Between [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], the Infernus had appeared in three different forms, each illustrating the car as a sleek, low-profile sports car comparable to the [[Cheetah]].

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. The car in its earlier form and with its earlier name is depicted on the [[Capital Autos]] website.

The Infernus in [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] is only available without a spoiler, and features conventional doors. Players who pre-ordered the Nintendo DS version of GTA Chinatown Wars from Amazon are able to purchase a bulletproof Infernus at the [[Auto Merchant]] early in the game.

A promotional screenshot for GTA V depicts an Infernus similar to that in GTA IV, but featuring minor cosmetic modifications on the front bumper, such as slightly wider bumper grills along with a different rim design. The Infernus' new wheel design in GTA V is based on that of the [[wp:Lamborghini Reventón|Lamborghini Reventón]], a conceptual car based on the Murciélago.

[[Legendarymotorsport.net]] says that the Infernus is powered by a 610 bhp 6.0L engine, possibly a V12 (with the 610 bhp being a reference to the [[wp:Lamborghini Huracán|Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4]], which is similarly powered by a 610 bhp V10 engine).

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.

The Infernus in GTA IV is extremely fast and the fourth-fastest (with a top speed of 360 km/h / 224 mph) car in this game but is highly susceptible to deformation from high-speed impacts, and even impacts which do little damage can [[Windshield Ejection|eject the driver through the windshield]]. It is one of the fastest cars in GTA IV, and accordingly, it's a good racing car; it does, however, suffer from understeer in sharp turns at speed. It is a mid-engined all-wheel drive, like the real Murciélago; the mid-engine configuration makes it unlikely to break down or be set aflame from front-end collisions, another benefit when racing. While reversing, the Infernus can be easily turned 180 degrees with a mere nudge to the steering wheel, which can be useful after losing control of the vehicle. The Infernus has the same engine sound as the [[Comet]] and the [[Super GT]].

Due to its very low profile, it is possible for the Infernus in GTA IV to "scoop" some larger vehicles during collisions, causing them to either drive over the car or even launch off the Infernus in the case of head-on collisions. This seems to do only minor damage to the Infernus.

Much like other renditions of the Infernus', the GTA Chinatown Wars Infernus boasts excellent acceleration and top speed and excellent brake response, but has a penchant for spinning out when cornering in higher speeds. While the car can soak up similar amounts of damage as most other vehicles, the tendency for vehicles to receive more damage from high speed crashes in GTA Chinatown Wars also makes the game's Infernus more likely to be destroyed faster.

The GTA V Infernus performs virtually identical to the GTA IV rendition.
