Each iteration of the Bug is significantly different from each other. While the Bug in both GTA 1 and GTA London 1969 are closely modeled after the Beetle, both iterations were clearly redone from scratch during development of both games. The GTA 2 version of the Bug assumes a more compact retro-futuristic design, but retains various Beetle characteristics like the rounded, beetle-shaped profile. | |||

In GTA 1 and GTA 2, the Bug possesses average cornering helped largely by its below average acceleration and speed, making it a poor vehicle of choice for timed missions and chases. For GTA London 1969, however, the Bug features better performance, with average top speed and acceleration; GTA 2 also improves over the performance of previous Bugs by making the game's Bug more nimble and more responsive in cornering, although its speed is still considerably underwhelming. | In GTA 1 and GTA 2, the Bug possesses average cornering helped largely by its below average acceleration and speed, making it a poor vehicle of choice for timed missions and chases.

Similarly, the Bug in GTA London may be exported for a base amount of £200 if delivered in mint condition. When [[Crusher|crushed]] in GTA 2, the Bug gives the player a [[Machine Gun]]. | ||
