-In GTA IV, the Schafter is based on the [[wp:Mercedes-Benz W220|Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220)]] and has a 6.5 supercharged V-12. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, however, the Schafter may also appear in a second, more modernized appearance, similar to a [[wp:Mercedes-Benz C-Class#W204 (2007–present)|Mercedes C-Class W204 Sport]] or a [[wp:Mercedes-Benz W212|Mercedes E-class W212]] by their general design and the E-class W212's taillights.

TBOGT's Schafter car may also come with one of two body color styles, including a single all-round body color, and a two-tone scheme with the darker color painted over the trunk lid, roof and a portion of the hood lid (similar to the [[Cognoscenti]]).

 === Performance ===
-In GTA IV, the Schafter, powered by a 6.5L V12 coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in RWD configuration, is quite a heavy vehicle. Acceleration is below average, compared to other vehicles in its class, such as the [[Oracle]] and [[Presidente]]. Top speed is average, and enjoyable. Handling is above average—although a slight hint of oversteer is detectable, the Schafter's firm suspension makes it a joy in low-speed cornering. The suspension is a perfect balance of firm and soft, keeping the Schafter planted on the road in turns, while not jarring over bumps. Braking is fair, and ABS is available, though not standard. Crash deformation and engine build quality are superb; the car can sustain multiple impacts (including gunfire) before breaking down or catching fire.

+The performance of TBOGT's second Schafter is significantly superior over that of the Schafter, featuring a well performing powertrain that provides significantly good acceleration and top speed, and a body light enough to allow improved braking and cornering.
