Bravado Banshee
RumoredSports car · Trailer 2 (May 6, 2025), per press identification
The Bravado Banshee — the series' Dodge Viper stand-in since 2001 — was identified by press in GTA VI's Trailer 2, though Rockstar hasn't named it.
When Trailer 2 dropped in May 2025, automotive press combed every frame and named more than twenty apparent returning vehicles. The Bravado Banshee — the franchise’s take on the Dodge Viper — was one of the clearest matches.
Why it’s labeled Rumored
Rockstar has not confirmed any vehicle roster for GTA VI, and no name badge is legible in official footage. The Banshee identification rests on press analysis of body shape against the long-running series model. That is credible reporting, not an official fact, so this page stays Rumored. For contrast, the only cars Rockstar has named itself are edition bonuses, headlined by the ’95 Grotti Cheetah from the Ultimate Edition.
Series lore
Few nameplates say “Grand Theft Auto” like the Banshee. It has been the go-to attainable supercar since Grand Theft Auto III in 2001, showed up in the original Vice City — where one sat in a showroom window as an early-game temptation — and has been modeled on one Viper generation or another ever since. Bravado is Rockstar’s Dodge analog, so a Viper-shaped Banshee prowling modern Vice City streets is the series returning to home turf.
What is NOT confirmed
Everything beyond the sighting: performance, price, customization, and whether the car press spotted is even called Banshee in the final game. Rockstar’s confirmed vehicle-related systems — security tiers, theft tools, and the WAINK car-scanning app — are tracked with sources on the features page.
