In GTA IV, the Schafter is similar in design to a [[wp:Mercedes-Benz W220|1998-2006 Mercedes S-Class]], but was modified to appear with a smaller body and less flamboyant fascias. In The Ballad of Gay Tony a newer, redesigned Schafter also appears. It remains a premium, full-size luxury sedan like the S-Class, but borrows its grille and headlights from a [[wp:Mercedes-Benz C216|2007-Present Mercedes CL-class]], and the majority of its other styling cues from the [[wp:Mercedes-Benz W212|2009-Present Mercedes-Benz E-class]].

=== Performance ===
=== Performance ===
In GTA IV, the Schafter, powered by a 6.5L supercharged V-12 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: 210 km/h (130 mph). 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 of 250km/h (155mph), and a body, while heavier, is light enough to allow improved braking and cornering.
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 the same top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph), and its body, while heavier, is light enough to allow improved braking and cornering.
