Big Bug



The Big Bug is a vehicle in Grand Theft Auto 2 and possibly GTA V.

2D Era Description
In Grand Theft Auto 2, It can be found in all three districts of Anywhere City. It gives a machine gun in the Downtown District and an armor icon in both Residential and Industrial Districts when crushed. Its an enlarged version of the Bug, akin to a Baja Bug.

HD Era Design
The buggy features a short wheelbase body, based on a 1949 VW Type 1, which has been modified to cope with off-road use. The rear of the car features a large removed area to house a rear-mounted engine. The rear windscreen is ovular and vertically split into two equal halves. Although many elements have been removed from the rear, the engine is sat on a tube frame with a chrome finish. To make the vehicle road legal, it features two circular tail lamps and a central area to mount a license plate.

HD Era Performance
The Bug features a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine powering the rear wheels in an RR drivetrain layout. It uses very large, high profile off-road tyres.

Trivia

 * The inclusion of the Big Bug in the HD era pays reference to the fact that the original Baja Bug was created in California (upon which the HD era Los Santos is based).
