Black Benefactor sport sedan

A black four-door photographed head-on with an assault rifle pointed out of a window on the driver's side, close enough to make out the maker's badge in the middle of the grille.

The badge is the reason this record carries a manufacturer, and it is worth being exact about what kind of reason. In the centre of the grille sits a dark circular ring holding a bright silver diamond with two joined letters inside it, the same emblem that sits on the boot lid of the Schafter elsewhere in this database. No word is on the car. The series has put that diamond on its Benefactor cars since GTA 4, and this site follows it, as an identification by emblem and not a reading of a name: the same standing as the diamond on the Schafter, and the reason the car brands page counts Benefactor as a borrowed reading. The model stays unnamed.

The car is a low four-door with a coupe roofline, in a dark grey that photographs as black. The grille is three broad horizontal bars, broken in the middle by the badge. Each headlight housing holds two round projectors behind a shaped lens. Below, the bumper is a deep aftermarket-looking piece with a wide mesh intake, a mesh vent at each outer corner and a splitter under it. The bonnet is dusty.

The situation is not calm. At the right edge of the crop somebody leans out of a window on the driver’s side with an assault rifle, while the driver keeps both hands on the wheel. Behind, at the kerb, stands the marked police pickup with its door lettering and its lights going, the same truck this site holds on its own page, and the HUD of the same frame draws the six-position star scale with four of them lit.

GTA 5’s Benefactor Schafter was a full-size four-door saloon behind that diamond, according to the GTA Wiki, and the Schafter in this database at 15:49 is the obvious sibling; whether this is the same model or the one above it in the range is not something the front of a car tells you.

How to recognise it

• Circular grille badge: dark ring, silver diamond, two joined letters, no word
• Three broad horizontal grille bars, broken by the badge
• Two round projectors in each headlight housing
• Deep front bumper with a wide mesh intake, outer vents and a splitter
• Four-door body with a coupe roofline, dark grey reading as black

The frame it comes from

The frame is Extended Look at 14:00.07. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 1881 by 1339 of it. Also in it: the Vice City skyline, Vicebeach police pickup, a dark flatbed truck, and a shooter leaning out of a window.

How this was measured

These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work

What we still do not know

• The model name. Only the maker is on the car.
• Whether the front bumper is a variant or a fitted modification
• Whether this is the same model as the Schafter filmed later in the same sequence
• Everything measured: top speed, acceleration, handling, price, where it spawns
