The Enus Super Diamond is a luxury four-door sedan in The Ballad of Gay Tony episode game for Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V.
Description
Design
The Super Diamond is intended to resemble a 2003-present Rolls-Royce Phantom with some small elements from the 1968-1991 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI, although the car appears to be a lot less regal in construction, with various slight changes, such as the front wheels being shifted slightly forwards and unlike its real-life counterpart, the Super Diamond does not have suicide doors. The car features an interior similar to the Schafter's, but is covered by white leather and has no logo on the steering wheel.
The Super Drop Diamond is a two-door convertible variant based on the Super Diamond, meant to resemble the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé.
Performance
The Super Diamond, unlike the real-life Phantom, has an inline-6 engine which powers the rear wheels in an FR drivetrain layout and a 6 speed gearbox configuration. The Super Diamond has a considerable top speed of 220 mph (354 km/h), which is slower than its convertible counterpart, the Super Drop Diamond. It is also capable of accelerating 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds. It isn't equipped with ABS, so braking while turning will often lead to understeer, then possible oversteer. The handling is fairly good for a vehicle when taking short turns. Longer turns will result in the car starting to drift, and its continuation will eventually result in the car spinning out of control. Crash deformation is good, lasting for about 3 to 4 direct hits before the vehicle starts to smoke or ignites. Overall body and engine integrity is on par with the Schafter or Dukes.
In GTA V, the Super Diamond is the fastest accelerating car classified as a sedan. Its top speed and handling are average for sedans.
Trivia
- The Super Diamond's hood ornament consists of a diamond affixed with a pair of wings, parodying the Spirit of Ecstasy (Flying Lady) that adorns current Rolls-Royce cars and the fact that the car is called the Super Diamond. The same hood ornament is also visible on the Super Drop Diamond.
- In The Ballad of Gay Tony, the Super Diamond shares the same rim design as the Oracle. Coincidentally, BMW, which is parodied in game as the Oracle-producing Übermacht, is also the parent company of Rolls-Royce in real life, also to fact in the first stages of designing the Rolls-Royce Phantom, the shell of the BMW 750I was used as a design guide, so the Phantom is a larger, more luxurious BMW 7 Series.
- The default radio stations for Super Diamond in GTA V are Space 103.2 and Lowdown 91.1.
- The Super Diamond has no reversing lights. The same applies for the Super Drop Diamond, Contender, Intruder and the Tow Truck (TLAD).
- The car also slightly resembles a 2006 Chrysler Imperial, most notably in the headlights. Coincidentally, the Imperial can be described as a Rolls-Royce clone by certain styling cues.
- In GTA V after the 1.10 patch, the car was classed from a "Sedan" to a "Sports" when entered, like it was before the 1.01 patch. It was changed yet again in the 1.11 patch. Also, in the BradyGames Guide book for GTA V, it's also listed as sports.
- The bulk and weight of the Super Diamond is strong enough to detach the wheels of other cars upon impact.
- The Super Diamond is one of the vehicles the Epsilon Program requests Michael De Santa attain for them ("Assuming the Truth").
