Taking modern Chevy Camaros and molding them into the shape of the iconic 70’s Trans Am. There is basically no other model able to revive the same feeling of style, toughness and push the same invitation to ride. As if the „screaming chicken” wasn’t badass enough, featuring in the Smokey & The Bandit movies made even cooler. There was plenty of style, but unfortunately not enough power.

The Bandit Got Pumped Up

Directly from the Trans Am Depot, the latest demon love child comes along with an endorsement by Burt Reynolds, the star from Smokey & The Bandit. And what better name to choose for the roided Trans Am if not „Bandit”.

The cabin

While on the outside, the prominent shaker scoop on the front-opening hood and the unmistakable „screaming chicken” are all that’s needed to instantly go back to the 70’s, the interior is even more refined.

The black tan color scheme along with Bandit decals almost everywhere (console, headrests, plastic door insertions) create the proper Hollywoodian atmosphere.

Roll camera, mark, power!

Unlike it’s grandpa, the Trans Am SE Bandit doesn’t lack power. The 7.4 liter LSX V8 petrol engine has been pumped up by a 2.9 liter supercharger, unleashing a total output of 840HP. Sheriff Buford will definitely have an even harder time catching the Bandit with this configuration.

The good thing about the Bandit is you can actually get one for yourself; it’s not just one a of a kind. On the other hand, only 77 are going to be built so you better act fast in order to have it in your garrage.
