The Borgnine is a taxi that is available in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Advance, which is only available to the player after a mandatory requirement of 100 completed taxi fares. The Borgnine is a modified Cabbie, with bloody spikes in the front and rear bumpers. The Borgnine's handling is far superior to that of the car it's based on.
The Borgnine's name is a homage to Ernest Borgnine, who stared in the 1981 movie Escape from New York as a cab driver named "Cabbie" in a prison-converted Manhattan. The Borgnine's bumpers are perhaps a nod to Cabbie's hazardous profession in the crime-infested prison.
