Frequently asked questions

The kits are engineered and crated for efficient shipping. We will provide detailed logistics support, but as the distributor, you will typically be responsible for the final cost and management of freight, duties, and customs clearance into your operating country. This cost should be factored into your local pricing structure.

No. Our model is a strategic B2B partnership. We are not selling a business operation or franchise rights; we are providing you with an exclusive, market-differentiating product line (the V8stealthbeetle kit) and the official accreditation to assemble and sell it. You retain full control over your existing business operations.

We operate on a Tiered Wholesale Discount Structure designed to reward volume and commitment. The more kits you commit to, the higher your profit margin:

Tier Level Annual Kit Volume Discount Incentive
Silver Tier 3-5 Kits Y% Discount
Gold Tier 6+ Kits Z% Discount

(Exact percentages will be detailed in the Sales Presentation after qualification.)

The fee is a single investment that provides you with everything needed to launch your partnership, including:

  • Administrative, legal, and contract setup costs.
  • Access to our technical documents, manuals, videos and IP.
  • Your initial digital marketing kit (high-res assets, brand guide).
  • The cost of travel, accommodation, and time for Jean (Engineering) and Doug (Marketing) to visit your facility and complete the official Certification and accreditation.

We are looking for established businesses with proven expertise, including:

  • Established Automotive Shops: Restoration shops or custom car builders.
  • Technical Expertise: Experience in chassis work, engine swaps (e.g., LS swaps), and high-quality fabrication.
  • Facility: Adequate workshop space and professional tools to handle high-end kit and vehicle assembly.
  • Customer Base: A clientele with the means and interest in purchasing a premium, high-performance one of a kind V8stealthbeetle.

Certified Master Builders, purchase Component Packages from us at discounted rates and then​

build turnkey vehicles for their customers. This offers several revenue streams and is the most profitable option as a partner.​

Authorized Component Package Dealers, also buy at the same discount and then mark up the kits and sell them to passionate individuals who want to build their own V8stealthbeetle.​

Partnering with 3L Engineering and Design allows you to significantly grow your business by:

  • High Profitability: Generating healthy margins on the kits and additional revenue from the assembly, paint, and customisation services you provide.
  • Market Differentiation: Offering a unique, proven product (the V8stealthbeetle) that your competitors cannot match. We are the ONLY company on the planet who have successfully produced a production mid engined V8 Beetle.
  • NO R&D: Leveraging Jean’s world-class engineering and design, and his 10 years of development eliminates your need for expensive research and development.

The process is designed to ensure quality and commitment:​

  1. Application: Complete the comprehensive application form on our website.​
  2. Qualification: We review your business model, facilities, and experience to ensure you meet our Ideal Distributor Profile. You receive partnership information and a cost calculator to do your financial due diligence. We also connect online to answer questions and confirm a good partner fit.​
  3. Onboarding & Fee: Sign the partnership agreement and pay the Initial Accreditation Fee (which covers your training, collateral, IP and final certification).​
  4. Certification: Order and assemble your first kit. We will travel to your workshop for the final inspection and official sign-off and Certification.​

This is the cornerstone of our brand quality. The in-person visit allows Jean to:

  • Verify the build quality of your first assembly.
  • Provide on-site technical coaching and knowledge transfer.
  • Ensure your facility and processes align with the V8stealthbeetle’s high standards.
  • This certification grants you the official right to market yourself as an Accredited V8stealthbeetle Assembler and Distributor

Yes. You will receive an Onboarding Kit with high-resolution photos, videos, and a brand guide. Additionally, Doug, our Marketing Director, will film the certification of your first build to create a “Distributor Spotlight” video for our global social channels, which you can use for your own local marketing to generate social proof and leads. Leads captured by our international marketing will be passed onto the relevant Distributor.
