Anyone want to steal a Bravado Banshee

 

Come on, you know what I’m talking about! I’m not here to say that it’s nice or legal to steal cars, nor do I encourage it but I think Rockstar Games and Gamestop do. GTA aside, we know we spend a lot of time – hours and hours – jumping around, delivering pizzas or simply stealing cars for a nice ride around town. And it’s simply fun to do things forbidden in real life, isn’t it?

Well, you don’t have to wonder about that anymore, that’s the point! The two companies have joined forces to launch a contest: you actually get the chance to win a real-life version of the well-known Bravado Banshee from Grand Theft Auto. Isn’t that cool? I think so.

Sure, it’s a publicity stunt. I mean, the car made its first appearance in GTA III and will be making a return when GTA V will be out on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 gaming consoles. But, who cares? This Viper like look-alike is still sweet. The Bravado Banshee’s molds were cut and machined piece-by-piece while its handcrafted cabin comes with carbon inlays for the door panels, center console and dashboard.

There’s also a premium multi-speaker sound system and sport seats upholstered and embroidered with the “Banshee” lettering. I could easily ignore all of that, with the right road and the sound of the engine. Still, I’m worried: what if I forget I’m not in the game? Lord, have mercy!
