This September,
Take-Two InteractiveTTWO will launch the fifth chapter in the long-running Grand Theft Auto series.
The long-awaited sequel will contain dozens of cars and motorcycles, as well as a number of aircrafts that players can use to travel aerially. None of these vehicles will feature a real-life

is using Grand Theft Auto V (and the cars of its predecessors) to promote 10 different real-world cars.

This is not the first time that someone has attempted to tie real cars to the fictional vehicles featured in the many Grand Theft Auto games. In 2008, Jalopnik's Travis Hudson compiled a list of
