}}The '''Admiral''' is a four-door sedan featured in both the [[3D Universe]] and [[HD Universe]]. It is manufactured by [[Dundreary]] in the HD Universe.

===3D Universe===
  +
{{Quote|Efficient German cruiser. Popular with commuter belt middle men.|GTA Vice City Website.}}In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]'', the car assumes the form of a small luxury sedan resembling a {{WP|Mercedes-Benz W123}}, with a rear fascia similar to a {{WP|BMW 3 Series (E30)|BMW E30}}. In ''GTA San Andreas'', it appears to feature a minor 1990s facelift. Its design remains unchanged otherwise throughout the [[3D Universe]].
   
  +
===''Grand Theft Auto IV''===
The [[Dundreary]] '''Admiral''' is a 4-door sedan featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]].
 
  +
In ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', the [[Dundreary]] Admiral sports a completely different design, now designed as a full-size luxury car similar to the [[Washington]] and [[Oracle]]. It features an American design with very subtle Japanese and German styling cues, mainly resembling a cross between a {{WP|Mercury Grand Marquis#Fourth generation (2003–2011)|2003–2005 Mercury Grand Marquis}}, {{WP|Toyota Crown#Ninth generation (S140; 1991)|ninth-generation Toyota Crown}}, and a {{WP|Infiniti Q45#Second generation (Y33; 1997–2000)|second generation Infiniti Q45}}, with minor influences from the {{WP|Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W202)}}, particularly the headlights. The front bumper seems to be borrowed from the {{WP|Ford Crown Victoria#Second generation (EN114; 1998–2012)|second generation Ford Crown Victoria}}, evident by the lower grille, however, with a flatter profile, similar to the {{WP|Lincoln LS}}. The grille of the car is a mix of the Grand Marquis, W202, and the {{WP|Cadillac de Ville series#Eighth generation (2000–2005)|eighth-generation Cadillac de Ville}}. On the bonnet, the Admiral features an ornament that seems to be borrowed from either the Mercedes or the de Ville. The rear fascia seems to be a blend of the Crown's rear, Infiniti Q45 rear and the {{WP|Toyota Corona#Corona Premio (T210; 1996)|Toyota Corona Premio}} rear. The tail lights have a similar layout and shape to the {{WP|Toyota Camry#V10 (1982–1986)|1982–1986 Toyota Camry (V10)}}; however, the main light is divided and a badge is featured on the reverse light, similar to the {{WP|Buick Riviera#Sixth generation (1979–1985)|sixth-generation Buick Riviera}}. The C-pillar and the roof line are identical to the ones found on the {{WP|Lincoln Town Car#Third generation (FN145; 1998–2011)|third-generation Lincoln Town Car}}. Interestingly, the Admiral appears to be a long-wheelbase model. Certain design cues were carried over from the 3D Universe Admiral, most notably the turn signals at the front and rear, which wrap around the back and side of both renditions of the vehicle.
   
  +
The Admiral is equipped with a [[GPS]] system with a male voice, but only if the player leaves the "selected cars" (default) option in the audio menu.
==Design==
 
In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City Stories, the car resembles a 1980s [[wp:Mercedes-Benz W123|Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W123)]], with a front facia similar to the [[wp:Volvo_200_Series|Volvo 240]].<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%2780-%2782_Volvo_240DL_Sedan.JPG]</ref><ref>[http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/3496/t237200-real-life-cars-vice-city-cars-similarities/2.htm]</ref> In GTA San Andreas, it appears to feature a minor 1990s facelift, although in reality, at this point of time, the W123 was replaced by the [[wp:Mercedes-Benz W124|Mercedes-Benz W124]]. The design remains unchanged throughout [[3D Universe]].
 
