The Ryback Bandit is a vehicle that is featured in Split/Second.

## Design

### *Split/Second*

Designed as a small racing truck, the Bandit's appearance can be described as bulky and curvy, the Bandit is very loosely based on a Chevrolet SSR, mostly the 2000 concept version. Certain areas of the vehicle appear aggressive but throughout the body, it remains tame.

In the front fascia of the Bandit, it mostly shows its aggressive appearance, starting with the headlights, grille and front bumper air ducts. Its headlights extend past the front bumper and a quarter way up towards the the hood cover and fenders, it's grille is shaped to be pointed downwards to further show its aggressive styling cue. The Ryback logo is placed on the top of the grille and a red tow hook is placed at the bottom. Below both headlights are the air ducts, placed above the vehicle's racing splitter.

The top part of the front splitter has jagged edges to match the bumper design and at the front of the splitter, it goes downwards, making with the grille shape and part of the front bumper's livery. On the hood, the vehicle possesses a power bulge, although it is mainly for design purposes as the vehicle's engine is housed in the rear end of the car.

Inside the Bandit's interior, it holds a roll cage for crashes and racing nets on both sides of the windows. On the top left part of the hood, there is a red emergency release.

Towards the rear of the car, holds the Bandit's engine, with air vents companying both sides of the trunk. Like it's headlights, the taillights are shaped in a similar aggressive manner, in the middle, houses the license plate holder. The Bandit is equipped with two exhaust pipes on both sides of the rear bumper, and on the bumper, holds a racing diffuser.

Like most parts of the car, the Bandit's grille, front bumper side air ducts, front splitter, side skirts, mirrors, rear wing and rear bumper are all entirely made out of carbon fiber.

The Bandit is shown to have seven-spoke rims with red center locks for the wheels and having Split/Second written in white on it's tire walls.

The Bandit's livery contains blue and white triangular shapes from the front bumper, sides of the car, rear bumper and from the hood all the way to the truck, completing it's aggressive design. The rest of the body color can be change to the Player's choosing.

The Ryback Bandit has **6** color schemes:

* **Black**
* **Grey**
* **White**
* **Blue**
* **Dark Blue**
* **Red**

## Performance

### *Split/Second*

Being the fastest truck in it's designated C Class, the Bandit could hold it's own, even with vehicles in the lower parts of B Class. As said in the vehicle's description, the Bandit takes some time to get going from a standstill, expressing it's poor acceleration. It's speed is sub-par over all but it excels better than the rest of the cars in C Class.

It's drifting capabilities remains to be desired due to the size of this vehicle. Cornering can indeed slow the vehicle down, as simply turning for more than a second can result in losing built up speed. Drifting can lower it's power by a small chunk so it would be advised to gain the most amount of momentum before drifting into a corner. While the Bandit lacks in speed, drifting and acceleration, it certainly makes up for it in strength, able to withstand bigger power plays without losing most of it's control. It can withstand shockwaves and keep on going.
