The [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] rendition, manufactured by [[Pegassi]], is largely based on the [[wp:Lamborghini Murciélago|Lamborghini Murciélago LP640]] combined with the rear fascia and venting off the hyper-exotic [[wp:Pagani Zonda|Pagani Zonda]] F; making the Infernus the only "exotic" car in GTA IV. The car features a mid engined configuration, allowing the car a favorable structural advantage over front-engine vehicles in frontal collisions. The Infernus, true to modern Lamborghinis, may or may not be equipped with a prominent rear wing. Also, the Infernus is capable of supporting a second body color for a stripe over the side skirts, even though it is not evident on the normally spawned Infernus. The Infernus in GTA IV is also the first and only car in the entire series to feature [[wp:scissor doors|scissor doors]], which allows the Infernus' doors to be self-closing by relying only on gravity to fall shut from its opened position; also featured are small, racing-style wing mirrors. The interior is fully finished in black leather and sports the same Lamborghini-style sport seats as the Pfister [[Comet]]. Sections of the dash and transmission tunnel are finished with carbon fiber accents.

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.

===GTA III — GTA San Andreas===
=== GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories ===
The Infernus' handling remains similar between GTA III and GTA Vice City, but in San Andreas, although it is the fastest car in the game, and its all-wheel drive system means the car has good front grip, its cornering ability is considerably inferior to its prior renditions due to higher susceptibility to spins, indicating uneven front-to-rear weight distribution. Its suspension in GTA III and GTA Vice City, however, is softer, 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). Infernus' in the games also feature softer suspensions, allowing it to drive over curbs without jolting the car substantially or bottoming out.
 
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.


===GTA IV===
=== GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars ===
The Infernus is extremely fast and the fourth-fastest (with a top speed of 180 km/h) 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]].
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]].

==Variants with unique colors==
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.
 
== Variants with unique colors ==
;White Infernus
;White Infernus
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.

Like various sports car in the game, the Infernus is significantly rare in single player as it does not normally spawn in traffic at all. It can only be obtained in specific missions and/or pastimes.

* An Infernus can be encountered relatively early on if one spawns as a competitor (or in traffic) during Brucie's street races. These can be stolen, although killing an opponent and stealing their car will forfeit the race, lowering Brucie's approval rating.

*A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpc-CoGcN84 YouTube video purportedly claims] a faster method of obtaining an Infernus in multiplayer is available the Xbox 360 version of the game. First, the player must drive a [[Ruiner]] until a [[Coquette]] is forced to spawn, to which point the player must steal and drive the Coquette until [[Sultan]]s and, later, Infernus' will appear momentarily.
