(Leave the assumption until the game comes out and confirms if the HUD calls it a "Sentinel XS". We had a Sentinel "XS" in GTA4, but the game only calls it a "Sentinel". Same deal here.)

The Sentinel XS is a sportier variant of the regular Sentinel luxury car in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The car is related to the Mafia/Leone Sentinel, gang car of the Leone Family in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

A Sentinel "XS" also exists in Grand Theft Auto IV, although it is officially referred to as a "Sentinel" by the game, not a "Sentinel XS". Refer the Sentinel article for the GTA IV rendition.

Description

"You try paying for a high-end one of these - and alimony."
- Official Vice City Bureau of Investigation file description, GTA Vice City.[1]


Ever since the Sentinel's introduction in GTA III, a sportier variant has been present in every GTA game, excluding GTA San Andreas. The Sentinel XS's main visual distinction from the regular Sentinel is its spoiler and rear window grilles; performance-wise, the car is faster than the regular Sentinel, suggestively alluding on the BMW M5, although the car, like regular Sentinels, is still visually similar to the E23 7 Series BMW, which was not used in the M5 series. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Sentinel XS is not given the same aesthetic modification as the game's Sentinel, resulting in the car appearing more distinctive in the game. The Sentinel XS also emit a different engine sound than the regular Sentinel.

The Sentinel XS is the preferred gang car of the Mendez Cartel in GTA Vice City Stories.
