THE SPITFIRE BODY WAS ALWAYS TOO SMALL FOR WHAT IT WANTED TO BE. THE BANSHEE FIXES THAT.

Spitfire Properly Provoked

Design

EXTERIOR

The shape draws from the cars that defined GT racing in the early 1960s — low, purposeful, with a long hood and a cabin that sits just far enough back to look like it means business. Wider, lower, and longer than the car it started as, the Banshee carries the proportions of a period competition coupe without copying any one of them. Every exterior detail is tailored to the commission. The shape stays. Everything else is yours.

Cockpit

INTERIOR

The cockpit is built around the driver. Two configurations are available: a full analog instrument cluster with period-correct gauges across the dash, or a hybrid setup pairing a Holley EFI center touchscreen with flanking analog gauges — giving you data management without losing the tactile read of a proper cockpit. Either way, bucket seats are trimmed in full-grain leather with alcantara inserts, four-point harnesses, and a wood-rimmed Moto-Lita wheel on a polished aluminum hub. The dash is hand-formed, every surface you touch has been considered, and climate, sound, and navigation are integrated without announcing themselves.

Performance

DRIVETRAIN

Two packages. The first is a 550-horsepower naturally aspirated LS3 with traditional LS6 intake or individual throttle bodies — the latter chosen for its sound, its response, and the way it rewards a driver who knows what they're doing. The second is a 700-horsepower all-aluminum 5.3-liter LS with twin turbos, for the build that needs to be harder-edged and less apologetic. Both are available with a T56 six-speed manual or an 8HP automatic with paddle shift. The manual is the right answer. You already know that.

Handling

SUSPENSION

Dual wishbone front and rear, Nitron R3 coilovers, fully adjustable. The kind of suspension architecture that belongs under a car that actually gets driven — on a road, on a track, in the rain if it comes to that. A front nose-lift system comes standard, because the car is low enough to need one. For clients who want the ability to raise and lower the car on demand, we also offer RideTech adjustable coilover airbags — the same ride quality, with the added convenience of air management.

Structure

THE CHASSIS

Everything starts here. A custom steel chassis built around a 3x5 main structure, with an upper cage fabricated from 1.5-inch DOM square tubing. Engineered for rigidity, designed for the suspension and drivetrain it carries, and fabricated by hand in our shop. This is not a modified production platform. It was built for this car.
