Nope, Benefactor is an in-game name of Mercedes. Besides, we do have an F-Type in GTA, it's called Ocelot Lynx.

But not all Ocelots are based on and listed as Jaguar,so in this case it might happen

This is luxury reasserted. Right in your neighbour's face. Boom. You like that. That's right, you are better than him, and you could have his wife if you wanted. Try it on with her as soon as she sees this ride. You'll be a double benefactor

Please, don't cause more flame wars. It was already difficult to solve the Zincornium Stratum case a few years ago. Many guys know that the Surano has Jaguar F-Type elements, but we should consider more the body shape itself

I'm not causing flame war, all i want is to list the car right. This isn't a SLS. It's CLEAR that car is a F-Type, the only element of SLS is the long hood. only.

Clearer front and rear shots from the GTA wiki:

images.wikia.com/gtawiki/images/1/16/Benefactor_Surano_%28Rear%26Side%29-GTAV.jpg
It really looks like a F-type, though it should probably stay as a SLS AMG since the body shape is more SLS AMG like and Benefactor is a parody of Mercedes-Benz.

Its the SLS. it looks like an SLS majority of the style, majority of the vote is for SLS, and its a benefactor, which all resemble mercs being the GTA equivalent, so i think its pretty clear this should finally have its name changed

Rear view captured from a leaked footage that popped up on YouTube today.

While it's not the clearest of shots, the overall shape of the rear seems to match the SLS AMG very well.

...and here's the nameplate, with a triple diamond logo that pushes the point further, as the Benefactor (GTA version of Mercedes-Benz) logo has a diamond in it.

It's a different car than this. Notice the rims are not similar and that one lacks a side fender vents.


Yeah, I was saying that the new car looks more like the F-Type than the Surano does. Turns out I was wrong and it's the new Coquette, so the debate is still open between SLS and F-Type for this one.

I marked it as F-Type at the beginning, yet the people were complaining it's SLS.

SRT VIPER


The lights do match, and probably more so than the Jaguar F-Type. But the rest of the car is very different, so I'd set this one as the SLS AMG.

For me it looks more "bulkier" (a la SLS) than the F-Type - but I'll reserve my judgement for now.

Everything that matches the SLS is highlighted red, and everything green is the F-Type. I'll let the mods decide which one it is.

Also, the logo on the hood resembles the Ocelot logo from GTA IV, which is used on the Jaguar XK/Ocelot F620.

Compared with the F-type, this car looks to be more 'boxy', more SLS-like, imo. Also, overall shape of the grille, and placement & shape of the side mirrors are similar to the SLS.


The shape of the grille is practically identical on both the SLS and F-Type.
The placement and shape of the side mirrors on the in-game car is much more similar to the F-Type than the SLS (the SLS mirrors are placed further from the body than the other cars).
The in-game car's side grille is in exactly the same spot as the F-Type.
The in-game car's headlights are very similar to the F-Type.
Both the SLS and F-Type have the same shape imprinted into the side door, but the in-game car's side skirt is closer to the F-Type.
The in-game car has F-Type wheels.

I rest my case.

I can see where you're coming from, but there are more similarities with the Jaguar, including body shape, light design, etc.

I'd say it resembles a Mercedes SLS: there already is a recent Jaguar in this game (the F620), and certain aspects of this car coincide with the real life SLS.

Yes, and yet again this seems to be a Jaguar with aspects of Maserati - those side vents are straight from a GranCabrio.
