Overview
The Banshee is Vice City’s all-American sports car — inspired by the Dodge Viper, it’s raw, loud, and brutally fast. Where European supercars (Cheetah, Infernus) are about precision engineering, the Banshee is about horsepower and attitude.
The Banshee has been a GTA staple since the original game. Its long hood, side pipes, and aggressive stance make it one of the most recognizable American performance cars in the GTA universe.
Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection
The Banshee is confirmed for GTA 6 — appearing in official screenshots and trailers. The GTA 6 version appears to be a modern interpretation of the Dodge Viper, with updated styling but the same aggressive character.
From 1986 Vice City to 2026 Leonida, the Banshee has spanned 40 years of GTA history. It’s one of the few vehicles that connects both eras directly.
Trivia
- Based on the Dodge Viper, which debuted in 1992 (though the Banshee appeared in GTA before the Viper existed).
