The Albany 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.
Performance
In GTA III era, the Admiral is a stellar performer for its class. Good acceleration accompanied by gripping steering makes it a good escape car and the 4-door design is good for mission drives.
In GTA IV, it is slow and hard to stop due to its weight. It is powered by a mid-range V8 engine with a RWD configuration coupled to a 5-speed transmission. Acceleration is mediocre and handling feels heavy. Despite ABS is standard, it takes a long time to stop the heavy sedan to a complete stop. 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 mediocre 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.
Design
The admiral in the GTA III era has had the similar design as the Mercedes-Benz W123/300D (specifically the European-spec due to the square headlamps instead of the US-spec model with rounded headlights). It is considered one of the best cars in GTA Vice City as a white variant is given as a starter car. The design remains unchanged throughout GTA III era.
In GTA IV, the Admiral sports a completely different design with no reminiscent to the previous renditions. Gone with the Mercedes appearance and it is now based on the second generation Ford Crown Victoria with a very different taillight cluster. It is the heaviest and largest of the three modern Albany sedans (Presidente and Washington).
In GTA Chinatown wars, the Admiral still retains its Ford Crown Victoria design, but a different year; specifically the 1983-1991 models.
