Super Diamond
The Enus Super Diamond is a luxury four-door sedan in The Ballad of Gay Tony episodic game for Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description
The Super Diamond is intended to resemble a Rolls-Royce Phantom, although the car appears to be less regal in construction, with its front wheels shifted slightly to the front, and features various slight cosmetic changes. When compared to the Super Drop Diamond, the attributes of the rear wheel drive Super Diamond are inferior but more realistic—crash deformation is average, top speed and acceleration are only slightly above average, and handling is average—but it still performs better than it would in real life.
The Super Drop Diamond is a two-door convertible variant based on the Super Diamond.
Trivia
- The Super Diamond's hood ornament consists of a blocky ring affixed with a pair of wings, parodying the Spirit of Ecstasy (Flying Lady) that adorns current Rolls-Royce cars. The lack of effective Phong shading on the ring (appearing instead to feature Gouraud shading) had lead to the perception that the ring is supposed to mimic the form of a cut diamond. The same hood ornament is also visible on the Super Drop Diamond.
- The Super Diamond shares the same rim design as the Oracle. Coincidentally, BMW, which is parodied in game as the Oracle-producing "Ubermacht", 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, Rolls-Royce also state, the Phantom is a larger, more luxurious BMW 7 Series.
- The Super Diamond has no reverse gear lights. The same applies for the Super Drop Diamond.
