The Mafia Sentinel is evidently a four-door sedan based on the games' renditions of the Sentinel, resembling a real-life mid-1990s [[:wp:BMW|BMW]] 5-series, possibly a BMW M5, which is a high performance version of the 5-series; the Mafia Sentinel is also related to the sporty [[Sentinel XS]] variants in later games. It is essentially a tuned version of the Sentinel, with a bodykit, tinted windows, and blinds over the rear window. Its paintjob is always dark gray in GTA III and black in GTA Liberty City Stories, and cannot be resprayed into any other color in a [[Pay 'n' Spray]]. In the strategy guide for GTA Liberty City Stories, pictures of a white Leone Sentinel can be seen. Like any gang car, attempts to steal one with a Leone Family member inside will result in surrounding peers attacking the player.

*A burning [[wreck]] of a Mafia Sentinel (as indicated by its spoiler and grilled rear windsheild) is seen during [[Introduction (GTA III)|GTA III's introduction]]. The car is painted turquoise instead of a Mafia Sentinel's regular dark grey color.
