RushCars24ID ◊ 2020-05-01 15:58	Well, well, well, I wasn't expect to see this wild thing appearing as a "cameo guest appearance" in this series. My little backstory; many players may have already know the Banshee is one of the longest-running sports cars in the Grand Theft Auto series (alongside the Infernus) since its first inception in Grand Theft Auto III (2001), and myself is included actually. I remember on first encountering this thing in III's opening robbery and prisoner transport ambush scenes, and even got a chance to drive it (remember the one parked inside the Capital Autos dealership in Hardwood, Portland Island?) during my brief progress on the first half of the Portland Island mission string (yes, I never completed the entire storyline at all). I also did drove one again in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004), back when I got my chance to play that game. Versions featured in Grand Theft Auto IV (2008) and Grand Theft Auto V (2013), often referred as the HD Universe, is manufactured by Bravado, GTA's lore counterpart to Dodge. The real-life representation car is based on the HD Universe version, and it was modified by West Coast Customs (yup, that same custom shop from the first four seasons of Pimp My Ride, and Street Customs/Inside West Coast Customs). I might assuming that it is probably the one-and-only Grand Theft Auto vehicle to be re-created IRL. I've found one walk-around video on YouTube if anyone interested more than photos. Here's an entire history statement by the GTA Wiki: GTA Wiki wrote A one-of-a-kind real life reproduction of the Banshee has been made by West Coast Customs, by modifying a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10. It was given away by Rockstar Games in a GameStop PowerUp Rewards Epic Rewards Giveaway contest. It began on September 1, 2013, sixteen days before the release of Grand Theft Auto V. On September 30, 2013, the contest ended and the winner was 56-year-old Cheri Parker from North Carolina. She later sold the car on eBay in 2014 to pay for her sons' college fees and because the unique Banshee parts were difficult to reproduce if they broke. The only thing that has changed from the original Dodge Viper is how the car looks; it is still essentially a stock Viper, which means it would have a V10 instead of a V8. The Banshee features handcrafted and stitched interior to capture the look and feel of its detailed cockpit, with seats upholstered and embroidered with the Banshee name and insignia. The dashboard, door panels and center console were reconfigured and finished with carbon inlays. Also a multi-speaker premium sound system was installed before giving it the iconic metallic blue exterior complete with ice white racing stripe. Statement from R* themselves: Rockstar Games wrote Significant work went into creating this real world version of the 2013 model featured in Grand Theft Auto V. Utilizing state-of-the-art fabrication technologies, molds for the exterior were cut and machined piece-by-piece for the high performance base vehicle. With these molds each panel was laid out by hand to create an entirely new exterior resulting in a screen accurate reproduction of the Banshee. GTA Wiki's callout to this Better Call Saul cameo: GTA Wiki wrote The Banshee can briefly be spotted in season 5, episode 8 (titled Bagman) of the show Better Call Saul, appearing near the beginning of the episode during the garage scene, on the right side of the frame alongside other sporty and classic cars. The scene was shot at Flat 12 Gallery, a Dallas, Texas-based collector car dealer where the car had coincidentally been sold to in December 2018, following several changes in ownership after the initial 2014 auction. -- Last edit: 2026-01-18 10:38:09
