The Nagasaki Dinghy is a rigid inflatable appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Dinghy bears a larger design, resembling a military Rigid-hulled inflatable boat such as the Naval Special Warfare RHIB.
The Dinghy retains the characteristic inflatable hull like previous renditions, but assumes a larger hull with rubbing strake protection around the outer portions and lifeline ropes on the port and starboard sides. The deck features a larger console with similar features as conventional boats, a small windscreen on top and four bucket seats with rollbar loops on the upper area, while the stern features a flat transom, two long antennas on the rear quarters, and protection frames partially surrounding the twin outboard engines. The boat may spawn with three different extras:
- A silver/chrome hand rail around the front/windscreen of the main console.
- A black front frame with a radar dome and a small antenna next to it.
- An aft-mounted frame with a radar dome, an unusable light and a small antenna next to it.
The Dinghy only spawns in a black colour.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[]
In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the design of the Dinghy appears to combine elements from the 3D Universe and GTA IV iterations, with the Android/iOS versions leaning more towards the latter. The character also appears to stand up behind the steering wheel.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
In Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, the Dinghy retains the same design, features, and extras as the GTA IV iterations, but adds a pair of circular headlights on the bow, and the mounted light on the optional rear frame works as a high-beam light. In the enhanced version, the console of the boat uses "Truck" analogue dials, also shared with other boats.
It spawns in four different colour sets, assigning a primary colour to the hull and main inflatable body, and a secondary colour to the main console, a small frame on the dashboard, the rollbar loops on the seats, the inner frames/side-joiners on the deck, the aft-mounted frame and the protective frames on the stern.
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
The Dinghy remains as one of the best boats for use. While not performing as well as the 3D Universe iteration due to its increased size, it still has good top speed and maneuverability. Its large capacity also allows to carry more allies, being an ideal choice for attacking enemy boats, though it still has rather weak armour in comparison to other boats.
The Dinghy is powered by two outboard engines and emits a relatively mid-revving sound compared to most speedboats.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Dinghy retains its performance traits as in GTA IV, and due to the improved handling physics, the boat seems to be lighter and quicker. It is a good choice for navigating though narrow waterways such as the Vespucci Canals and the Raton Canyon creek. In GTA V, the Dinghy is temporarily equipped with a sonar when required in searching for Submarine Pieces.
Again, the Dinghy is powered by two outboard engines, emitting a quieter sound, slightly more high-revving than in GTA IV.
