alex3 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/arti...do-banshee.html Update: http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/arti...bravado-ba.html Ever since , the Bravado Banshee has been a symbol of the ultimate American sports car. With its aggressive, oversized styling and powerful engine, it became a mainstay as one of the most sought after high-performance rides from coast to coast - from Liberty City all the way to Los Santos... 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. Referencing the model and textures of the in-game car, the interior was handcrafted and stitched 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. And finally, a multi-speaker premium sound system was installed before giving it the iconic metallic blue exterior complete with ice white racing stripe. The result is a one-of-kind supercar worthy of representing the Banshee's heritage and a tribute to some of the deep customization options you'll find in the Los Santos Customs shops of GTA V, where you can equip and style your vehicles with a wide range of visual and performance-based enhancements. This month, GameStop is offering the chance to win this one-of-a-kind vehicle as part of the PowerUp Rewards™ Epic Rewards Giveaway™.

AZAZEL Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 That's awesome. I'm assuming it's an actual car, and not a die-cast model? If so, it has to be based on the current Viper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northeern Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Not a real car. Look at the featured tags. GTA and GTA V Edit: Sorry, came to the conclusions a bit too fast.

D4 Damager Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Well this is certainly a new form of marketing. I'm personally wondering if they're going to give this out to somebody as a prize -- like the MLB 2K do to the person who pitches the first perfect game under certain conditions -- or if it will just be a vehicle which will be available for purchase. On an off-topic not I always thought that the West Coast Customs boss was a twat but I don't suspect he cares as he's rich as hell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
