About the Venturi VFE05 Team Venturi #48 E. Mortara Formula E Season 5 2019 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Venturi VFE05 reproduces Edoardo Mortara's #48 Team Venturi entry from Formula E Season 5, 2019. Diecast construction and tampo-printed graphics capture the Gen2-era single-seater's bold Venturi color scheme.
Edoardo Mortara ran the #48 for Team Venturi through Formula E's Gen2 debut season, forming one half of a driver lineup alongside the more publicly recognized Felipe Massa.
How Minichamps Casts the Venturi VFE05
Team Venturi's livery leans on bold, largely solid color panels rather than dense sponsor text, and that simplicity works in the model's favor: large painted areas hold up better under close inspection than liveries packed with small logos that can blur at this scale. The zinc alloy body carries genuine weight, distinguishing it immediately from lighter promotional plastic pieces sold at a similar glance, and the casting reproduces the FE05-generation floor, sidepods, and halo cleanly. Since Formula E single-seaters have no doors or hood to open, quality is judged through livery sharpness and how well the aero details, particularly the front wing endplates and rear diffuser, are molded. Minichamps keeps that consistent across a team's full driver roster for a given season, which is why this car and its teammate entry share the same underlying build quality.
Mortara's Season Alongside Felipe Massa
Mortara has built a long career across GT racing, DTM, and Formula E, and his Season 5 stint with Team Venturi ran alongside Felipe Massa's arrival from Formula 1, giving the team a mix of established sports car pedigree and F1 star power on the same grid. Season 5 itself marked the debut of the Gen2 chassis and its larger battery, which for the first time let drivers complete a full race in a single car rather than swapping partway through. A model of the #48 documents the less publicized half of that Venturi lineup, useful for a collector who wants the complete team rather than just the headline driver.
Displayed next to the Massa car, this piece completes a full Team Venturi pairing from Formula E's landmark Gen2 season.
