The Banshee begins with the Triumph Spitfire and reimagines it as a all aluminum bodied, V8-powered American vintage GT: wider, lower, longer, stronger, and built with the stance, sound, and confidence the original car never had.

We are not just talking, we are building -

exterior

The exterior styling is rooted in the golden age of GT racing, taking its cues from aluminum bodied cars like the Ferrari 250 GTO, Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, and the Maserati Tipo 151. The result is a low, purposeful coupe with a long hood, short rear deck, compact cabin, sculpted fenders, and a stance that feels both familiar and rare. Exterior details can be tailored to each build, giving every Banshee its own character without losing the shape that defines it.

drivetrain

The drivetrain options are designed to give the Banshee real performance behind its vintage GT shape. The first package is a 550-horsepower LS3 with individual throttle bodies, chosen for its throttle response, sound, and naturally aspirated character. The second is a 700-horsepower all-aluminum 5.3-liter LS with twin turbos for drivers who want a harder-edged, high-output build. Both packages are available with either a T56 manual transmission or an 8HP automatic with paddle-shift capability.

suspension

Underneath the all aluminum vintage GT body is a modern, dual wishbone suspension architecture paired with Nitron R3 coilovers for control, adjustability, and serious road performance. A front nose-lift system comes standard, making the Banshee more usable in the real world without compromising its low, purposeful stance. The goal is not a stripped-down track package, but a fast, composed, road-focused car built for canyons, rallies, and long miles.

interior

The interior can be finished in one of two distinct styles, from a modern 12-inch customizable display to our vintage-inspired digital gauge package designed to look mechanical, analog, and appropriate to a 1960s-era performance car. From there, each cabin is built around the owner’s use, with custom seating, color, trim, cloth, Alcantara, leather, and vinyl options available. Whether the build calls for a refined bespoke GT interior or a sparse race-car-inspired layout, every Banshee interior is tailored to feel personal while still belonging to the car.

Totally Bespoke

Every Banshee starts with the idea of a Triumph Spitfire taken far beyond its original limits. The car keeps the compact, lightweight spirit of the original, but it is rebuilt using a redesigned aluminum body, an updated chassis, modern dual wishbone suspension, serious V8 power, and a far more aggressive GT stance. From there, each build is tailored around the owner’s use, with choices in exterior color, interior style, seating, trim, wheel choice, materials, and finishing details. The result is not a fixed formula, but a bespoke Spitfire-based vintage GT built with 1960s character and modern road capability.

Robust rigid chassis

Built around a robust custom chassis design, the platform starts with a strong 3x5 steel base structure engineered to provide a solid foundation for modern suspension, drivetrain, and body mounting. Above that, the chassis continues with an upper structure fabricated from 1.5-inch DOM square tubing, creating additional rigidity and support throughout the car. The image shown represents the lower chassis and drivetrain layout only; the completed structure includes an integrated upper framework designed to tie the car together and support the full body, cockpit, and performance demands of the finished build.
