Sentinel

A Sentinel in GTA III (Rear quarter view).

The Sentinel is a luxury sedan introduced in Grand Theft Auto III. Originally appearing as a four-door car, the Sentinel assumes the design of a two-door coupe in Grand Theft Auto IV. In GTA Advance the vehicle is the gang car of the Leone Family.

To date, the Sentinel has appeared in the following games:

Design

GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories

The Sentinel resembles a 1996-2003 BMW 5 Series sedan (specifically the 528i) in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories. Whilst, in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories it resembles a BMW 7 Series E23, as well as a BMW 7 Series E32 in GTA San Andreas.

GTA IV

The Sentinel in GTA IV is manufactured by Übermacht and modeled after the BMW 3 Series E46 coupe, most likely the 2001-2006 M3, due to the bumper design. The tail lights seem inspired by the older E36 3 Series.

After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Sentinel fetching $2,500.

Performance

GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories

The Sentinel handles well, with its rear-drive layout sometimes leading to over steer. The Sentinel has a V6 engine in all of the GTA III Era games. It is generally found throughout the business districts of all the cities. However, some can be seen driving in the general suburbs, and sometimes in the wealthy parts of town.

GTA IV

The Sentinel in GTA IV, in its newer design as a modern sports coupe, reaches a top speed of 192mph - not far from the fastest vehicle in the game. It reaches 60mph in 6.5 seconds which is above average and also reaches its top speed fairly quickly as well. It is the best choice in the Modern category in a multiplayer race. The suspension is rather soft and it tends to roll when going round tighter bends at high speed. The handling is superior to many vehicles, but at high speeds, it loses a lot of grip and spins out of control very easily.


Indestructible Sentinel GTA SA

In Grand Theft Auto San Andreas there is a chance to get a indestructible sentinel that does not require cheats. The Green Sabre is where the player can get one. once you are under the mulholland intersection pick one of the sentinel and take a SMG and start shooting at it. You will notice two things, the sentinel will start to lose it's body parts and there will be white smoking that is coming then disappearing, once the right rear door has fallen off take it to a garage either wait for sweet to die or simply kill yourself. Then after that return to your garage and the sentinel will be there except that it is Bullet,Fire,Explosion,Damage proof.

NOTE The sentinel is immune to everything except

  • Smashing in to a Rhino
  • flipping the car upside down
  • or simply leaving it out in the open and other people will steal it.
