CRAZYGTASAINT Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) Top Gear has taken notice of the Banshee being made by WCC and have made a summary "The videogame community has long been regarded as the base for mankind's problems - everything from the global economic crisis to things that predate even Mario. Like the Black Death (yeah, go figure). Every once in a while though, they inspire greatness. Like this. Ladies and gentlemen of the web, may we present to you a real-life, actual, moving-parts ‘Bravado Banshee' from Grand Theft Auto. Yes, it's the Viper-inspired sportscar that millions of gamers across the globe will have crashed into a building during an ill-fated getaway run. It's been built by West Coast Customs (they of the ‘yo dawg' fraternity) to celebrate the highly anticipated upcoming launch of Grand Theft Auto V, and is a complete one-off showpiece. We're told ‘state of the art' fabrication techniques were used to create moulds for the exterior panels, which were cut and machined piece-by-piece, laid out by hand and bolted together to faithfully recreate its digital source. The interior was also handcrafted and stitched, with ‘Banshee' embroidery on the seats, while the dash, door panels and centre console were finished with carbon inlays. And this being West Coast Customs, there's also a ‘multi-speaker' premium sound system. The whole thing was then finished in the metallic blue with white stripe seen in the game. There's no word on its running gear, but seeing as the Banshee most closely matches the Viper, TG.com is secretly hoping the new 8.4-litre V10 from the current gen and its 640bhp has found a home underneath. Though this is quite unlikely, plus there's a ‘twin-turbo' badge on the front wing, so it's probably an earlier gen SRT with many, many horses, RWD and the propensity to chuckle derisively at your enthusiastic corner entry speeds... Gamestop is even giving the Banshee away as promotion for GTA V, so you could be in with a shout of winning it. You have to admit, this is quite cool..."

Gdog Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 They have to give the Banshee to The Stig to take around their test track. I don't watch Top Gear much but I'd watch it for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red XIII Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I doubt Top Gear will get to test it, seeing as there is only 1 of them being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THUNDER-TRUMP Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) And now we hand the Banshee over to our tame racing driver. Some say that he once killed, smuggled and sold people. and that all he had to do was follow the damn train. All we know is he's called THE STIG Edited September 8, 2013 by manntheftauto Doctor_Baconator, Skyline_Mad, Snoochie_Boochies and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranklinDeRoosevelt Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 And now we hand the Banshee over to our tame racing driver. Some say he once helped Love Fist to diffuse a bomb. and that all he had to do was follow the damn train. All we know is he's called THE STIG + 1 I'm visualizing Jeremy saying this.

Durden Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I hope I don't win the car. It would ruin my life in one way or another. 1.) I drive it around wherever I go, showing it off, but taking great care of it. Eventually someone steals it from me (oh the irony!) and I become depressed the rest of my life and maybe commit suicide as a result. 2. I take amazing care of it, treating it like my own body. I never drive it anywhere, and just store it in my garage my whole life, only touching it to wax it. The car would be wasted just sitting there, never being used. Honestly, as much as I'd love to drive this car around, the risk is too huge. I'd end up hoarding it, making it going to waste. I think the best option would be to sell it on Ebay for at least a million dollars, but I fear I may get too attached to it if I won it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
