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

Description

[edit | edit source]

Benefactor mainly offers a selection of luxury automobiles, with certain exceptions. The term "benefactor" refers to a person who provides aid to an individual or group.

According to the badging on the engine of the Feltzer in Grand Theft Auto IV, Benefactor may have been established in the German town of Lenningen.[1]

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

Influence

[edit | edit source]

Benefactor is primarily based on Mercedes-Benz, with its diamond-shaped logo slightly resembling Volkswagen's stylized "VW" logo. The engine badging on the Feltzer in Grand Theft Auto IV mentioning the German town of Lenningen[1] is a reference to the nearby city of Stuttgart, where Mercedes-Benz was founded and is headquartered.
