1965 Pontiac Banshee

Some cars are remembered for their achievements on the road. Others become legends without ever reaching mass production. The 1965 Pontiac Banshee belongs to the second category, and now this remarkable piece of American automotive history arrives in Project Zomboid.

Originally developed as an experimental sports car, the Banshee featured a striking design that looked ready to challenge established performance models. However, concerns about competition within General Motors contributed to the project's cancellation.

Only a handful of prototypes were produced, leaving behind one of the most fascinating stories in Pontiac's history.

Now you can take this forgotten machine onto the abandoned highways of Kentucky, where speed, handling and a little extra protection might make all the difference.

Three Performance Variants

The mod introduces three configurations with different driving characteristics:

• Banshee Sprint - One of the available configurations, with its own performance and handling setup.
• Banshee 400 - An alternative version offering a different driving experience.
• Banshee XP - Another interpretation of the experimental sports car with distinct road behavior.

All three share the same interchangeable components, making repairs and maintenance considerably easier.

Each configuration has two seats, making it suitable for solo exploration or traveling with a companion.

Customization and Protection

Although the original Banshee was designed for performance rather than survival, this version offers numerous upgrades for dealing with the undead.

Additional equipment can be crafted or discovered while exploring:

• Two front bumper options and one rear bumper
• Two levels of bumper protection
• Reinforced bullbars
• Protective plates for windows and doors
• Engine and headlight armor
• Roof racks for additional supplies
• Roll bars, removable roofs and exterior accessories
• Multiple texture variations

These modifications allow you to preserve the sleek appearance of a classic concept car or turn it into a more practical machine for dangerous expeditions.

Animations and Interactive Components

The interior is visible, with improved character animations for entering, exiting and aiming.
