During [[Beta Releases#Grand Theft Auto III|development of GTA III]], one of the earliest known names given to the car is the "'''Dyablo'''", a nod to the Lamborghini Diablo name; contrary to its final form, the car shares an uncanny resemblance to the Lamborghini Diablo and is illustrated without a rear spoiler.

* In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], it closely resembles a [[wp:Lamborghini Countach|Lamborghini Countach LP500]], but lacks the characteristic scissor doors, and features bulging headlights and round taillights. During development of GTA Vice City, early screenshots hinted of a design closer to the Countach LP500, featuring a sleeker and more angular frontage, blocky lights and a heightened spoiler. | * In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], it closely resembles a [[wp:Lamborghini Countach|Lamborghini Countach LP500]], but lacks the characteristic scissor doors, and features bulging headlights and round taillights.

Although the Infernus' design suggests a mid-engined layout in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, its engine is visible under the front hood, possibly due to limitations of the game engine. The GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories renditions reposition the engine to the back; the front compartment is revealed to be the trunk. The GTA Vice City Infernus, however, still emits smoke from the front if moderately damaged. The GTA San Andreas Infernus is front-engined by design. | Although the Infernus' design suggests a mid-engined layout in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, its engine is visible under the front hood, possibly due to limitations of the game engine.

The Infernus' handling remains similar between GTA III to GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City Stories to GTA Vice City Stories, featuring some of the best accelerating power and top speeds (240 km/h according to the handling.cfg file in all games) among all sports cars in the games, but having slight susceptibility to spinouts when brakes are applied around corners than the [[Cheetah]] (due to its rear wheel drive and, possibly, a longer wheelbase). Infernus' in the games also feature softer suspensions, allowing it to drive over curbs without jolting the car substantially or bottoming out. | The Infernus' handling remains similar between GTA III to GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City Stories to GTA Vice City Stories, featuring some of the best accelerating power and top speeds (240 km/h according to the handling.cfg file in all games) among all sports cars in the games, but having slight susceptibility to spinouts when brakes are applied around corners than the [[Cheetah]] (due to its rear wheel drive and, possibly, a longer wheelbase).

In GTA San Andreas, the Infernus remains the fastest car in the game and features an all-wheel drive system that gives the car better frontal grip. However, its cornering ability is considerably inferior due to higher susceptibility to spins, indicating uneven front-to-rear weight distribution. The Infernus' suspension in the game is also stiffer, making the car less suitable for bumpy driving. | In GTA San Andreas, the Infernus remains the fastest car in the game and features an all-wheel-drive system that gives the car better frontal grip.

In GTA Vice City, [[Lance Vance]] is depicted to be driving a uniquely white Infernus, which can be seen and driven during "[[Back Alley Brawl]]" and "[[Guardian Angels]]". After obtaining [[Vercetti Estate|Diaz's mansion]] in "[[Rub Out]]", the regular Infernus parked next to the garage will permanently appear white, implying the car belongs to Lance. Given its permanence, the car is easily obtainable from this point on. | In GTA Vice City, [[Lance Vance]] is depicted to be driving a uniquely white Infernus, which can be seen and driven during "[[Back Alley Brawl]]" and "[[Guardian Angels]]".

In GTA IV, an Infernus previously owned by [[Bryce Dawkins]] is given to the player by [[Bernie Crane]] after completing his mission "[[Buoys Ahoy]]". The car uniquely sports stripes on the sideskirt and a bright orange or yellow body color which does not appear on any other Infernus, but is otherwise identical to a regular Infernus, being available with or without a spoiler. | In GTA IV, an Infernus previously owned by [[Bryce Dawkins]] is given to the player by [[Bernie Crane]] after completing his mission "[[Buoys Ahoy]]".

Dawkins' Infernus is also featured in [[The Lost and Damned]] during "[[Knowing Me, Knowing You]]", and can be obtained by parking it at a GTA IV or The Lost and Damned safehouse, driving away from it and blowing yourself up with a [[Pipe Bomb]] or [[grenade]], thereby failing the mission but retaining the car at the safehouse. Note that it is not necessary to kill yourself and waste money when you can just take the car to a parking space and wait for the time to run out; Johnny will just simply get out (if you attempt to enter the car it will be locked). Get into another car and go around the block. When you come back, the Infernus will still be there, unlocked for you. | Dawkins' Infernus is also featured in [[The Lost and Damned]] during "[[Knowing Me, Knowing You]]", and can be obtained by parking it at a GTA IV or The Lost and Damned safehouse, driving away from it and blowing yourself up with a [[Pipe Bomb]] or [[grenade]], thereby failing the mission but retaining the car at the safehouse.

In GTA IV, [[Stevie]] will send you a message saying that he requires an Infernus parked near the Soldiers Memorial in [[Downtown Broker]], and can be specifically found parked next to the Pizza Salad Restaurant. After acquiring the car, the player is required to deliver the car to his [[Stevie's Car Thefts|garage]]. This Infernus always has a unique gold paintjob. Like all of Stevie's desired cars, it will respawn if taken away, and thus can be "duplicated". Find the Infernus, park it at a safehouse, then return to its original location; a new Infernus will be there, and this can be delivered to Stevie instead. | In GTA IV, [[Stevie]] will send you a message saying that he requires an Infernus parked near the Soldiers Memorial in [[Downtown Broker]], and can be specifically found parked next to the Pizza Salad Restaurant.
