A Bandito in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Rear quarter view).

The Bandito is sand-driving buggy featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

Design

The Bandito is designed as a dune buggy with a relatively simply construction. Its body and chassis consists of formed and welded metal tubing, and its driver compartment, engine and other mechanical components are exposed; lights and windscreen are also added. Being stripped down to the bare essentials, the Bandito also lacks a radio.

Performance

The performance of the Bandito is comparably better than that of a BF Injection, a similar dune buggy, as the Bandito is not susceptible to spinouts due to a more balanced chassis and longer length. Its soft suspensions and off-road tires allow the vehicle to traverse rough terrain and sand with no problem, and its speed is considerably above average. The vehicle is also bottom-heavy and wider at the bottom, reducing the risk of the vehicle resting on its top.

Trivia

• During the San Fierro Street Race "Bandito Country", the Bandito driven by Carl actually has a radio equipped; even though it isn't present visually. This may be the only Bandito in the game to ever have a radio equipped (leaving mods aside).
