For anyone who hasn't gotten to see testing times or anything yet. Yes the regular version is faster than the Benny's version around a track. I tested both with multiple laps, and even did it again on a separate track to make sure. Its a nice car, and i love the looks of it. That said, it will not be a new competitor in most race types, the Tyrus and T20 are both posting better lap times as well as top speeds.

It's nonsensical that the race version of a car not only isn't significantly faster than the road version but is actually slower.

Around Broughy's track with Broughy driving. Your results may vary.

I know but if it was clearly faster, as it should be, then it'd be obvious and Broughy wouldn't be necessary. It isn't though.

Were those stunt races or normal? Which ones? I'd be very surprised if the stock version was faster on stunt tracks

Only thing I dislike about this thing is that the main tail lights are the brake lights and the brake light looking things are tail lights.

I have the regular version and I love it but I can't get past how skinny the tires are. Can anyone that has the custom variant tell me if it comes with wider tires than the original. I can't tell from the pictures. Thanks

As someone that has driven a fully modded one 3 weeks ago online...I told you guys it would be disappointing.

 

T20 is the superior car.

 

I said this thing is small and you guys didn't believe me.

It's less 'you guys didn't believe me' and more that nobody really gave a sh*t that it was slower than the T20 because performance isn't everything.

what is it then? Looks?

 

T20 is sexy AF.

 

Like Grotti....this is the Bestia version.

 

We already have a T20 and Tyrus. This car will be the 3rd best of the bunch.

 

 

Ok? People obviously don't care and enjoy the car regardless, were you coming in here looking for a pat on the back?

Honestly I'm at a loss as to what to think about this car, and what to do with it. I've spent a good million dollars just dicking around with the customization on this thing, trying to find a setup and design that I like. I feel like the car would/could look much better if it had some decent liveries. Everything that's offered is either too much, or too simple.

 

I would have been MUCH happier with a Benny's upgrade to the T20. Get us a proper P1 GTR instead of this half hybrid demon child thing. I've been wanting a P1 GTR since the day GTAO came out back on PS3, and had incredibly high hopes for this car to fill that spot. Alas I was as dissapointed with this as I was with the Reaper, when I thought I'd get my other top wanted car, the Hypersport, in Gta :/

Diggin this thing so far, only customization complaint is I hate the huge bumper diffuser that you can only remove from the basic bumper (custom version of course), really dissuades me from using any but the "no diffuser" option atm. But eh it's not a big deal in the end, I'll either get over it or just keep using this bumper :p

 

I LOVE that they gave me another super with an antenna option hehe, it'll look nice sitting next to the Tyrus. Super antenna bros!

 

Now excuse me while I go VIP mission myself another 46 grand so I can buy a turbo, the struggle is *virtually* real.

I didn't get much time to test this out, but it was definitely worth it and it looks amazing. Although, I really wish I could remove those towhooks from the front and rear. Not a huge negative, but a little nitpick on my behalf.

The Tempesta has an antenna option as well.

 

Yeah that's what I meant by "another" as the Tyrus has one by default.

Thought you were referencing the Tyrus as "another". I'm not fond of antennas on cars, look tacky to me, but it's cool that someone likes them. I mean someone has to right? Or else why have them on cars.

Yeah I can see why it came off like that.

 

And to your second point, exactly :) Tbh I'm not huge on them either, I just enjoy the look of small centered ones on the roof like that.

There's not a good deal in it? Once you compare traction and cornering of these 2 you will be even more disappointed , custom version has less traction than the normal version and that results in worse cornering, custom version sits as the 13th fastest car on cutting corners , while the normal version sits at the 10th place,top speed wise there are better choices , i believe 811 and nero are faster than it top speed wise , and on corners tempesta,nero and re7b demolish it,in racing situations save up for nero or tempesta, I personally bought both versions of itali gtb to finish my super car collection, but custom version is growing on me and i really like driving it in freeroam but i will never use it in races.

I wouldn't say disappointed after a few races last night the custom is definitely faster round fast flowing circuits, tight technical track that's where the non bennies version comes out on top.

The 811 is still faster acceleration and top speed, but the handling sucks on the 811. 7b was actually a tad slower on the drag.

Imo not the fastest yet a good contender, all depends on the track

Time to change the wheels and tires of this beauty and go back to the track! (this car is very fun to drive on a racetrack, great traction in the corners but you have to adapt your speed to not go out track.)

Now, time to test it with a friend! (the same m8 with the pic of the drifting elegy retro.)

If you mean that like the Bestia that it's butt ugly, then yes yes it is
