French manufacturer Voxan was purchased by Monegasque company, Venturi Motors, in 2010. It released the original Voxan Wattman in 2013, which boasted 203hp and 200Nm.
The new high-performance version of the Wattman has been entirely developed in Monaco in collaboration with Venturi North America and the Centre for Automotive Research at Ohio State University.
On-track testing of the motorcycle originally commenced in March, but the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the programme being halted. Now that restrictions have been lifted in Monaco, the testing programmed has been ramped up.
