Banshee 900R

"The Banshee defines the modern sports class. Light, low, with sweeping curves and perfect lines, the only thing under its mile-long hood is a feral V8 twin-turbo fighting for space with its driver's colossal manhood. But trust us, the base model is just the start. When we're done, it'll look like your Banshee ate another Banshee at the peak of an all-night steroid binge. Eligible for customization at Benny's Original Motor Works."

- Benny's Original Motor Works description.

The Bravado Banshee 900R is a wide-body variant of the Banshee, featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the January 2016 Update.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The vehicle is essentially a wide-body variant of the Banshee, which has had some major changes from the original model, with the most notable changes being in the rear quarter of the vehicle. The front of the car hasn't had too many alterations, but the front arches are wider and therefore, the belt-line curves around the front of the bodywork to create a distinctive bulky appearance. The back of the front arches have been removed so the wheels are exposed.

The sides of the car have been altered slightly, where the side-intakes have been extended to curve right up the rear wheel arches. A new skirt set has been added, which fold over the bodywork at the rear, in front of the rear wheel arches. The door handles have been removed.

On the rear fascia, the entire rear bumper has been changed. A different diffuser has been added, which extends its blades further on the left and right sides, more so than the center blades. The rear corners have body kit extensions, which are bolted on top of the original bodywork. The top of the rear wheel arches are extended, known as flared wheel arches, or "spats". The exhausts are rear mounted and are twin-exit, twin exhausts by default, enclosed in carbon fiber plating. It only exits at one side of the car, despite two encasement being present (likely to make way for dual exhaust options). Furthermore, the exhaust tips connect to a large silencer, but lacks an actual exhaust pipe.

The Banshee 900R can have a vast array of modification to alter these new changes, from body work to engine block modifications, at Benny's Original Motor Works. Just like the Sultan RS, can have its brace strut altered and modified. The color, material, shape and finish can all be altered. This stops the camber of the body increasing during hard-cornering which is caused by the suspension pushing into the bodywork.

The vehicle has access to primary and secondary colors in the same manner as the normal Banshee, which is a full primary color with a wide secondary-colored stripe running along the car's lenght and the interior stitching, as well as an interior color that paints the seats and a dial color. Its stock rims are a smaller, bolted-on variation of the Banshee' stock rims. The default color of the vehicle is a Metallic Blue with a Bright Blue pearlescent color, with gold-colored rims, dark red leather seats and white dials, shared with the Sultan RS added in the same update.

Its overall performance has been altered rather dramatically, including a conversion into the Supers class rather than Sports. Both acceleration and top speed have been increased. However, care should be taken at tight corners, as the vehicle is likely to oversteer and spin out due to overwhelming torque at low speeds.

What makes the car such an influential vehicle compared to super cars is the way it behaves when modified. In stock form, the vehicle's performance is not nearly as dominant as when fully upgraded, massively down to the extreme multipliers the EMS Engine upgrades have in comparison to other vehicles in the game, progressing the car from a relatively slow top speed to one of the highest in the game. On the downside, the vehicle has a rather strong amount of drag.

The Banshee 900R's statistical stock top speed is 107 mph / 172.2 km/h. This gives the vehicle, in stock condition, a relatively sluggish top speed which is more comparable to some of the cars in the Sports category, however, when fully upgraded, the vehicle dominates most super cars, however the vehicle's acceleration prevents the vehicle from reaching this speed easily, allowing several super cars, particularly the Visione with its rapid acceleration and the electric instant-acceleration given by the Cyclone to outdo the Banshee 900R.
 * EMS Engine Upgrade 1 produces 111 mph / 178.6 km/h.
 * EMS Engine Upgrade 2 produces 115 mph / 185.1 km/h.
 * EMS Engine Upgrade 3 produces 119 mph / 191.5 km/h.
 * EMS Engine Upgrade 4 produces 124 mph / 199.6 km/h.

The engine is the same as the standard Banshee, being a carbureted V8 with single cams, which is unusual for modern sports cars. It retains the 5-speed gearbox and the FR layout, along with the sporty engine sound also used on the regular Banshee,

GTA Online: Import/Export
3 heavily modified variants of the Banshee 900R may appear in Vehicle Cargo source missions. Each variant has a unique license plate number, colour combination and different set of bodywork modifications.

Steal Vehicle Cargo - Race Bet
In Grand Theft Auto Online, Banshee 900Rs and Sultan RS' spawn after the "Race Bet" Steal Vehicle Cargo mission. These custom cars will tail the player after they steal the vehicle. They spawn in these specific colors with these specific modifications. The cars will spawn in pairs. Whether they spawn with extras (the roof and the seat bars for the Banshee 900R) is completely random. There is two variations of each car.
 * They do not have bullet-proof tyres.
 * They do not have any custom modifications on the interior.
 * They do not have any engine, armor, brakes, suspension or transmission upgrades.

Grand Theft Auto Online

 * The Banshee 900R can only be obtained by upgrading a stock Banshee at Benny's Original Motor Works for $565,000. The player simply needs to purchase a standard Banshee, take it to Benny's garage and purchase the "Upgrade" option. Unlike the Sultan, the Banshee cannot be upgraded if it is stolen from traffic as it is considered "too hot" to be modified.
 * This vehicle may be selected randomly as a standard-class target source vehicle from Securoserv during an import mission with one of three variations: DR1FT3R, H0WL3R or D0M1N0.
 * Can be found during a random Business Battle event, located at a car meet.

General

 * The "Black Two Tone" livery is possibly an homage to Han's RX-7 (FD3S) from , which can be replicated with the right modifications.
 * The "Stoplight Racer" livery is possibly an homage to Dom's RX-7 from The Fast and the Furious (2001) from .
 * The Black Flash" and "Yellow Flash" liveries may pay homage to Keisuke Takahashi's Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) from , with both liveries featuring similar side-panel stickers.
 * With the right modifications, the Banshee can be made to resemble the 2013 SRT Viper GTS-R race car.
 * The "900R" nomenclature is likely inspired by the Hennessey Viper Venom 700R.
 * The default radio stations for the Banshee 900R are Radio Mirror Park, Vinewood Boulevard Radio, and Los Santos Rock Radio.

Grand Theft Auto Online

 * Originally, the Banshee 900R was slow upon upgrading it, which received numerous complaints by players. It has since been confirmed as fixed by Rockstar Games.
