* [[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. | * [[Ken Rosenberg]] drives a unique, pure-white Admiral during the [[Introduction (GTA VC)|introductory sequence]] of GTA Vice City.

The car also features leftovers of design ideas prior to the release of GTA Vice City, with a different frontal grille design, and [[Vehicle License Plates|Liberty City license plates]] and wheels with sports rims carried over from [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]]. | ||
* A gray Admiral outside [[Vercetti Estate|Diaz' Mansion/the Vercetti Estate]] will occasionally spawn on the western portion of the mansion's driveway in place of the [[Stretch]]. The abovementioned indestructible Admiral in "[[Guardian Angels]]" also appears with this color. | * A gray Admiral outside [[Vercetti Estate|Diaz' Mansion/the Vercetti Estate]] will occasionally spawn on the western portion of the mansion's driveway in place of the [[Stretch]].

* 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. | * 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.

* 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. | * 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.
