Admiral: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:01, 10 February 2009

The Admiral' is the old Mercedes-Benz W123 analogue seen in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto IV. In GTA San Andreas, it appears to have a little 90's "makeup". Surprisingly, it is front-wheel drive, which is the biggest difference from the original W123. The Admiral is the first car available in Vice City. The Dundreary Admiral is a 4-door Luxury Sedan, easily found in Bohan or Dukes, which appears in Grand Theft Auto IV. It serves as the base chassis for the Stretch in GTA IV.

The Admiral is one of the faster and stronger saloons in GTA:IV and is one of the cars featured in online play.

Renditions

In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories, the car resembles a 1980s Mercedes-Benz W123.
In GTA IV, the front resembles a Mercury Grand Marquis with some influence from a '80s' Mercedes, the chassis could either be a Mercury Grand Marquis or a Lincoln Town Car (but with a more even roof), the taillights could be from an '80s Mercedes or even a 1982–1986 Toyota Camry that has been modernized. The Stretch is now the Limo version.

The Indestructible Admiral

In GTA:VC, during a Colonel Cortez mission named "Guardian Angel", Ricardo Diaz arrives on the deal location with his personal car and three bodyguards. Use your assault gun against them, take the car and drive it to a garage to keep it. However, keep in mind that if you do this you will fail the mission.

The virtually indestructible vehicle can be very useful in a few missions like "Death Row" or other challenging pursuits which require going into a hostile area. Although the Admiral is indestructible, there are a few weaknesses:

The front window is breakable.
The tires can blow and the car will explode when it flips over, like all other cars.

If you use the car, don't leave it somewhere, even if it's close to your position. The game will most likely make it disappear.
