yellow: yes
mvs: yes ("Manufacture de Voitures de Sports" - "sportscar factory")
ventura: no....venturi
atlantic: no....maybe a venturi 400 (400bhp)

i know lot more about english production than you about poor french production:blalalala:

it was a factory gentlemen driver challenge car during the 90s, great car: V6 PRV with twin turbos, 400 bhp....some were road legal.

there was also a venturi 260 spc ("sans pot catalitique"...."without cat system", v6 prv with 260 bhp to end range during the beginnning of the 90s.

it was about the same as Noble but 30 years ago...the Atlantic was the last venturi with modern spec and design, trying to save the factory from the "crisis" of the 90's.

the company is now owned by a guy from monaco, who is trying to keep the brand alive by building electric cars:gayfight:....maybe same story for graham nearn selling caterham to ali ansard....or the russian TVR team:whistle:

this is for the history of one (very) few great french car company

[Andyk]

I tried a 260 way back and loved it and that was yellow as well....a great car that was a real rival to the Lotus Esprit back them.

Loved the Atlantic but the new electric car:smt104 . Have they sold any as it's been around a few years now and very expensive as I remember.

[Mark CSL]

And a fast black CSL :smokin:

Great vid!

It's always interesting to see our normal cars on a track also used by F1 machinery. Check out the massive difference in attack, especially the chicanes. That Nurburgring Chicane is mental in an F1 car .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAkgMcgbORY

[Curly]

i'm doing bugatti, mas du clos,and val de vienne in august with LOT should be fun:thumbs:

[7.77]

good choice of tracks, the val de vienne is excellent with lot of fun...for the bugatti, if you want to learn the track, just look at my video with my old M3 E30:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH1vbYevf4E

be careful with the brakes overheating, this track is "fast and furious" for the brakes

[glendog74]

Nice spin at the end! ;)

7.77 - do you know of a guy called walter with a modded CSL?

[7.77]

Nice spin at the end! ;)

i was completly out of brakes (overheating)....last chance to stop the car was pulling the parking break lever, with no effect !!! so i decided to stop the car with the spinning of the 4 wheels....and that was he best solution:thumbs: it had just cost me 2 rear tyres (there was bubles inside them:clown:, and this was there first tackdays:banghead:)

7.77 - do you know of a guy called walter with a modded CSL?

no, there is not much csl around there, i know the orange supercharged one (there is a video of it - spa- in my youtube account "csl dmperformance), one of the owner is called Dominique......no walter

[_Nathan_]

Cheers. There is a french guy called Walter who has a modified CSL - he used to post on MTorque but haven't seen him about for ages.

ouahou:drool:
i want the same...........wheels

[_Nathan_]

I want those wheels too - magnesium so track use only but the best looking wheels on a CSL by a mile IMO.

[7.77]

[_Nathan_]

Yep, though I see that the newer aluminium E88 is lighter...
