"What a great car. Always wanted one of these."
- Official Vice City Bureau of Investigation file description.

The Stinger is a two-door sports car which originally debuted in the original Grand Theft Auto, and recurred in the form of different designs. To date, the Stinger has appeared in the following games:

Description

GTA 1 — GTA 2

In GTA 1, the Stinger based on the 1968-1972 Chevrolet Corvette (the name is a reference to the Corvette Stingray). In GTA 2 it's based on the 1963 Corvette Split-Window. It can only be found in the Industrial District of Anywhere City, and gives the ElectroFingers power-up when crushed. Both iterations of the Stinger handle well, respond suitably, and stick to the road. The car is therefore almost always a decent choice should you be able to find one.

GTA 1.
GTA 2 (In-game with lights).

GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories

In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the Stinger appears in hard-top and convertible form. Its performance is better than most vehicles, but is the least powerful of all the 2-door sports cars, with little tendency to drift. Its Yakuza variant, the Yakuza Stinger, handles better and is all-wheel-drive, as opposed to the stock cars, which are rear-drive. The Stinger bears a passing resemblance to several different cars, including the Porsche Boxster,Toyota MR2 Spyder, TVR Chimaera and Lexus SC. The Yakuza Stinger is used by the Japanese mafia and customized in the import tuner style, both of which might imply that the Stinger is made in Japan. A working name given to the Stinger in GTA III is "Shark", as evidenced in the "official" website for Capital Autos [1].

In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, it resembles a 1968-1973 Ferrari Daytona Spyder, an apparent homage to Sonny Crockett's Ferrari Daytona Spyder replica, yet another one of GTA Vice City's references to Miami Vice.

Trivia

The yellow Stinger in a pre-release screenshot for GTA Liberty City Stories.

In the beta version of GTA Liberty City Stories, there was a yellow Stinger supposedly reserved for use by the Sicilian Mafia. White Stingers, which are also available in normal traffic, are used instead in the finished version of the game.
The GTA Vice City rendition of the Stinger made an appearance in Manhunt 2.
