What is the Banshee?
The Banshee is a 1600cc Formula Spec Car designed for use as an entry level racecar which can be used for, Road Racing, Ovals, Hill climbs, Time trials or Solo events. The car was designed with safety in mind, plus some unusual features including extreme ease of repair.

  • Master cylinders over the footbox instead of in front
  • A rear Transmission Guard that doubles as a Push-bar
  • Suspension parts that fit the left or right side
  • Tear away tabs to secure all suspension components while protecting the main chassis

It has a replacement Program that allows the driver to exchange the engine at a very reasonable cost.

The Banshee is race-ready and available for less than other cars of its class. For more information and pricing, contact Banshee Engineering, (304) 725-4644.