   
  +
===''Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars''===
In GTA IV, the Admiral sports a completely different design with no reminiscence to the previous renditions. Gone with the Mercedes appearance, it is now based on the [[wp:Mercury_Grand_Marquis#Fourth_generation_.282003.E2.80.932011.29|2003-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis]] with taillights from the [[wp:Toyota Crown|11th generation Toyota Crown]], having some minor influences from the [[wp:Audi A8|2001 Audi A8]]. Interestingly, the Admiral appears to be a long wheelbase model, despite the fact that the long wheelbase Grand Marquis was only availible in the Middle East.
 
  +
In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]'', the design of the car depends on the platform:
  +
*In the [[Nintendo DS]] version, The Admiral resembles a {{WP|Mercedes-Benz W210|Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W210)}}, and as such it can be considered as a predecessor to the [[Schafter]].
  +
*In the [[PlayStation Portable]] version, the car appears closer to the ''GTA IV'' rendition than the DS version was, although significantly blockier in look and still retaining a major Mercedes influence in its design.

==Performance==
  +
===3D Universe===
In the GTA III-era, 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, in contrast to the E-Class or Volvo 200 which are both rear-wheel drive, making it quite suspectible to understeer. The GTA Vice City and San Andreas renditions has the same engine sound as the [[Sentinel]], while the GTA Vice City Stories rendition has the same engine sound as the [[Landstalker]] and the [[Patriot]].
 
  +
In the 3D Universe, 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, in contrast to the Mercedes 190 or BMW E30 which are both rear-wheel drive, making it quite susceptible to understeer. However, in the transaction cutscene in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|Vice City]], one can notice that after [[Tommy Vercetti|Tommy]] leaps in through the window and [[Ken Rosenberg|Rosenberg]] drives away, the rear wheels swirl before he drives away.
   
  +
In ''GTA Vice City Stories'', the Admiral has a slightly better performance in comparison to its other counterparts, as it has a higher top speed and is lighter in mass.
In GTA IV, it is powered by a large V8 engine with a RWD configuration coupled to a 5-speed transmission. Acceleration is good but not great (0-60mph in 7.8 seconds), and handling is as to be expected; the sheer weight and the comfort-oriented suspension does have its disadvantages. The top speed is a rather impressive 172 mph (276kmh). Despite ABS as standard, it takes a long time to stop the heavy saloon completely. The Admiral, however, is very resilient to crashes thanks to its bulky construction. The weight is also useful for ramming other vehicles off the road. The Admiral is rather rare, it is more common to find it in limo form, the [[Stretch]].
 
   
  +
====3D Universe Overview====
In GTA Chinatown Wars, the Admiral retains the performance from GTA IV. There is a purple and white [[Triad]] variant on which sports upgraded acceleration and top speed as well as a smoother engine sound.

==Appearance in missions==
 
  +
In ''GTA IV'', it is powered by what appears to be a large V8 engine, with a RWD configuration coupled to a 5-speed transmission. Acceleration is average and handling is as to be expected; the sheer weight and the comfort-oriented suspension does have its disadvantages. Despite this, the Admiral has decent ground clearance and a wider stance, allowing it to sort out rough surfaces better than most cars in its class. Additionally, the top speed is rather impressive for its type, although it takes a long time to stop the heavy saloon completely after letting off the throttle. However, the car is very resilient to crashes thanks to its bulky construction, and the weight is also useful for ramming other vehicles off the road. This, in addition to its high top speed make it a good vehicle for getaways and pursuits.

Latest revision as of 16:05, 13 March 2024

The Admiral is a four-door sedan featured in both the 3D Universe and HD Universe. It is manufactured by Dundreary in the HD Universe.

Influence

3D Universe

Efficient German cruiser. Popular with commuter belt middle men.
— GTA Vice City Website.

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the car assumes the form of a small luxury sedan resembling a Mercedes-Benz W123, with a rear fascia similar to a BMW E30. In GTA San Andreas, it appears to feature a minor 1990s facelift. Its design remains unchanged otherwise throughout the 3D Universe.

