Vanderhall Venice Speedster. a toy for adults

Old cars have something special. It is possible that it is their design, it is also possible that it is the sensations that they transmit when driving or that the history that they hide gives them that distinctive aura, but it is evident that they stand out against modern cars. Perhaps that is why there are those who are still inspired by them for their current creations. Although seen from another point of view, the passion for the car and the sensations is something that has always kept this invention alive in some way.

 

The car is not a simple machine, it does not matter that the manufacturers live by selling cars to the masses, the car has a whole universe around it and manufacturers like Vanderhall Motor Works keep that spirit alive. These Americans have the pleasure of driving as a premise and their products give off an overwhelming personality. They are not practical vehicles in any of their versions, nor are they especially comfortable and few people outside the motor world will understand the existence of something like that. However, any fan will find a thousand and one reasons to have something like this, just by looking at the photos.

 

vanderhall blackjack Works has four models in its catalog, all based on the same base and with only three wheels (two at the front and one at the rear): the Vanderhall Venice, which in turn has four versions; the Edison, which is made up of two finishes; the Carmel, which will go on sale in 2019 and the Vanderhall Laguna, the only one of all that can have a roof among other things. Four models whose sole purpose of existence is the pleasure of driving, the fun of its owner in its purest state. And for this, it uses a very simple formula: it is inspired by models of yesteryear although it offers current solutions in certain sections.

 

Vanderhall's latest creation is the Venice Speedster, a vehicle expressly designed to be enjoyed by one person. A single-seater version of the 'pure' Venice, which will be completed in 2020 by the Venice Speedster R, of which there is only rendering and no information. But going back to the last model presented, we have many things that will delight driving enthusiasts, such as its engine or its low weight. Thus, under the hood, there is a 1.4-liter General Motors engine assisted by a turbo, which produces 182 hp and 250 Nm of torque. It is coupled to an automatic transmission with sequential management also from General Motors with six relationships and weighs only 635 kg.

 

It is evident that the sensations are assured in a device like this, even more so when there is no available roof to cover its only occupant. Sensations that are accompanied with style, thanks to a cabin upholstered in brown leather and a three-spoke steering wheel without an airbag with a purely 'vintage' look, a seat placed at ground level, and a total absence of a servo among other things. In addition, it is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.

 

At the moment it does not seem that it will reach Europe, where the General Directorate of Traffic and the authorities see the car as a potential weapon, this type of vehicle has no place. And it's a shame, because in its local market, the United States, the price is 26,950 dollars, about 23,300 euros to change.
