Description

GTA Vice City — San Andreas

In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City Stories, the car resembles a 1980s Mercedes-Benz W123. In GTA San Andreas, it appears to feature a minor 1990s facelift.

Performance wise, the car is generally acceptable with light weight, stable handling, and good acceleration and top speed, to the point it is offered as a starter car which the player may first control in GTA Vice City. Surprisingly, it is front-wheel drive, which is the biggest difference from the original W123.

GTA IV

In GTA IV, the Admiral retains its 4-door sedan form, and is manufactured by Dundreary. Its chassis generally resembles that of the Mercury Grand Maquis or third generation Lincoln Town Car, albeit with a more even roof; the front of the car, in particular, resembles the Grand Maquis, while the tail-lights resemble those of the 1982-1986 Toyota Camry. The Admiral also serves as the base chassis for the GTA IV Stretch.

The GTA IV version of the car generally performs as one would expect from a large, heavy sedan, in comparison to its previous renditions' smaller lighter counterparts. While possessing good horsepower, the vehicle's weight hampers its acceleration and handling but provides the car better endurance.

GTA Chinatown Wars It has an old engine and is believed to resemble the GTA III Era Admiral. Some drug dealers store drugs in the trunk of Admirals. In the drug dealing screens, the rear of the car is depicted as looking like an 80s Lincoln.

It generally resembles

Indestructible Admirals

GTA Vice City

In GTA Vice City, during a Colonel Cortez mission named "Guardian Angels", Ricardo Diaz arrives at the deal location with his personal car and three bodyguards. If the player kills Diaz and his bodyguards, thus failing the mission, they can take the Admiral to a garage and keep it.

The virtually indestructible vehicle can be very useful in a missions such as "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 catch fire and explode when it flips over, like all other cars.

If the player uses the car, it is recommended that they don't leave it anywhere, even if it's close to their position, the game will most likely make it disappear - unless it is stored in a garage.

GTA San Andreas

The indestructible admiral was carried over to San Andreas. As the same as VC it can only be found in one particular mission namely Los Desperados. Take a tow truck save it in the garage, then when the mission starts head over to the garage retrive the tow truck, drive over to the cemetary, shoot the Los Aztecas to fail the mission, then tow it to garage and save it.
