A Sentinel from GTA VCS.
A Sentinel is a luxury, four-door sedan that was first introduced in Grand Theft Auto III. In Grand Theft Auto IV, the game introduced the two-door Sentinel.
Description
Design
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the design of the vehicle resembles a BMW 7 series E23 with a lengthened body. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the car is almost the same as the one from Vice City but the car takes its appearance from a E24 BMW 6-series car due to the forward tilted headlights and grill. There are also several significant cosmetic changes to the vehicles that make them different in both games; the GTA Vice City Stories rendition appears less on the street than its counterpart, the Sentinel XS, which has not recieved the same degree of changes.
Variants
In most games, this includes GTA VC and GTA VCS, the car has a counterpart, the Sentinel XS (see page for more information).
Special Colors
Black Sentinel
The black Sentinel obtainable from "Hit The Courier".
A unique black Sentinel appears during the GTA VC mission "Hit The Courier". The player can obtain the car by killing the driver of the vehicle after she enters it, but must not exit the car until they enter a garage, as exiting the car will lock the player out.
Another way to obtain a black Sentinel is by entering in the "Black Cars" cheat. After the cheat is entered, the vehicles on the street will all appear black, allowing the player to obtain any black vehicle they want, including a black Sentinel.
