Mercedes-Benz G-Class Gets Featured in GTA V

Older players of Grand Theft Auto are most likely aware of the fact that Rockstar Games have never put a real car in their GTA franchise, mostly because neither existing carmakers would have ever approved their presence in the rather violent game.

To keep the somewhat real life feel of the games' atmosphere, they chose to develop virtual modified versions of real cars though.

Using similar styling cues with their real counterparts and different names, the GTA franchise is now having tens of made-up manufacturers and hundreds of models.

Sure, they're unlicensed and pretty much everyone playing the game can tell what rear models they're trying to simulate, but officially they're not in the game.

Mercedes-Benz, for example, is called “Benefactor” in GTA, and the latest model to be featured in the franchise is none other than the G-Class, which is called the Benefactor Dubsta in GTA V.

Other Benefactor models are the Feltzer, which is an SL roadster, the Schafter (S-Class) or the Serrano (M-Class).
