The Upgraded 'Venturi Antarctica' Can Handle Polar Summers
Rahul Kalvapalle — February 3, 2023 — Autos
The Venturi Antarctica, a high-performance polar exploration vehicle designed by the Monaco-based company Venturi, has been upgraded to meet with the renewed challenges of a warming polar region, with the latest and greatest version of the vehicle now enabling its occupants to remain comfortable amid rising temperatures.
As its name suggests, the Venturi Antarctica was created to withstand the biting cold of the Antarctic, but with relatively warm summer temperatures of -10 degrees Centigrade kicking in, tweaks were required to bring the vehicle up to speed. As a result, the 2023 version of the Venturi Antarctica is fitted with an upgraded ventilation system to cool down the interior environment, with new vents and air intakes in place.
Elsewhere, the vehicle continues to operate using two motors delivering 80 horsepower each, with a battery pack enabling it to enjoy a range of 50 km per charge.
