#BRAVADO BANSHEE ANDROID#
Did I hear anyone ask about Bluetooth? No, there's no Bluetooth, no iPhone or Android connectivity and no built-in WiFi, just HVAC controls that look ripped straight from a 2002 Dodge Neon.

Just like the Viper it is based on, the Bravado Banshee comes equipped with air conditioning, cruise control, power locks, power windows and a CD player. Rounding off the interior is a multi-speaker premium sound system that's ready to cover that loud exhaust note. Everything from the door panels to the dashboard and the center console are now covered with carbon-fiber inlays, while the passenger's side is accented by red "Banshee" lettering and a red stripe.Īdditionally, the leather-wrapped seats are embroidered with the Banshee name and insignia, the latter also inspired by the Viper emblem. That's not half bad for a vehicle built to offer pure driving pleasure, but the folks over at Rockstar Games and West Coast Customs overhauled the cabin to give it a well-appointed look. The second-generation Dodge Viper was far from being a luxurious vehicle on the inside, as the cockpit was packed with plastic surfaces and leather was pretty much limited to the seats. My guess is Rockstar Games borrowed it from the first-gen Viper GTS. The blue metallic finish and the white stripes are a cool addition, but the combo is far from being original. The doors, the front fenders and the greenhouse area basically unchanged, with only the flared arches and the new wheels adding a bit of variety. When viewed from the side, the Banshee's Viper-inspired nature is even more obvious. The rear end, however, boasts more aggressiveness through its lower fascia and the remarkable, 1970 Camaro-like spoiler that nearly reaches the flared wheel arches. The thin lower side with its rectangular "mouth," the lack of creases and the nearly square headlamps make the Banshee look unique, but not exactly inspiring. The Viper's aggressive front end is pretty much ruined by the plain bumper. Seeing the Banshee finished as a real car doesn't really change that, although the vehicle sports a few design cues of its own.
#BRAVADO BANSHEE LICENSE#
I always thought the Bravado Banshee was a Dodge Viper->ke1404 that has been modified enough to enable Rockstar Games get away without paying any license fees for reproducing the car, which is true for just about every GTA car. The only problem is that it is listed at $170,000 Updated : If you want to drive the Bravado Banshee for real, you will be happy to know that one unit is currently on sale on eBay. Likewise, carbon inlays were used on the dashboard, door panels and center console while a multi-speaker premium sound system was installed.īut the best part about this Banshee isn't so much it's appeal it's the fact that GameStop raffled it off as part of its Epic Rewards Giveaway back in 2013. And as an added treat, the Banshee's iconic metallic-blue exterior complete with ice white racing stripe, ensuring that the sports car's video game looks translated perfectly into the real-world car.Īdditionally, the interior is also a sight to behold with the seats upholstered and embroidered with the "Banshee" name and insignia. WCC used molds for the exterior, and cut and machined piece-by-piece to recreate the high-performance look of the video game sports car->ke506. One look at the Banshee and you can surmise that it was based on a past version of the Dodge Viper->ke1404 - a 2006 model, to be precise.
