Benefactor

Benefactor is a German luxury automaker appearing in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series.

Description

Based on its vehicle designs, it is the in-game counterpart of Mercedes-Benz, with its diamond-shaped logo slightly resembling Volkswagen's stylized "VW" logo. The term "benefactor" refers to a person who aids an individual or group.

According to the badging on the engine of the Feltzer, Benefactor may have been established and/or have its headquarters in the German town of Lenningen. Lenningen is situated very close to the city of Stuttgart, where the current headquarters of Mercedes-Benz is located.

In Grand Theft Auto V, there is a Benefactor-Gallivanter Dealership, located on Eclipse Boulevard in Rockford Hills, Los Santos, which features a rear garage that can be purchased by Michael De Santa.
