The Yakuza Stinger is the Yakuza customized gang car featured in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance (as the Yakuza) and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Design[]

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

The Yakuza Stinger is a variant of the Stinger, sporting a red and grey paint job in Grand Theft Auto III and a red and baby blue paint job in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, as well as an additional spoiler. It also appears only in its hardtop form, as opposed to some Stingers, which are depicted as convertibles with or without a top up.

Prior to the release of GTA III, the car was also known as the "Yakuza"; this name remains in use on the official Rockstar North website.

Grand Theft Auto Advance[]

In Grand Theft Auto Advance, the Yakuza Stinger can appear with three paint jobs - a red and white one, a yellow and red one, and a blue and green one. It has also a different engine sound than in the other two Liberty City related games.

Performance[]

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

In Grand Theft Auto III, the Yakuza Stinger retains the moderate top speed and excellent grip of the civilian counterpart, but it has faster acceleration, and also weaker handling. In corners that the regular Stinger can clear with ease, the Yakuza Stinger requires use of the handbrake to control the understeer. The Yakuza Stinger is also harder to drift with, as it will only slide for as long as the handbrake was held.

In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the Yakuza Stinger is one of the fastest cars in the game along with the Infernus and the Cheetah. Compared to other sports cars, the Yakuza Stinger is exceptionally durable and can take more damage before destroyed, being one of the most durable cars, along with the Cartel Cruiser and the Triad Fish Van.

Description

In Grand Theft Auto Advance the player can receive Asuka Kasen's Yakuza (dubbed the "Asukamobile") in the mission Down the River. To get the car, the player needs to complete the mission with at least 19 Mafia thugs. The car has an unique metallic blue color, and it handles much better than the normal Yakuza. It is the second fastest vehicle in the game along with the FBI Car.


Prominent Appearances in Missions[]

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]

  • Shogun Showdown - After entering the Rhino, the Yakuza men try to block the player's path parking two Yakuza Stingers at the gate.
  • More Deadly Than the Male - Five can be found around the docks during the mission, two blocking the entrance and three more on the dock itself.
  • Cash in Kazuki's Chips - Tha Yakuza members ambush Toni inside the compound arriving in two Yakuza Stingers. More Yakuza Stingers then pursue the player on their way to The Big Shot Casino.

Locations[]

Grand Theft Auto III[]

  • In Asuka Kasen's condo parking lot in Newport, Staunton Island. There will be two of them; one near the entrance to the porch, another near the main entrance of the building.
  • In the car park of the AMCo. building in Torrington, Staunton Island (sometimes locked).
  • Kenji's Casino in Torrington, Staunton Island (sometimes locked).
  • Staunton Plaza in Fort Staunton, Staunton Island (after Grand Theft Aero). There will be three Yakuza Stingers; two in front of the second building that houses a health and armor pickup, and another near the lift.
  • The vehicle also spawns anywhere in Torrington. Care must be taken when jacking the cars because, like other gang members, if another Yakuza Stinger is nearby, the gang members will pursue Claude and crash the car, and Yakuza members in the vicinity will begin to attack.

Grand Theft Auto Advance[]

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]

Trivia[]

General[]

  • All three games in which the car appears feature it with a red and white paint job, which is a clear homage to the colors of the flag of Japan, where the Yakuza hail from.

Grand Theft Auto III[]

Grand Theft Auto Advance[]

  • In GTA Advance, it has the same horn as the Police Car and the music played in the car is Numb - "How It's Done" from KREZ, Grand Theft Auto 2.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]

  • In GTA Liberty City Stories, the Yakuza Stinger has the door sounds of older cars, despite being a sports car. The same trait is also shared with the Kuruma and the Blista.
