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 suspectible to understeer. The GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas renditions has the same engine sound as the [[Sentinel]], implying it is turbocharged, but the GTA Vice City Stories rendition is different, emitting the same sound as the [[Taxi]] and is not turbocharged, reflecting the game's setting in [[1984]]. All renditions are equipped with a four-cylinder engine.

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 (0-60 mph 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 198 mph (320 km/h). 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]].

“
Efficient German cruiser. Popular with commuter belt middle men.
”
— GTA Vice City Website.
The Admiral is a 4-door executive sedan featured in both 3D Universe and HD Universe. It is manufactured by Dundreary in the HD Universe.
In the 3D Universe, it was originally a compact executive car, while in the HD Universe it is completely redesigned into a larger luxury car.
In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City Stories, the car resembles a 1982-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190, with a front fascia similar to the larger W123 and the rear from a BMW 3 Series E30. In GTA San Andreas, it appears to feature a minor 1990s facelift, although in reality, at this point of time, the 190 was replaced by the newer Mercedes-Benz W202 C-Class. The design remains unchanged throughout 3D Universe, apart from different horn sounds in each game.
In GTA IV, the Dundreary Admiral sports a completely different design with no reminiscence to the previous renditions. It is now designed as a large executive car similar to the Washington. The car features a Japanese-American design that is mainly resembles a cross between a 2003-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis and a 2003 Toyota Crown Majesta, with minor influences from a W140 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, particularly the side accents. Interestingly, the Admiral appears to be a long wheelbase model, despite the fact that the long wheelbase Grand Marquis was only available in the Middle East.
In GTA Chinatown Wars, the design depends of the platform:
In the PSP version, the car looks like the 1992-1997 Ford Crown Victoria, which is very similar to the Stanier. Still, it looks very similar to the IV rendition.
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. The GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas renditions has the same engine sound as the Sentinel, implying it is turbocharged, but the GTA Vice City Stories rendition is different, emitting the same sound as the Taxi and is not turbocharged, reflecting the game's setting in 1984. All renditions are equipped with a four-cylinder engine.
HD Universe
In GTA IV, it is powered by a large V8 engine, probably a 4.6L V8 just like the Stanier and Washington, with a RWD configuration coupled to a 5-speed transmission. Acceleration is good but not great (0-60 mph 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 198 mph (320 km/h). 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.
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.
Modifications
GTA San Andreas
The Admiral can only be modified in a TransFender garage.
If the player jumps out of the Andromada without a parachute during Stowaway, a cutscene plays showing Carl landing on the roof of a parked Admiral, killing him and destroying the Admiral.
Ricardo Diaz owns a grey Admiral, which is parked outside his mansion. Following his death, the vehicle still spawns occasionally, presumably now acquired by Tommy Vercetti.
The Triads are depicted to use the Admiral as one of their cars in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, but they are never used (except in Yu Jian ), but are instead spawned around Cerveza Heights and other nearby places from the start. The violet-white car sports upgraded acceleration and top speed as well as a smoother engine sound and a horn of the higher performance cars like the Banshee.
Parked at a mansion on northwest Starfish Island. Use a helicopter to get into the garden, then use the ramp to get out.
Parked on the left side of the stairs on the Vercetti Mansion after the events of Rub Out. It is usually replacing the Stretch though both the Stretch and the Admiral may also spawn at the same time.
Parked in the alleyway beside the Hotel Harisson after the Introduction where the player first takes control of Tommy Vercetti.
GTA San Andreas
Spawns in any of the metropolitan areas of the state, mostly in Las Venturas.
It is one of the gang cars of the Vance Crime Family, with them driving it mainly around Little Havana and Escobar International Airport. Even though Vic is their leader, if he attempts to steal the car from them, they will shoot at him, as would other gang members whose cars he tries to steal in GTA VCS.
The GTA IV 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.
In GTA IV, a Dundreary logo can be seen in the reverse lights.
In GTA IV, there is a wrecked version of the Admiral.
The Admiral does not return in Grand Theft Auto V, but wrecked versions can be seen in the scrapyards. It was meant to appear in Grand Theft Auto V, but was cut from the game. The horn sound can be found in the iFruit app files.
The Admiral is one of the cars in GTA IV that can dent/deform easily in an accident.
