Gallery label
The Venus Sports Car is a show car. Show cars are used by independent design studios to attract commissions from car manufacturers. As these cars are built only for display at motor shows, they usually do not run. Venus has a Lotus engine but cannot be driven. What is important is the styling, which is calculatedly forward-looking.(29.10.08)
