So we're looking at a few new vehicles this Spring as part of the new High Life update; the Pegassi Zentorno, Dewbauchee Massacro, Enus Huntley, and the Dinka Thrust. Unfortunately, only two cars are visible in the pictures provided by Rockstar. In the first image the Zentorno is in front, the Massacro is behind it in yellow, and even further back you can just barely glimpse the Huntley (image one), while the Thrust is nowhere to be found. I think it's only fitting to break down the car models and try to figure out how they might perform.
First of all, the Zentorno closely resembles a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento (image two). It is clearly made evident by the look of the triangular hood vents. What we know about the real car is that it is pushing 570 bhp, a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time of 2.5 seconds, and the body panels are made of carbon fiber so it is well known for being very light . Unfortunately, it is most likely safe to assume that the handling will be very similar to the other Lambo representations of GTA5, if not just a bit lighter. In conclusion, I do not believe that it will be any quicker than the Entity XF (Koenigsegg Agera R), as the Sesto Elemento's performance does not match that of the Koenigsegg, also traction and handling will most likely be very similar to the other Lambo representations like the Vacca (roughly the same center of gravity, turn radius etc...) with the exception of weight. In terms of super cars, anything better than the Entity may have to be a model of the Venom GT (Guinness's fastest car in the world) or Shelby's SSC Ultimate Aero (Guinness's 2007- 2010 fastest) among maybe 1 or two others, depending on traction and handling of course.
Now secondly, the Dewbauchee Massacro: This car is definitely an Aston Martin. Dewbauchee is synonymous with Aston Martins in Gta5 as well as Pagassi being Lamborghini's counterpart. This one, from my research, looks like a DBR9 (image 3). Notice the small grille and fender vents on the DBR9. You can compare them with the in-game image (image 4 second post) where the front end of a black Massacro is just in front to the left. Now the thing I'm excited about is that the DBR9 is actually a race car. You can't even do a Google search and find one without livery. This leads me to believe that traction and handling will be very forgiving as they would need to be at peak performance for their intended professional racing purposes (I don't have the raw handling data and I sure wouldn't be able to read it). The second thing I noticed is that the DBR9 sports a 600hp V-12. Now seeing as how the Nissan GT-R 's base model (Elegy) includes a 545hp v6 and has been known to be converted to a 590hp v8 in certain cases for professional racing, it is possible that it will be faster as well. In conclusion, I believe we may be looking at a faster car with a bit more forgivable handling than the Elegy. It may be that you won't have to brake so early or fear complete loss of control if your back end comes out a bit on the turns. I'd personally love this in a new sports car.
We'll just have to see when they're out and speculation is only healthy, right? What do you guys think in terms of the way they will perform, looks, or anything else you might want to bring up? Personally, I'd only get either of them if performance is better. They look great, although I don't think they look THAT great. Know what I mean?

*Update
The Massacro could even be an Aston Martin V12 Zagato, or even mixed around with the DBR9. Either way, I'm really hoping it will be a good car.

Honestly, I think the Zentorno looks ugly. The front lights really put me off. If they did different lights. It would be a different story. Along with the Siesto, you see some Veneno elements. I agree with your speculation. Don't think it'll be close to Entity/Adder/Turismo level. I certainly hope it is though. Competitive at least. I really have have high hopes for the Massacro. Same with this though, don't think it'll dethrone the Elegy. Praying it's competitive though. I like the looks of it a lot. Hoping it can be a Jester alternate. Jester is a nice second place to the Elegy. Having a second place competition isn't bad at all.

Well you're looking at the Massacro being RWD with the Zentoro being AWD. With that you'd have to say that the Zentoro is probably the only one which has any chance of taking any top spots. I think the Massacros will just be a better, perhaps more stable, rapid GT. Maybe feltzer speed. The Zentoro though has potential. Chances are it will be quite light and then it depends on the traction it has to determine how it performs. It will certainly be quicker than the Vacca and Infernus imo. At least Adder standards in terms of lap time, maybe turismo, and if it's very lucky, entity levels.
Do I think we'll see any records broken? Probably not. Although it would be within R*s interest to do that. They'll sell a lot more cars (and therefore shark cards) if a DLC car becomes the quickest in its class.
Also I believe that's a Rocoto in the background of the pic, not the Huntley.

Yeah I mean honestly I think people would lose it if all of a sudden all the money they spent on their entity/adder all of a sudden becomes moot because a new dlc car is a clear winner. I know that in most races and free roam people are using sports and supers. I'd really like to see some nice new coupes, compacts and sports classics, maybe sedans? I'd be really happy to see a porsche 911 classic, a c2 or c3 vette, Jaguar E type, Cobra, gen 1 benz 300 sl, bmw m1. So many beautiful sports classics I want to see.

