The Pegassi Infernus Classic was added to GTA Online on Tuesday alongside the Resurrection Adversary Mode. While the latter failed to make any major ripples in the community, the oldschool Infernus kicked up enough dust for the two of them on its own. Depending on what kind of a player you are, the new car is either a blessing or a curse.
Classic car enthusiasts and photographers have immediately latched onto the car as their newest subject of praise, as it offers a break from all the over-designed modern super and hypercars we've been getting recently. In addition, it's one fine looking vehicle that looks wonderful on well-shot photos, a fact that the game's Snapmatic community has already discovered.
But the Infernus Classic isn't a perfect car. While it looks great from the outside, and still offers a sense of awe when sitting into it and starting the engine, things start going wrong when you try to turn — turn left, specifically. A new a mysterious bug appeared in the game where, while everything is okay during right turns, upon trying to turn left the car would spin wildly out of control. The Infernus Classic wasn't the only car affected either.
Initially, players had no clue what was going on. Those who experienced and reported the issue online were not certain that this is an actual bug, and were met by "git gud" and similar comments suggesting that they were the ones doing something wrong.
But then some of the more experienced members of the racing community took note of the issue, and at that point it became clear that there is no human error involved in these swerves. The cause of the bug was beyond everyone, and even Rockstar released a statement about the issue.
We are aware that some players are experiencing a problem with steering the Pegassi Infernus Classic. We are currently investigating the issue and if you would like more information on this issue as it progresses, please subscribe to this article for further updates.
GTA Online has a history of vehicle related bugs. There was a time when the Pfister 811 was by far the fastest car in the game due to a bug forcing the rear down which broke the physics engine resulting in insane speed increases. A similar effect, known as curb boosting, was also used by RE-7B drivers where driving on the slightly elevated curb of the race track resulted in the same acceleration.
On the flipside, there was also a bug affecting two of the cars that were added to Benny's Original Motorworks after the Lowriders DLC — in fact, they were the first two custom cars not to be lowriders. We're talking about the Sultan RS, colloquially known as the 'weeb mobile' and the Banshee 900R. Both suffered from a bug which caused them to be significantly slower than intended. In fact, after the bug was fixed, the 900R ended up briefly being the fastest car in the game, but this too was attributed to the downforce bug which affected the 811.
