In short, we remember that the project presented at the Paris Motor Show in 2013 was not followed up because of the owner of Venturi, the Monegasque Gildo Pastor..
“It’s true that Venturi Automobiles’ projects had been dormant since that time,” explains the brand, “but today we are testing the Antarctica polar exploration electric vehicle and we are preparing the world motorcycle speed record. electric with Max Biaggi ".
The Wattman that the Roman Emperor – Monegasque resident, like Venturi and now Voxan – must pilot in the summer of 2020 on the (Bolivia) is "very largely inspired" by the 2013 proto designed by Sacha Lakic, but it was "designed for this record ", assures the spokesperson of Venturi questioned by MNC.
The news is surprising, especially a few days before, but the goal is to cross the 330 km / h barrier in the category "electric motorcycles with one driving wheel, partially faired under 300 kg". The current record (327.608 km / h) has been held since 2013 by the American Jim Hoogerhyde on an SB 220.
“I’ve always liked a challenge,” recalls Max Biaggi, “so when my friend Gildo Pastor introduced me to the world speed record project as well as the Voxan Wattman, it was obvious that I would take it. that this new stage in my career takes place under the colors of Voxan and Venturi, with whom I have already started to work. Crossing the 330 km / h barrier together with this "Made in Monaco" machine will further demonstrate the group expertise in its field ".
