==In-game description==
This description is taken from the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2:
Everyone knows that the most exotic cuisine and couture comes from France, but cars too? That job is left to Venturi, a tiny company entrusted with producing the country's only supercars. Venturi has just a two-model line-up: the 400 GT, a no-compromise racer which ended up as a road car, and the Atlantique 300, a grand tourer capable of crossing continents with ease. Both cars have sleek mid-engined profiles, the 400 GT's brutally striking bodywork being crafted from a super-light Kevlar/epoxy composite, the Atlantique's from glass fibre. Both use a similar race-bred chassis layout too, with double wishbones and an anti-roll bar at the pointy end and an advanced multi-link set-up with an anti-roll bar at the rear. They also have pin-sharp power steering, though that's where any artificial driver aids end. Incredible grip is promised not only by the 400 GT's downforce-creating rear wing, but also by its 235/40 front and 295/35 rear tyres shod on 18-inch magnesium wheels. Its brakes are a bit special too, using F1-style fade-resistant carbon discs. The Atlantique isn't far behind in the stickiness stakes, rolling on 205/50 front and 255/40 rear rubber on 17-inch alloys. Stopping is provided by ventilated steel discs. The 400 GT boasts a twin-turbocharged three-litre 24-valve V6 pumping out 408 BHP at 5,400 rpm. The Atlantique also uses a three-litre 24-valve V6 powerplant with a pair of blowers bolted on top, this time producing 302 BHP at 6,200 rpm. Five-speed manual are standard in both. Acceleration leads to a risk of neck injuries in either Venturis, the 400 GT screaming from 0-62 mph in 4.7 seconds before hitting a 186 mph top speed and the Atlantique not far behind with figures of 4.9 seconds and 171 mph. France's only supercars will always remain exotic, rare and exclusive - in part because nobody's ever heard of them. Even so, everyone should want one.
==Acquisition==
===GT2===
This car can be purchased at the Venturi dealership for 104,150 Credits.
==Trivia==
*Although this car has an MR drivetrain, a carbon driveshaft can be purchased in the Venturi Tune Shop. This is an oversight by the developers.
*The description states that the Atlantique 300 makes 302 BHP with twin-turbos, however the in-game performance is closer to that of Peugeot's naturally-aspirated V6s.
