Venturi V-500 is the second ARWS car built by Venturi Formula. It was used in the 2019 season. The team had undergone some staff changes, and the new blood is presented in the ambitious design of the car. The team entered a partnership with Bridgestone to supply them with tyres in 2019, alongside the existing Yamaha engine contract. There was also a change in the driver line-up, with Fredo Mestolio and Kenan Ardaoglu replacing Lucarelli and Katayama.
The V-500 has a completely new design, much more radical and ambitious than it's predecessor. Main changes include a revised and very tall airbox, as well as a completely new front wing design. The car was optimized with wet weather in mind, and has skirts beneath the surface of the car to generate extra downforce.
An updated version, the Venturi V-512, was completed in time for the Kinki Grand Prix. It contains several internal improvements, like a better cooling system and suspension. However, due to a severe flaw of the chassis' fuel consumption, the version was delayed for Morocco.
