$170,000 GTA Banshee For Sale

published 1 June 2014

Time and time again, video games present us with fantastic automobiles which we'll never quite be able to throttle around outside of those pixel-laden worlds.

Not the Banshee from the Grand Theft Auto series, mind. Built by West Coast Customs last year to promote the latest chapter in the crime series and given away to a competition winner by GameStop, the owner has now put the blue beast up for sale on Ebay.

V-10 powered and based on a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, it's been thoroughly modelled to replicate the look of the pixelated racer even down to the side panels, hood and embodied badging.

If you’re US-based and manage to raise over $170,000 before bidding ends on June 5, we say go for it. And no, you can’t steal it.
