In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the [[Bravado]] Banshee resembles a [[wp:Dodge Viper#Second generation SR (1996–2002)|1996-2002 Dodge Viper Coupe]], but has side exhausts and a shorter roofline resembling a [[wp:Dodge Viper#Third generation ZB (2003-2006)|third]] or [[wp:Dodge Viper#Fourth generation ZB (2008–2010)|fourth generation Dodge Viper]]. The front fascia loosely resembles that of several [http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1082/571857209_ae77d61653.jpg?v=0 Marcos] sports cars and the taillights resemble those of the [[wp:Aston Martin DB9|Aston Martin DB9]]. Unlike the real-life Viper's V10 engine, the GTA IV Banshee has a 300ci (4.91 Liter) twin-turbocharged V8, according to the [[Autoeroticar.com|AutoEroticar]] website, and can be seen in-game if the player inflicts enough damage to cause the hood to come off. | In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto V]], the [[Bravado]] Banshee resembles a [[wp:Dodge Viper#Second generation SR (1996–2002)|1996-2002 Dodge Viper Coupe]], but has side exhausts and a shorter roofline resembling a [[wp:Dodge Viper#Third generation ZB (2003-2006)|third]] or [[wp:Dodge Viper#Fourth generation ZB (2008–2010)|fourth generation Dodge Viper]].

Banshees in GTA IV are present as convertibles with rollbars or hardtops, and may optionally feature more recessed hood vents. Similar to its real-life counterpart, the Banshee bears its own logo, resembling a screaming mouth with fangs (much like the real logo of the Dodge Viper) on the side panels, steering wheel, and upholstery. The standard Bravado logo is used on the front and rear of the car. The Banshee can be seen with an allover paintjob, or with a racing stripe down the middle. Inside, the typical cozy Dodge Viper interior is found with black leather-clad sport seats sporting the Bravado logo. | Banshees in GTA IV are present as convertibles with rollbars or hardtops, and may optionally feature more recessed hood vents.
