The Annis RE-7B is a two-door endurance racing car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Cunning Stunts update.
Influence[]
The RE-7B is heavily inspired by multiple endurance racing cars, primarily the Nissan R390 GT1 and Mazda 787B, as well as the Aquila CR1 and Memo Rojas BMW. The headlamps bear a striking resemblance to the headlamp designs on the 2014 Audi R18 e-tron Quattro.
Liveries[]
- The "Estancia" livery is based on the Renown 787B.
- The "Pegasus" livery is based on the Silk Cut Jaguar XJR-9.
Design[]
The design of the RE-7B is very low-profile and aerodynamic, featuring a very sloped front end with dual intakes on the lower side, and numerous vents on the bonnet and next to the bulky front fenders. The outer areas of the car feature a dual set of square lamps, one stacked over another, giving the impression of vertical LED strips.
The sides of the car are mostly dominated by rear-facing ducts on the front fenders and dual vents on the rear fenders, followed by smaller slatted vents on the lower area and dual side-exit exhausts directly in front of the rear arches. The car has gullwing doors in a similar manner to the Osiris. The cabin area has a narrow, curved profile, featuring a curved windscreen with a single wiper, pillars and rear-quarter panels finished in black, and a fully-enclosed rear engine bay with two small black intakes and slatted upper vents over the rear fenders. A set of rounded mirror shells can be seen over the front fenders.
The rear of the car has the corresponding turn and reverse tail lamps on the fender area, while the centre has the chassis frames with a large racing spoiler attached to it. The entire underside of the vehicle is fully plated, with an integrated two-element diffuser and two outer panels for the rear-facing brake light strips.
The interior of the car makes use of several race-type components, being a carbon-fibre dashboard, steel flooring and carbon-fibre, lightweight seats. The RE-7B includes many switches and buttons across the interior, and features a knob reading F/R for adjusting brake bias more towards the front or rear accordingly. The steering wheel itself includes multiple buttons, and directly behind that are two paddles for an apparent paddle-shift gearbox. Two RPM indicators can be seen on the centre of the dashboard and below the digital display on the driver side. Also, a radio is seen located on the dashboard, almost on the centre.
The primary colour of the car is applied on the bodywork and the stitching on the steering wheel, while the secondary color is applied on the inner rear frames. Like the ETR1, the RE-7B features racing slicks with Atomic markings for the stock wheels, with the rims being star-shaped rims with a red centre and a bolted-on surrounding.
The liveries have the following sponsors:
- Estancia
- Annis
- Estancia Cigars
- International Online Unlimited
- Pißwasser
- Pump & Run Gymnasium
- Shark
- Vom Feuer

Performance[]
Being an endurance racing car, the vehicle performs well, as it has higher than average top speed, and acceleration is also impressive. However, it struggles to give the car faster take-off, partly due to the lack of traction and the weight. It is also affected by the high wheel-spin due to its immense power, which can result in a delay before the RE-7B can get going, therefore being problematic for races. Braking is also poor and requires more time to brake from speed. At higher speeds, the RE-7B corners incredibly fast compared to other supercars, but struggles at lower speed corners when the air passing over the car and the massive spoiler upgrade is not enough to keep the tyres planted and retain enough grip, causing some slight understeer. Furthermore, it has weak durability against harsh collisions as without armor upgrades, it can greatly hinder the RE-7B's performance. Overall, despite the setbacks, the RE-7B is consistently competitive on proper racing circuits, but not so much on streets with congested traffic.
The vehicle has a powerful engine, being relatively high-revving and high pitch for its style (somewhat similar to cars like the Cheetah), and the car tends to backfire through its side exhausts. A 6-speed gearbox provides transmission to the rear wheels.

Trivia[]
- The RE in the car's name may stand for Rotary Engine, considering its real life counterpart, the Mazda 787B, is powered by such engine.
- The RE-7B is not road-legal as it does not include any license plates.
Oversights[]
- The RE-7B appeared to have been released with a bug that causes the carbon fiber spoiler to compress the suspension to such a degree that it increases the car's speed far beyond that of any other. The only land vehicle able to beat an RE-7B thus equipped in a drag race is the Hakuchou, and it is capable of doing so only while performing a wheelie. As a result, the RE-7B was peerless in the Super category (and any other).
- This was patched in 1.36, so the spoiler cannot compress the car's suspension more than it should.
- It is possible to remove the RE-7B's spoiler through a glitch, in which the player has to rapidly scroll through spoiler options and select the "Stock" option, as it will change to "None" for a split second.
- Applying custom wheels cuts the rear wheel width in half.
