'Saints Row: The Third' (ALL) Auctions Off Real Life Genki Mobile For Charity

by Rainier on Dec. 3, 2014 @ 5:04 p.m. PST

The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to a new city, playing out the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen. Strap it on.

Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobblehead dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute.

Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control. Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and defend yourself against a highly-trained military force using only a sex toy in the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen, igniting a city-wide war that will set Steelport on fire.

Saints Row: The Third gives you control of the Saints at the height of their power, and you live the life to show for it. Now Steelport is ripe for the taking, and it's up to you to make the city your own. Mold the skyline based on your choices, outfit your crew in classy gangster gear or furry costumes, and make life-or-death decisions that will change Steelport, and the Saints, forever. This is now your city. These are now your rules. Strap it on.

The Genki Mobile – a full-blown, fully customized replica of the famous Genki Mobile from Saints Row the Third, is now up for auction. The bidding has begun at $7,500 on eBay and will end on December 13th, 2014, with the proceeds to benefit the Wings for Life charity, a not-for-profit spinal cord research foundation.

The classic 1956 Ford F-100 pickup was used only a handful of times as a promotional vehicle for the Saints Row franchise. It is completely restored, customized and fully street legal. To make sure there's no mistaking it for anything but the embodiment of pure awesome, the classic truck sports a customized fiberglass Genki head on the front, completely restored tufted faux-leather interior with an original dashboard and added retro gauges. An easy-to-use control panel for an awe-inspiring pneumatic T-shirt cannon is built into the back of the truck.


The Wings for Life Spinal Cord Research Foundation finances cutting edge research and clinical trials around the globe in order to find a cure for paraplegia. By means of donations, Wings for Life supports promising research projects which focus on healing the injured spinal cord. By now it is no longer a question “if” a cure can be found but rather “when” this will happen.

“Advancement in spinal cord research is largely based on private initiatives like Wings for Life. Since we depend on donations, we are very grateful for any help we can get. Generous supporters like Deep Silver enable us to keep doing a good job,” said Anita Gerhardter, CEO Wings for Life.
