Venturi, a French manufacturer best known for building ludicrous designer vehicles, has revealed an electric buggy at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.

This two-seater model, which is destined only for the American market, has a ground clearance of 280mm and an electric motor producing 295kW and 480Nm of torque.

Venturi claims a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4,5 seconds and a top-speed of 220km/h. It promises to have a range of around 250km.

Production is set to begin next year, but only 25 of these buggies will ever be built.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
