Not to be confused with Glitch.
The Bug is a small car that appears in nearly all of the 2D Universe games, with the exception of Grand Theft Auto: London 1961.
Design[]
2D Universe[]
Based largely on the real life Volkswagen Beetle in both name and design, the Bug is depicted in all its appearances as a largely old, small car.
In Grand Theft Auto, the Bug assumes a strong resemblance to the Volkswagen Beetle, while in Grand Theft Auto: London 1969, the vehicle appears to be a bit shorter with less rounded details, particularly the rear section. In Grand Theft Auto 2, however, it has a more fictionalized design, being shorter, wider and possessing a grille - meaning its engine is at the front. Probably inspired by Austin A30 or FIAT 500 Topolino.

Performance[]
2D Universe[]
In Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto 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 Grand Theft Auto: 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 addition to these, a purple Bug spawns at Dalgetti's garage during the vehicle mission Gangsta Bang - Bulldog in chapter Gangsta Bang, though it has nothing to do with the mission.
