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. 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. Acceleration is average and handling is as to be expected the sheer weight and the comfort-oriented suspension does have its disadvantages. 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. 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 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. 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.
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. Interestingly, the Admiral appears to be a long wheelbase model.
The rear design seems to be influenced by the BMW E23. It features a Japanese-American design with subtle German styling cues, mainly resembling a cross between a 2003-2005 Mercury Grand Marquis and a 2003 Toyota Crown Majesta, with minor influences from the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W140), particularly the side accents. 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.
Its design remains unchanged otherwise throughout the 3D Universe. In GTA San Andreas, it appears to feature a minor 1990s facelift. 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.