Much as they are in real life, these cars both seem like they'll be the up-rated stripped-out racing versions of their road-car counterparts.
I think the Massacro will destroy the Rapid GT, but will be about on par with the Feltzer. They're both similar in that they're stripped-out and race-ready GT1-style road cars.
As for the Zentorno, I think it'll beat the Vacca (Lamborghini Gallardo), although not by much. The Sesto Elemento used the stock Gallardo Superleggera drivetrain, so power will be relatively unchanged, and I'm assuming this will carry through into the Zentorno. However, handling and braking should improve if the Zentorno is lightened in the same way the Sesto Elemento is. I'm betting the Zentorno will be on pace with the Cheetah, and could beat it if it's AWD.
I personally don't like the front fascia on the Zentorno, and the proportions look off in the teaser pic. I'll reserve judgement until it's added to the game, however - I might wind up loving it. The Massacro, on the other hand, is a sexy beast. It looks like a much slicker and more handsome Coquette, and it's very likely I'll pick one up.

I agree we wont be seeing any records broken as far as the Zentorno goes, however, I do believe they may be releasing a better vehicle soon, as they really haven't yet. As for what ikayos was saying; it wouldn't be too good for Rockstar to come out with a faster supercar yet, I agree. So they could be thinking to replace the free Elegy in terms of performance. I'd bet some meaningless cash on it. Broughy that is a tremendous point when you're saying the Massacro will most definitely underperform if its released as a RWD car. I, for one, am hoping it wont be. I'd like handling for a newer better performing sports car to be implemented.

Huntley? Isn't that an SUV in GTA IV and San Andreas. But that one was manufactured by Vapid. So I'm curious as to what it'll look like.
That SUV in the first picture looks like that Porsche SUV but also a bit like the Rocoto.

Yeah I was looking through that earlier. They changed the maker from Vapid to Enus. It seemed to me at first that Enus is a parody of Rolls Royce because the Enus Super Diamond is actually a Rolls Royce Phantom, so when looking for a Rolls Royce SUV, I found well... nothing. They don't make an SUV yet. On the GTA5 Wiki it says Enus is a parody of Rolls Royce, Maybach, and Bentley. Maybach has yet to release one either, so we're looking at... a Bentley! It is very possible that Rockstar has gone the creative route and is basing their vehicle off of the new Bently 9F SUV concept (the first Bentley SUV ever made and is anticipated for 2015). Of all three brands, this is the only way it could happen. There's even a pic of the Bentley concept in the forum that you linked, nfsshadow, so others are looking that direction, too. As for performance... the designer says it will be the fastest and most expensive SUV in the world, being able to reach 200+ mph/322 kph. Below is a pic of the leaked images of the add ons for the Huntley and a pic of the new Bentley concept SUV so you can compare. I believe Rockstar wants to bring a faster SUV into the mix so they went crazy with it. Nobody's racing with SUV's at this time so this may be their fix. And get it? Huntley... Bentley... the names are very similar.
So... new fastest SUV? Something that's fun to drive??? That would be ace. Maybe they're going to release a couple of new best performing vehicles over the course of this Spring. It would definitely make a nice change-up.

would be nice to get a SUV from a high-end manufacturer... too bad it doesnt have alot of tuning options..

One more thing... and that's because I've been researching the motorcycles... Dinka is Honda... IE. Blista (civic hatch), Double-T (CBR1000RR or the Fireblade). The thruster may just be the Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird. One of the faster bikes out there, but the Bati (Ducati 1098s) probably has it beat. eh?

All of these vehicles are mixed with others, I wish something was leaked. Idk much about bikes either, I just looked up a few associations and top 10 lists. Unless it's a bike just for looks, they're likely to release something that performs well. The Honda Blackbird is the only Honda that stacks up with the others. So my final verdict... Not the best bike, maybe a better SUV, I hope for a better sports car but it's very possible it won't be, and not the best super although it could rank decently like Broughy was saying.

The Bati looks pretty close to a Ducati 848, but I'd love to see the new Panigale added. The Bati is close but just nowhere near as aggressive. Mostly because they rounded the tank/seat/shock junction down into a flat piece of metal, covered the back of the front wheel, and lowered the ass end. I'll just be happy with a custom exhaust for the Bati (bottom exit like the new Panigale) and fender eliminator kits. I hate looking at the license plate holder on the Bati, it's just as ugly as its real life counterpart.
