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  Grin).

Forget that! What if you were actually in it before they sealed them with the 3dfx skin?  Lips Sealed

As for driving it, you aint gotta hope.  You're bound to get side-swiped for sure.  Wink

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.  Smiley

yeah looks quite okay, an Ariel Atom would of been cooler Smiley 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 Smiley it beats an Enzo with ease Smiley 0-60mph in 2.9 secs Smiley and that for a car of abut 20.000 Euro's not bad.

here more info about it:
