That has always been my only gripe about the bati. I hated switching to that from the double t because of all the awesome customizations you could do with it. I really hope the new bike has some neat custom options to make it worthwhile. I just don't think it will be faster than the Bati.

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.
If this info is turns out being right I think we have a new winner in the SUV class. Start saving our money guys. Many cars to buy soon.

We now have new information that the new cars will be coming out next Tuesday. You can read about the new High Life update here: socialclub.rockstargames.com/news/article/52245/GTA-Online-The-High-Life-Update-Coming-Next-Week-Tuesday.
As for the new vehicles, I believe they are looking accurate to my comparisons (even the Huntley S which seems to be the Bentley 9f which I predicted without an image to go by haha). Here's the newest pic of all three of them and also a comparison to what we now have of the Dinka Thrust (what I believe is a Honda Blackbird). As far as I know, Broughy has said he may have the new vehicles already tested and results uploaded to YouTube by Wednesday on the NoDo page via the Social Club.
As for performance, I believe we might be looking at a better SUV. I'm more confident on that than any of the other vehicles but we'll see by the times Broughy puts up.
New pic of all three cars: the Zentorno (Lamborghini Sesto Elemento), Massacro (Aston Martin DB9/ DBR9), and Huntley S (Bentley 9F Concept) from left to right:
Bently 9F Concept (look at the mesh grille it's dead on):
Dinka Thrust:
You can compare this with the Honda Blackbird. I originally predicted this even before we had any pictures to go by; Dinka is a parody of Honda, and the highest scoring Honda on top performance motorcycle lists was the Blackbird. Note the way the rearview mirrors are designed; the Blackbird was likely a major inspiration. If it is going to be available on Legendary Motorsports like the article says, it is going to be one of few motorcycles ever to be available on that site rather than Southern San Andreas Super Autos. I'd say it's almost inevitable it is the parody of this bike. We'll have to wait until a better image comes out or the update next Tuesday to know for sure.
***EDIT Then again... looking at the front end of the Thrust, it could be a cruiser... which is sad face* to me. You could compare with the Honda DN 01.

NICE. Can't wait to buy another garage and fill it with awesome cars & bikes.
Hopefully the Dinka Thrust and Huntley S are fastest in their class (or at least close enough that it doesn't really matter). Because looks-wise, they're easily my favorites just from these screenshots. I'll definitely buy and test them in single-player before getting them online.

I hope the new Blackbird fills the role that the FCR-900 used to fill in San Andreas. On SACNR you have most people on the PCJ-600 because it seems to accelerate quicker (odd) and handles better. But the 900 is very stable and seems to hold its high top speed well while cornering, so people use it for stunts. Personally, I'm not satisfied with the top speed of the Bati. But it handles good, so I'm hoping the Blackbird will handle like a boat (compared to the Bati) and have good top speed (just like its real-life counterpart).

can we note there is a road version of the DBR9 the DBR9S not sure if anyone has noted this as havent taken the time to read all the posts Yes, there absolutely is. The way the models break down is as follows: the DB9 is the production car, the DBR9 was adapted to sports car racing, and the DBR9s boasted more carbon fiber and an engine upgrade for racing purposes. There is also the DBR9 LM (le mans) that they built limited edition to commemorate their 2007 le mans victory for the GT1 class. I believe Rockstar wanted to make it a DB9 stock, then add elements to make it look like a DBR9 when you upgrade it with the side vents and a roll cage, which is a very neat dynamic. Unfortunately, as Broughy has said in later posts the DBR9 (and DB9) are RWD cars which won't be able to stack up against the faster and more controllable AWD cars. They only way the Massacro stands a chance for a very top spot is if they implemented AWD.

The Zentorno is a monster. I'd be surprised if this car doesn't become #1.

ya I still have mine, and my adder. I don't think I'll be able to get rid of either of them. I'm going to wait to see what Broughy pulls up with the other cars before I decide on them, though I will probably buy the Huntley if it's competitive with the Baller.

I'm glad to see everyone is checking out the new cars, I just took a look at the Dinka Thrust and I'm a bit disappointed. The bike has a cruiser look; it looks EXACTLY like the Honda DN 01. I guess you can make it look a little sporty but it was not what I initially expected. Here's what you can do with it:
I doubt it will beat the Bati or even the Akuma, we'll see when the lap times come in.

I was in a non-contact race, and it seemed like catch-up and slipstream were turned off in that mode by default, though I'm obviously not even close to 100% on that. I would need to check it out further to make sure.

Here's a pic of all the new vehicles fully upgraded from single player. The Dinka Thrust (Honda DN 01) The Enus Huntley (Bentley 9f Concept) The Dewbauchee Massacro (Aston Martin DB9/ DBR9) The Pegassi Zentorno (Lamborghini Sesto Elemento) *also has some attributes of the Veneno like the racing spoiler and a wider opening on the front end
As for how they run... I'm going to say I was having high hopes for the Huntley until I experienced its traction. I don't believe the Thrust will fare very well, either. As for the Zentorno and Massacro it is very hard to say so we'll have to wait until Broughy is done with the new video.
