The '''Sentinel XS''' is | The '''Sentinel XS''' is a sportier variant of the regular [[Sentinel]] luxury car. It has appeared in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] so far. | ||

Ever since the Sentinel | Ever since the Sentinel's introduction in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]], a sportier variant has been present in every GTA game, excluding [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]]. In GTA III and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|Liberty City Stories]], only the [[Leone Family]] gang members drive this car, and it is therefore known as the [[Mafia Sentinel]] and Leone Sentinel, respectively. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Sentinel XS is the preferred gang car of the [[Mendez Cartel]]. | ||
The Sentinel XS's main visual distinction from the regular Sentinel is its spoiler and rear window grilles; performance-wise, the car is faster than the regular Sentinel. The Sentinel XS in GTA Vice City and Vice City Stories is based on the BMW M5. | |||

Its visual differences include "XS" badging, and a rear spoiler sporting "STD" decals. STD stands for "Sentinel Tuning Division", likely a play on Subaru's STi marque and BMW's in-house tuning division, BMW M, but also a reference to the acronym for "sexually transmitted disease". The features of the GTA IV Sentinel XS emulate the BMW M3 GTR. | ||
