Castro Capitano

The Castro Capitano Racing Truck was built from a 70's pickup. Heavily armoured, a supercharged V8 compensates for the extra weight. Created way back by one of the earliest competitors, it looks like being around a few more years yet.

- PlayStation Store description

The Castro Capitano is a Racing Truck in MotorStorm and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. Like other Castro vehicles, it is based on an older, classic vehicle. The most pronounced feature on this particular truck is that it's entire front windshield is covered in roll-cage tubing, with vertical, Big Rig-style exhausts, teamed with an almost comically large bonnet scoop.

Unlocking

MotorStorm

The Capitano was added to MotorStorm as downloadable content, through separate regional means:

• as part of the Capitano & Varjack vehicle pack, via the EU PlayStation Store;
• and as the sole vehicle in the MotorStorm™ Castro Capitano vehicle pack, via the US PlayStation Store

MotorStorm: Pacific Rift

The Capitano is one of the two default Racing Trucks in Pacific Rift, alongside the Patriot Rodeo.

Trivia

• "Capitano" is Spanish for "captain".
• The side-mounted Big Rig-style exhaust pipes on the Capitano may be a reference to a trim line for the Dodge D Series called the Lil' Red Express, which had a similar exhaust setup.
• The Capitano returns to the MotorStorm series in the RC Pro-Am Expansion Pack for MotorStorm RC.
• The blue vinyl for this vehicle possesses the traditional artificial wood style which many classic sedans tend to possess.
• This vehicle and the Patriot V8 share a themed paint job, namely the "Stone Bonez" (sic) livery.
• Like all other DLC vehicles from MotorStorm, it is one of the few vehicles in Pacific Rift that doesn't carry any liveries over from the original game.
• As is the case with any other vehicle in the original MotorStorm, there are named AI drivers for player liveries who never appear in the game. The names are 'Bankjob' Banks (for the rusty livery) and 'Bankroll' Banks (for both the zebra livery and Numskull Helmets livery).
• In Pacific Rift, Travis Ryan (blue livery), Dmitri Molotov (faded red livery) and Oscar Gratz (black/red "splatter" livery) are the AI Characters seen driving this vehicle.
  • It is also interesting to note that these same 3 characters all drive the 3 Humbler Diablo's, Wombat Mudslide's and Atlas Varjack's in their respective liveries.
