=== GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars ===

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.

* [[Ken Rosenberg]] drives a unique, pure-white Admiral during the [[Introduction (GTA VC)|introductory sequence]] of GTA Vice City. After the botched deal, Ken drives to [[K. Rosenberg & Co.|his office]] and parks his car in the alleyway next to his office, from which point the player may commandeer it. This is only time a car of this kind is available; this is compounded by the fact that it is fairly difficult to save the car as the player has yet to acquire [[Safehouses in GTA Vice City|a safehouse]] with a garage; the cheapest available safehouse with this feature, the [[Links View Apartment]], costs $6,000 to purchase. Also, the Admiral will disappear if the player abandons it for too long.

* Three black Admirals chases the player in "[[Check Out At The Check In]]", after the player successfully assassinates a target at [[Escobar International Airport|Escobar International]] and retrieves the target's briefcase. Each car contains two occupants, with the passenger emerging from the roof to open fire at the player when the car is close to the player. To obtain the car, the player must shoot dead the rooftop shooter, then set the car on fire using a [[flamethrower]] or [[Molotov Cocktail|Molotov cocktail]] (preferably a flamethrower as a Molotov might destroy the car) to drive out the remaining driver (while ensuring the car is not completely destroyed in the process), gaining access to the car. However, if the player exits the car, the car will automatically lock itself and not allow the player to re-enter. These three Admirals are also super-heavy until the end of the mission, regardless whether the player passes or fails.

* Similarly, two black Admirals can be found during "[[Loose Ends]]", at a [[Little Havana]] compound where the player must fight his way to a target. Although the car is unlocked, the car cannot be normally driven away as the only gate large enough for the car to leave is half-opened. Like the black Pony in the same compound, players will need to obtain two [[Packer]]s, using one Packer to boost the second Packer over the gate, so the second Packer can be used to ramp the Admiral out of the compound.

==== GTA Chinatown Wars ====

In addition to regular Admirals, dark purple Admirals with cream tops commonly spawn parked in [[Algonquin Triads|Triad]] territories, more specifically, in territories and properties belonging to [[Kenny Lee]]; the cars may thus qualify as gang cars for the Lee Triads alongside the Triad [[Hellenbach]], even though the car does not spawn in traffic to indicate who drives it. The only time it's ever seen driven by NPCs is during the introduction sequence.

* The GTA IV rendition features the [["Door Ajar" Chime]] when the door is open. It can be heard in quiet areas with the volume turned up.

* In perfect condition this car can be sold in the [[S&M Auto Sales]] for $2,500 in GTA IV after completing [[Stevie's Car Thefts]].

* Leftover coding of "admiral2" can be found in [[The Lost and Damned|The Lost and Damned's]] game files. The nature of the code is unknown, but is speculated to be intended for a dropped second variant of the car. It may be speculated that this variant would've been modeled off after the older Mercedes-based Admiral as had with the [[Faggio]] in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] with it's "Classic" design and newer design existing within the game.
