600 LM —
the PRV goes GT racing

In the mid-1990s, Venturi took the PRV back to the track: the 600 LM, a competition version of the Atlantique built for the BPR series and Le Mans, with an EIA-developed bi-turbo of around 600 bhp.

The 400 GT's V6, unleashed

The 600 LM pushes the logic of the road cars one step further: the 3.0-litre 24-valve PRV bi-turbo, developed by the engine house EIA, delivers around 600 bhp — one of the most extreme road-derived applications of the Douvrin V6.

The same base powers the 408 bhp Venturi 400 GT on the road — and descends from the 200 bhp ZPJ4 of the Peugeot 605 SV24.

From the Atlantique to Le Mans

The base

The 600 LM is the competition version of the Venturi Atlantique — built for the BPR GT series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The lineage

Venturi's PRV story on the road — 200, 260, 400 GT — is told in the 200 & 260 and 400 GT files.

The other track PRVs

At Le Mans, the PRV's benchmark remains the WM saga and the eternal 407 km/h record of the P88.

The road-going sister

The 400 GT, “French F40”: 408 bhp of the same 24-valve bi-turbo PRV.
