Anyone knows where are those expo's V3 beetles now/who owns them?
(it'd probably be by far the biggest possible collectors item)

Most likely to have been re-sprayed. 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
).

Forget that! What if you were actually in it before they sealed them with the 3dfx skin?
As for driving it, you aint gotta hope. You're bound to get side-swiped for sure.

If anyone fancies having a dabble with photoshop to skin your own favourite car with the a lick of the old '3dfx paintwork' then post it in. It would be nice to see.

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
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:
