Color gets stuck to a bronze color and cannot be painted a different color. Stevie and Brucie versions feature rare paint jobs. Comes with two different hood variations. Bravado Banshee resembles a 2003-2006 Dodge Viper Coupe I still hold the Orange/ Yellow Banshee to be the best of all rare cars in the game because of the rareness and desired paint color and it's overall prowess as a sports car. Considered by many to be the best car in the game, it is the best braking car in the game and third fastest overall. This doesn't appear to have any other effect on gameplay. all expensive cars) will not have the same reaction to a Banshee. In Hossan's random encounter, the man whom Hossan and Niko chase drives a grey Banshee with a stripe of a random color.įor whatever reason, the Banshee is not recognized as a sports car by the game, as friends and dates that normally like or dislike sports cars in particular (as opposed to e.g. In the mission Meltdown, the player chases Luca through the streets of Algonquin in a Banshee which can be kept afterwards.

The standard Banshee comes in two hood types. Overall, the Banshee is one of the more fun vehicles to drive, and well suited towards high-speed applications such as on line multiplayer racing. Crash deformation is acceptable, however, due to its front-mounted engine it is much less resistant to frontal damage than rear- AWD mid-engined sports cars such as the Comet and Infernus. Braking is very good the Banshee out brakes every other vehicle in the game, and ABS is standard on all models. The suspension is firm, which often causes the Banshee to hop about on uneven streets at higher speeds.

Handling is superb, with a slight hint of over steer that complements the very torque-y engine. The Banshee is the third fastest accelerating sports car, with a top speed just shy of the Turismo and Super GT sports cars.

The Banshee can be seen with an allover paint job, or with a racing stripe down the middle the stripe comes in numerous colors. The standard Bravado logo is used on the front and rear of the car. Similar to its real-life counterpart, the Banshee bears its own logo, resembling a screaming mouth with fangs, on the side panels, steering wheel, and upholstery.

In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Bravado Banshee resembles a 2003-2006 Dodge Viper Coupe, but has a unique front end, and has taillights resembling those of the Aston Martin DB9.
