Trailer 1: 1:07
The Banshee appears in the overhead WEAZEL NEWS intersection clip, among the cars near the dirt bikes and police vehicles.
Key takeaways
- Seen in both trailers: Trailer 1 at 1:07 and Trailer 2 at 2:05.
- Trailer 2 shows the front lamp details, blue hardtop body and white centre stripe more clearly than the distant first-trailer sighting.
- Only the standard Banshee has been identified. The Banshee 900R and Banshee GTS remain not yet seen.
- GTA 6 top speed, price, locations, handling and customization: At launch.
Where the Banshee Appears in GTA 6
2:05May 2025
Trailer 2: 2:05
A blue Banshee with a white centre stripe and hardtop appears in the street scene outside the Dominion Hotel.
What Changed From GTA 5
Trailer 2 gives the Banshee a much clearer introduction than Trailer 1. The front three-quarter angle shows the headlamp arrangement, amber lamps low at the front corners and more of the cabin through the windscreen.
The recognisable proportions remain: a long bonnet, a compact passenger compartment and a wide rear body. The hardtop and white centre stripe shown here belong to the vehicle in this shot. They are not a list of GTA 6 customization options.
Which Banshee Is in GTA 6?
Only the standard Banshee has been identified in official GTA 6 material. Its appearance does not establish the return of the Banshee 900R conversion or the separate Banshee GTS.
| Variant | GTA 6 status | GTA 5 / GTA Online distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Banshee | Seen in Trailer 1 at 1:07 and Trailer 2 at 2:05 | Standard Sports-class model, available with hardtop or topless body in GTA Online |
| Banshee 900R | Not yet seen in official GTA VI material | Super-class Benny’s conversion in GTA Online |
| Banshee GTS | Not yet seen in official GTA VI material | Separate Sports-class model in GTA Online |
The hardtop shown in Trailer 2 does not establish a separate topless GTA 6 version.
The Real Car Behind the Banshee
The Dodge Viper is the familiar real-life comparison for the GTA 5 Banshee, particularly the SRT-10’s long bonnet, rearward cabin and wide body. That comparison helps explain the returning design, but it does not make the GTA 6 car a licensed Dodge or establish which Viper generation its interior follows.
For a real-car performance reference, Dodge’s 2010 Viper SRT10 brochure quotes a manufacturer top-speed claim of 202 mph (325.09 km/h). This is a figure for that real Dodge, not for either the GTA 5 or GTA 6 Banshee.
| Real car | Real-life top speed | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 | 202 mph (325.09 km/h) | Dodge manufacturer claim, GTA 5 styling comparison only |
The real-life Banshee, 2013
Rockstar and West Coast Customs also brought the GTA 5 design into the real world in 2013. Their full-size Banshee recreated the game car’s bodywork, interior and blue-and-white finish.

These figures describe the GTA 5 and GTA Online Banshee. Standard tested speed means the car is fully upgraded without Hao’s Special Works, not an unmodified showroom car.
| GTA 5 / GTA Online reference | Value |
|---|---|
| GTA 5 / GTA Online class | Sports |
| GTA 5 / GTA Online seats | 2 |
| GTA 5 / GTA Online drivetrain | Rear-wheel drive |
| GTA 5 / GTA Online mass | 1,200 kg |
| GTA 5 / GTA Online dimensions, length × width × height | 4.99 × 2.04 × 1.35 m |
| GTA 5 story-mode purchase price | $90,000 at Southern San Andreas Super Autos |
| GTA Online hardtop purchase price | $105,000 reference price. Benny’s sells the hardtop, and dealership stock can vary. |
| GTA Online topless purchase price | $126,000 Legendary Motorsport reference price. Regular catalogue availability can vary. |
| GTA Online standard tested top speed | 118.50 mph (190.71 km/h) |
| GTA Online HSW tested top speed | 152.75 mph (245.83 km/h) |
| GTA Online standard test-track lap time | 1:05.131 |
| GTA Online HSW test-track lap time | 1:00.677 |
| GTA 5 game-file speed parameter, not measured top speed | 91.96 mph (148 km/h) |
The GTA 5 game-file speed parameter is not the Banshee’s measured top speed, which is why the GTA Online tested result belongs in a performance comparison.
GTA Online HSW conversions are available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC Enhanced, not PS4, Xbox One or PC Legacy. Neither their availability nor their performance carries over automatically to GTA 6.
| GTA Online variant | GTA Online purchase or conversion reference | GTA Online standard tested top speed | GTA Online HSW tested top speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banshee 900R | $565,000 conversion at Benny’s, plus the base Banshee | 130.25 mph (209.62 km/h) | Not established |
| Banshee GTS | $1,989,500 at Legendary Motorsport | 138.00 mph (222.09 km/h) | 172.50 mph (277.61 km/h) |
The Banshee GTS leads the GTA Online HSW top-speed comparison, but it is not the standard-speed leader. The Cartuccia GT reaches 139.00 mph (223.70 km/h) without HSW.
How the fastest-cars comparison works →How Fast Is the Banshee in GTA 6?
GTA 6 top speed: At launch. A trailer appearance does not provide a measured speed.
The GTA Online reference is 118.50 mph (190.71 km/h) for the fully upgraded standard Banshee, or 152.75 mph (245.83 km/h) with the separate HSW conversion. Neither figure is a GTA 6 prediction.

Banshee History: Every GTA Game
The Banshee debuted in GTA III and has appeared across the series in different designs. Its GTA Vice City and Vice City Stories appearances make the return to Vice City in GTA 6 especially fitting, without implying that each game uses the same body.
