Sections of the dash and transmission tunnel are finished with carbon fiber accents. The interior is fully finished in black leather and sports the same Lamborghini-style sport seats as the Pfister Comet.
The Infernus in GTA IV is also the first car in the entire series to feature 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. 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, true to modern Lamborghinis, may or may not be equipped with a prominent rear wing. The car features a mid engined configuration, allowing the car a favorable structural advantage over front-engine vehicles in frontal collisions. However, the Infernus has 5 exhaust pipes instead of 4.
The Grand Theft Auto IV rendition, manufactured by Pegassi, is largely based on the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 combined with the side panels and side windows of a Lamborghini Diablo and the rear fascia and venting off the hyper-exotic Pagani Zonda F and Spyker C8, making the Infernus the only "exotic" car in GTA IV. In GTA San Andreas, the Infernus can be modded at any TransFender branch. The GTA San Andreas Infernus is front-engined by design, unlike its real-life counterpart, which uses a rear mid-engine layout.
The GTA Vice City Infernus, however, still emits steam, smoke, or fire from the front if damaged enough, again due to game limitations. 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 bumpers are reminiscent of the Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Export Model.Īlthough 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. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Infernus is based on a first-generation Honda/Acura NSX and Cizeta-Moroder V16T, the original design of the Lamborghini Diablo prototype before being changed by Chrysler.During development of GTA Vice City, early screenshots hinted of a design closer to the Countach LP 500, 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 Lamborghini Countach LP 500, but lacks the characteristic scissor doors, and features bulging headlights and round taillights.
The car in its earlier form and with its earlier name is depicted on the Capital Autos website. During 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.
However, like with the M12 and Diablo, the Infernus has a V12 engine. It may also be a cross between a Jaguar XJR-15 and a Jaguar XJ220.
