Vehicle Description
This Bandit truck pays homage to Burt Reynolds and the legendary
Bandit character he portrayed in the "Smokey and the Bandit"
movies. Resuming where Reynolds left off, the Bandit truck is a
modern interpretation of the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am featured in the
movie, but in a street truck format. The base vehicle is a Chevy
Silverado crew cab and is a complete build, including a bespoke
widebody kit with aero and styling, custom-made one-off wheels and
interior treatment. The most notable component in the Bandit truck
is the blueprinted 5.3-liter V8 engine that will produce 707hp and
641 ft/lbs of torque when paired with the all-new Magnuson DI
supercharger system. Final exhaust notes are produced by a special
MagnaFlow system with dual-turndown exhaust tips behind each rear
wheel. Working in conjunction with the wheel, tire and MaxTrac
suspension is the Brembo Monoblock 8-piston brake package, which is
an essential component of this 707hp vehicle. Rounding out the
performance system on the Bandit truck are the specialty 22-inch
wheels, which were developed and manufactured specifically for this
vehicle. The modern basket-weave-style wheels are wrapped with
Proxes ST III rubber from Toyo. Building on the design elements
from the Bandit truck that Reynolds debuted in 2016, the new Bandit
has a complete widebody kit, including new fenders, air dam,
grille, hood, bedsides and roll pan. These features have
transformed this truck into a true street truck worthy of the
Bandit nameplate. Additional design components include forged
carbon-fiber styling for the front splitter, rockers, rear spoiler
and integrated rear-diffuser design. Adding to the Burt Reynolds
authenticity is a hand-painted wreath hood graphic that pays direct
homage and incorporates the BR initials that flank a Seminole arrow
- a nod to his college football alma mater. **MAY NOT BE EMISSIONS
