The Leone Sentinel (also known as the Mafia Sentinel) is a gang vehicle used by the Leone Crime Family in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Design[]

Grand Theft Auto III & Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]

The Mafia Sentinel is evidently a four-door resembling a real-life BMW E36 3 Series, but this car was closely resembling a cross between BMW E36 M3 and E34 M5, and the spoiler of a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution I - VI or Diamante/Magna. The Mafia Sentinel is also related to the sporty Sentinel XS variants in later games.

It is essentially a tuned version of the Sentinel, with a bodykit, tinted windows, and blinds over the rear window. Its paintjob is always jet black in Grand Theft Auto III and dark grey in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and it cannot be resprayed into any other color at a Pay 'n' Spray. In the strategy guide for GTA III, pictures of a white Leone Sentinel can be seen. In the GTA III mission Give Me Liberty, there is a blue blown-up Mafia Sentinel from the GTA III beta. The car also has a different horn than its stock counterpart.

Performance[]

Grand Theft Auto III & Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]

In Grand Theft Auto III, the car is powered by a turbocharged V6 engine, while in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, it has a supercharged V8 engine.

Handling is slightly sharpened, whilst average speed is noticeably quicker over its stock counterpart. Its performance coupled with its four occupant capacity makes this an ideal car for bank jobs, street racing and attacks on rival gangs. The only downside is that its durability is very low; even a straight head-on collision will cause the engine to emit white smoke. The GTA Liberty City Stories rendition has a supercharged engine which emits the same engine noise as the Sentinel XS, the Windsor and the Hotring Racer ("hotrinb" version). Similar to the real-life BMW M5 and M3, both renditions are rear-wheel drive. According to the files, the GTA III rendition is lighter than the GTA Liberty City Stories rendition, at 1700kg, whereas the GTA Liberty City Stories version weighs 1900kg.

Variants[]

Mafiablood[]

An unused variant of the Leone Sentinel, internally named "Mafiablood", exists in the files of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. It uses the GTA III textures, with splatters of blood added on the windshield and parts of the interior – in similar fashion to the Corpse Manana. It is speculated that it was originally going to be used in The Made Man mission.

Prominent Appearances in Gameplay[]

Grand Theft Auto III[]

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]

Locations[]

Like it is the case with any gang car, attempts to steal one with a Leone Family member inside will result in surrounding peers hostile to the player.

Grand Theft Auto III[]

  • Two are parked outside Salvatore's Mansion, just northwest of Saint Mark's, Portland.
  • One is parked in an alleyway opposite the Mafia rampage, central Saint Mark's, Portland.
  • It can be found driven around by the Mafia in Saint Mark's, though it is extremely difficult to obtain after Sayonara Salvatore is completed, because the Leones become hostile to the player. However, some Mafia Sentinels can be seldom seen around the borders between Saint Mark's and Chinatown.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]

  • One is parked at Mrs Cipriani's residence in Saint Mark's, Portland.
  • One is parked outside Salvatore's Mansion, just northwest of Saint Mark's, Portland (usually beside a PCJ-600).
  • One is parked in the car park outside Marco's Bistro in Saint Mark's, Portland.
  • It can be found driven around Saint Mark's, Red Light District, and occasionally in Chinatown.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • While the car does not appear in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, its handling name still appears in the files. It is possibly reused for the Sentinel XS, as both shares similar traits and performance.
