Yakuza Stinger

The Yakuza Stinger is the Yakuza customized gang car. The car appears in the three Liberty City based games: Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance (as the Yakuza) and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Description

The Yakuza Stinger is a variant of the Stinger, sporting a red and white paintjob in GTA III and a red and baby blue paintjob in GTA Liberty City Stories, as well as an additional spoiler. It also appears only in hardtop form, as opposed to some Stingers, which are depicted as softtop convertibles with or without a top.

Performance of the Yakuza Stinger in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories is equivalent to the Stinger's, if not better. Its speed is considerably moderate by sports car standards, coupled with stable handling and good grip. The Yakuza Stinger in GTA III is also all-wheel-drive, in comparison to a conventional Stinger, which is rear-wheel-drive (The GTA Liberty City Stories rendition only has rear wheel drive). The Yakuza Stinger is thus less prone to tailspins than the Stinger.

The Asukamobile in GTA Advance.

In Grand Theft Auto Advance the player can receive Asuka Kasen's Yakuza (dubbed the "Asukamobile") in the mission Down The River. To get the car you need to complete the mission with at least 19 Mafia thugs. The car has an unique metallic blue color, and it handles much better than the normal Yakuza. It is the second fastest vehicle in the game along with the FBI Car, their maximum speed is 187 MPH. If the player gets the car to Pay 'n' Spray it will loose it's unique color. It also should be noted that it's impossible to store the vehicle until the end of the game, since the player can't use garages to store vehicles.
