Pontiac's futuristic fourth Banshee concept
The fourth in Pontiac's Banshee concept lineage, the 1988 Banshee IV was a sleek 2-door coupe with a bright-red fibreglass body and matte-black triangular hood. It packed advanced-for-its-era features including a heads-up display projecting speed and RPM on the windscreen, memory 'smart' seats, and an ETAK navigation system. Its styling cues influenced the fourth-generation Firebird that followed.
