I'm afraid I don't really see much of a comparison between the two. They're vaguely similar looks-wise and both have mid-mounted similar sized engines with twin-turbo boost, but other than that I think they're quite different. The F40 is a totally uncompromising lightweight racecar-for-the-road, whereas the Venturi is, as the name suggests, more of a GT car. They are also from different eras, the F40 actually being released in 1987, not 91. The F40 is also in a totally different league in terms of performance and all round desirability.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Venturi a lot, but whereas the Venturi is a good car the F40 is a truly great car!

the venturi is a nice car but the F40 would lay the smack down on it.

From a three liter V6? That thing must be boosted out the ass to make 400hp.

Nope

It's the same block as the Alpine A610.
The original Atlantique used similar heads - and it's 4 valves per cylinder ( where did the data saying 2 come from ? ).
The later 400s used modified heads and twin turbo to beat lag.
But the boost isn't excessive.
The engine is seemingly strong enough for 600+ and the Renault gearbox can take it !!

AS part of my engine rebuild I'm trying to track down an Itlaian tuner who is reportedly offering a Turbo upgrade and ECU mapping to take the A610 up to 500 If you're Itlalian and know who it is please get in contact immediately - I'm trying to do all this through a French intermediary
