The Police Stinger is a high-performance police car available during multiplayer in Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony.

Description

Design

The Police Stinger is based on the Albany Presidente, but features unique bodywork and a pearlescent paint job, similar to that of the [Cadillac CTS used by the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan Police Department]. The front end has been slightly modified and features high intensity discharge headlamps, and a different grille characterized by its chevron shaped bar in the middle. The car's emergency vehicle lighting comes in the form of a slim light bar on the top, and hidden lights in the front bumper and rear window.

Performance

The car performs rather well, emulating the Cadillac CTS-V, and despite having the same V10 badging as the Korean Mob Presidente variant, it has a noticeably different engine note, comparable to that of the civilian Buffalo. Unlike any other police vehicle, the car can reach speeds beyond even exotic sports vehicles such as the Comet; its acceleration is also excellent, matching the Turismo, although not quite matching the Sultan RS. The handling is above-average for a vehicle of its weight.

Trivia

  • The Banshee can match the speed of the Police Stinger on a straight drag race like in the Airport or Star Junction.

Locations

  • In the parking lot of the police headquarters in East Holland, Algonquin, during multiplayer's Free Mode.
  • In the parking lot of the large police station in Alderney, during multiplayer's Free Mode.
