In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City Stories, the car resembles a 1980s [[wp:Mercedes-Benz W123|Mercedes-Benz W123]]. In GTA San Andreas, it appears to feature a minor 1990s facelift, although in reality, at this point of time, the W123 was replaced by the [[wp:Mercedes-Benz W124|Mercedes-Benz W124]].

Performance wise, the car is generally acceptable with light weight, stable handling, and good acceleration and top speed, to the point it is [[In The Beginning...|offered as a starter car which the player may first control in GTA Vice City]]. Surprisingly, it is front-wheel drive, which is the biggest difference from the original W123. The GTA Vice City Stories Admiral has a different engine from the GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City renditions.

The Admiral also serves as the base chassis for the GTA IV [[Stretch]], similar to how the Chrysler 300 and Lincoln Town Car are often modified to serve as limos. The reverse lights feature the Dundreary logo, however, they are absent on the Stretch.

The GTA IV version of the car generally performs as one would expect from a large, heavy sedan, in comparison to its previous renditions' smaller lighter counterparts. While possessing good horsepower, the vehicle's weight hampers its acceleration and handling but provides the car with better endurance. Its top speed is about 140 km/h (87 mph).


In GTA Chinatown Wars, the Admiral takes on an older form, arguably appearing like an old Lincoln, similar to the [[Marbelle]]; however, the rear is unlike any Lincoln or Mercedes. Some drug dealers in the [[Drug Dealing|drug dealing side mission]] also store drugs in the trunks of Admirals, showing off a rear that resembles that of a 1980s Lincoln. The car also emits a clunky engine noise, which is a probable testament to its age. Thus, the styling of the car is best described as a vague mix of the GTA IV and pre-GTA IV renditions.

Performance of the car is average, with a decent top speed, acceleration and handling.
