At the sides behind the doors, small air intakes provided more fresh air in the engine compartment. Venturi also used newly designed seven-spoke rims. The interior was given a homely feel with wood trim and leather upholstery. White-backed VDO circular instruments displayed not only the speed and rpm but also the tank capacity, engine temperature, oil pressure and oil temperature, and (if fitted) the boost pressure of the turbo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With or without turbocharger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As in all the brand’s models, the 300 Atlantique was powered by the three-liter PRV V6 engine. PRV stands for the three companies involved in the development of this engine, Peugeot, Renault and Volvo, in whose model series this V6 was used for a long time. In the Venturi, it produced 154 kW\/210 hp without turbocharger and 207 kW\/281 hp with turbocharger. The turbocharged PRV engine came from the Alpine A610<\/a><\/strong>. From 1998 on there was the 300 Atlantique Biturbo with 228 kW\/310 hp. This received the newer L7X V6 engine from Renault. With the help of its 394 Nm of torque and the five-speed manual transmission, the 300 Atlantique Biturbo accelerated to 62 mph (100 kph) in 4.7 seconds. Venturi gave a topspeed of 171 mph. With this power, the car was able to place itself well in the field of competitors and even won some comparison tests in car magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n