Grand Theft Auto IV

In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Dundreary Admiral sports a completely different design, now designed as a full-size luxury car similar to the Washington and Oracle. It features an American design with very subtle Japanese and German styling cues, mainly resembling a cross between a 2003–2005 Mercury Grand Marquis, ninth-generation Toyota Crown, and a second generation Infiniti Q45, with minor influences from the Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W202), particularly the headlights. The front bumper seems to be borrowed from the second generation Ford Crown Victoria, evident by the lower grille, however, with a flatter profile, similar to the Lincoln LS. The grille of the car is a mix of the Grand Marquis, W202, and the eighth-generation Cadillac de Ville. On the bonnet, the Admiral features an ornament that seems to be borrowed from either the Mercedes or the de Ville. The rear fascia seems to be a blend of the Crown's rear, Infiniti Q45 rear and the Toyota Corona Premio rear. The tail lights have a similar layout and shape to the 1982–1986 Toyota Camry (V10); however, the main light is divided and a badge is featured on the reverse light, similar to the sixth-generation Buick Riviera. The C-pillar and the roof line are identical to the ones found on the third-generation Lincoln Town Car. Interestingly, the Admiral appears to be a long-wheelbase model. Certain design cues were carried over from the 3D Universe Admiral, most notably the turn signals at the front and rear, which wrap around the back and side of both renditions of the vehicle.

The Admiral is equipped with a GPS system with a male voice, but only if the player leaves the "selected cars" (default) option in the audio menu.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the design of the car depends on the platform:

  • In the Nintendo DS version, The Admiral resembles a Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W210), and as such it can be considered as a predecessor to the Schafter.
  • In the PlayStation Portable version, the car appears closer to the GTA IV rendition than the DS version was, although significantly blockier in look and still retaining a major Mercedes influence in its design.

Performance

3D Universe

In the 3D Universe, 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, in contrast to the Mercedes 190 or BMW E30 which are both rear-wheel drive, making it quite susceptible to understeer. However, in the transaction cutscene in Vice City, one can notice that after Tommy leaps in through the window and Rosenberg drives away, the rear wheels swirl before he drives away.

In GTA Vice City Stories, the Admiral has a slightly better performance in comparison to its other counterparts, as it has a higher top speed and is lighter in mass.

Grand Theft Auto IV

In GTA IV, it is powered by what appears to be a large V8 engine, with a RWD configuration coupled to a 5-speed transmission. Acceleration is average and handling is as to be expected; the sheer weight and the comfort-oriented suspension does have its disadvantages. Despite this, the Admiral has decent ground clearance and a wider stance, allowing it to sort out rough surfaces better than most cars in its class. Additionally, the top speed is rather impressive for its type, although it takes a long time to stop the heavy saloon completely after letting off the throttle. However, the car is very resilient to crashes thanks to its bulky construction, and the weight is also useful for ramming other vehicles off the road. This, in addition to its high top speed make it a good vehicle for getaways and pursuits.

    Comparison between the Admiral in the PC version (left) and the PS2 version (right) of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

  • In GTA Vice City Stories, the Admiral shares the same engine and horn with the Landstalker, implying it have a larger engine (presumably a V8) than the other predecessors. It also have the door sounds of older cars, which is odd for a luxury sedan.
  • During the development of GTA Vice City, the car originally had Grand Theft Auto III tyre rims.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

Grand Theft Auto IV

  • In the second Bernie Crane mission known as Union Drive, the Admiral will meet his standards as an "awful and intimidating" vehicle.
  • The Admiral features a hood ornament of the Dundreary corporate badge. This reflects the fact that the Admiral is based on the Grand Marquis, as the LS trim of the latter offered a Limited Edition version from 2003 to 2005, of which one of the features was a Mercury emblem hood ornament.

Grand Theft Auto V

  • The Admiral does not return in Grand Theft Auto V, but wrecked versions can be seen in the scrapyards (also used in GTA IV). Also, the horn sound can be found in the iFruit app files.
