In GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, the Rhino appears to be closely based on the German [[wp:Panzer IV|Panzer IV]] tank. More specifically a cross between the Panzer IV Ausf. H with it's distict side armor plates and the Panzer IV Ausf A with it's short barrelled gun turret. This is also reinforced by it's name "Rhino" as in the German language the indian rhinoceros is called the "panzernashorn" which literally translates to "armored rhino".

In its original appearance in GTA III, the Rhino assumes a stark appearance with little details on its armored body. The GTA Vice City rendition, however, added various equipment on the vehicle, such as
grenade
launchers at the front of the vehicle and seat pads at the sides. as well as enlarging the turret's barrel. While the GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories would follow design ques of the GTA III and GTA Vice City renditions, the turret barrel of GTA Liberty Stories rendition is of the same size and length as that in GTA Vice City.

In GTA San Andreas, the Rhino looks like an [[wp:M1 Abrams|M1 Abrams]] and it is much more realistic. It is colored beige (desert camouflage), has a normal tank entrance in front and a new drivetrain with smaller wheels, which look almost like tracks. It also has a new steering system, that finally allows the player to make very tight turns. The turret is operated with the mouse or right thumbstick ([[PlayStation 2]]), which allows the player to shoot directly at the target. The Rhino in GTA San Andreas is also heavy enough to literally push aircraft, making the Rhino an ideal vehicle to push the destroyed [[Andromada]] from "[[Stowaway]]".
