Cool Car Award -- Venturi 400GT!

The Venturi 400 GT was an amazing car, and still is even today.  Why?  Because it was simply a race car in road-legal form.  It was derived from the 1993 400 Trophy, which was truly a beast in the form of a car.  When Venturi decided to make a road-legal version of the 400 Trophy, they were deciding to make one of the greatest cars ever.
          The Venturi had a V6 that was developed by Renault, which fact alone should make it respectable.  When you realize, however, that it was not only Renault, but also Peugeot and Volvo who helped develop the engine, it should make you want to run away.  But of course you wouldn't be able to.  The 400GT could do the 0-60mph run in a mere 4.7 seconds and go on to a top speed of 181mph, which rivals the Ferrari's of the day.  The 400GT was also the first production car ever to come with standard carbon brakes, which were still a novelty under construction back then.
          To this day, the Venturi 400GT is still the highest-performance French production car (unless you count the Bugatti as a French brand), which is really saying something, considering what the French are known for (i.e. hot hatches).  Wait, what?  Oh, never mind.  If you want the full performance specifications, then you should look at the chart below.
