Description: The Banshee is one of the rarest concept cars ever made by Pontiac. The Banshee was built in 1964 by GM and was intended to rival the Mustang. The Banshee had a V6 engine good for 165hp and a Mustang-...

They didn't build this for fear of encroachment in the 'vette's market
It dose look like a vette on the side but I think your right most people will think it is a vette until they see it a deferent car
If I drove this around, I bet 90% of people would think its an old corvette.
Can totally see the inspiration for the lovely little Opel GT in the Banahee.
@Stephen- true, but the engine bay originally only had to fit an i4 (either a 1.1 or 1.9)
great looking car, but whats it got that weird lump in the middle of the engine cover for?
@jordan&daniel- actually, you're both right. it was based off of the opel gt and was the spiritual predecessor for the stingray

Not ugly guys.... If you saw this coming down the road, you would take double and triple takes at it and then tap your friend and yell "dude, look at that"!
It looks like a camaro and a challenger had a baby, they someone added a whole bunch of crap on it... In others words, ugly
I'm with bill on this one.. wtf is that stuff on back? it has potential, just needs to be executed cleanly
Bill, you're just weird and hard to please. Id hate to see what type of "perfect" car you drive. This car looks badassss. Period.
the back reminds me of the Lamborghini Estoque concept, sorry for comparing
The back looks sexy! Love the exhaust pipes on the side and the unique diffuser

"All the evil happened" Could that be a reference to the girl with the dragon tattoo?
@Dale @Erich I totally agree with you!! Even though I'm only 15, I loved the G8 & the whole line of it that Pontiac would introduce. I honestly cried when I found out there would be no more G8s :/
I've been wanting chevy to rebadge this for years as the elcamino ss it would look awesome with my other eldogs
You may still have a chance at getting a hold of a Commodore in the United States. GM has brought a handful of Commodores over, rebadged as Chevys, to sell as police vehicles.
The problem with that though is that, aside from Commodores and the like, most other Holden's are just rebadged Chevys
You to can have this car..... If you live in Australia. It's called a holden
Dammit I would love some rebadged Holden's... G8 and modern GTO were both awesome cars!
Dale you have it right I believe gm could have saved money by making every Pontiac just a rebadged Holden from aussie
Normally I dislike badge engineering, but honestly I would have really liked it of GM had actually decided to just use the Pontiac name as a way to import Holdens to the US. Take it back to being a performance name, y'know?
The ssr was not a ute, it had no real bed, only room for top and tiny storage
soo this article is about Pontiac never making an original concept cars. . .
Australia made.. Holden have different models, the HSV R8 Maloo, Commodore SSV Ute, VE SS Ute, or the SV6 SIDI Ute. Most powerful and best looking Utes in the world!!!
this just would have been the us version of that. Holdens are basically pontiacs anyway. chrysler dose it to the re branded the dodge magnum as the chrysler 300 touring.

except for the grille, this thing looks like a good reason to have kept pontiac around. add that to the fact that they were on the verge of recreating the el camino, and it would have been a decent lineup.
Well seeing as Chevy and Pontiac were owned by gm. Camaros and firebirds have always been similar. So yes it does look like a camaro.
There are videos on YouTube, people took a camaro and made fiberglass fascias and what not to put on the camaro to make it look like a trams am/firebird
Pontiac's last years were SOOOO much better than the Chevys. Looks and performance. Y they got rid of Pontiac I will never know.
Actually, Andrew, by the tail end of the line, the WS6 TransAm could outperform the Z28. Had a better design for the ram air intake. They weren't exact carbon copies, just mostly. (always favored the birds style, personally)
And btw, this looks better than the camaro. Camaro is getting old. Needs a refresh badly.
@Andrew hey smart one, that's all trans and and Firebirds have always been! Same cara, different fenders. Dur-hurrrr!

If GM could have found a way to cram some pontiacs into the transformer movies along with a new trans am i think they could have kept the name from going under
@thomas you don't no what your talkin about man with 50-50 weight distribution the 944 turbo is an ideal track car and it has better performance stock then any miata EVER. Plus that's you opinion.The worst Porsche IMO? 914 Underpowered, unserviceable
As much as I love classic muscle cars the new American cars are just lacking in quality. The only American car I woul buy new to drive would be a cts v wagon. The rest are just made from cheap plastics and synthetic cloth seilings.
@Erich Youre stupid dude. American cars are beasts. By far the best choice.
Those pussies never produce the cool stuff that people would actually buy....
@Erich they have they're own racing series. And u wouldnt know because the 944 is by far one of the worst Porsches ever built. U have to replace everything for it to be good. Then it's not a Porsche. This thing was a great competitor for the miata.
Why have this car? So you can drive it around and let people know you like to be alone.
@Erich, yes but thats the boring, obvious choice. the car I would get with that $ is a Fiat Barchetta, hopefully the Riviera special edition
I'd rather spend the same $ on a used boxter and go faster, be cooler, look better, feel better, be happier with not going American, have better wheels/brakes/engine, and be able to have the top up or down
@Matt, oh yeah definately, I'd also have the S2000 over this, but I'm just saying, these are actually very good cars, and I dont understand why people hated them so much
I see what ur saying Wyatt, but the s2k and mx5 were clearly the better cars at the time, (especially s2k) they looked better IMO, handled better, were of better quality and the s2k IMO has one of if not the coolest gauge clusters ever! But thats IMO
I might get alot of crap for this, but I dont see why no one bought these, they were great handling little Miata/S2000 competitors, that could easily keep up with those two. and for a cheap car, good looking as well. I'd obviously still have a Ferrari Italia Coupe, but this was a great little car for the money
Dude I would no I own a Porsche 944 2+2 4 cyl and this car was not selling for Pontiac as a sports car so how would it sell as a track day car with only one seat?!
How would a 2 seater/4cyl b hard to sell exactly???? Some of the best cars are just that! 2 seats. 4 cylinders. Ever heard of a miata???
You are joking right ? Ugly and slow??? These are some quik cars and is one of thee best handling cars u can buy.
Solstice's are already ugly and slow. So why would you make a one seater version?
No! Nobody would have bought this and it definately wouldn't have saved them. They were a lost cause and a one seater four cylinder car would be tough to sell for any brand... It would just be done worse with Pontiac and made cheaply
I like this little thing. Could have been a match for the miata.
Perhaps the door on the non-driver's side provides access to a storage area.
Too bad, I was never a big fan of Pontic but they were pretty decent cars
