I doubt anyone who had the cars in their possession at the time would still want to drive them around with the 3dfx promo material on them (although there are a few on this forum would love to given half the chance ).

yeah looks quite okay, an Ariel Atom would of been cooler

it weighs just 500 kilo's and has 300bhp, that's equivallant to 600 bhp per ton :|, that in V56K colours Cheesy

here are some nice pic's of it:

Try that in the V56K colours

it beats an Enzo with ease

0-60mph in 2.9 secs

and that for a car of abut 20.000 Euro's not bad.

here more info about it:
