The Benefactor Schafter 6.5 supercharged V-12 is a luxury 4-door sedan and is available only in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is based on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220)

Performance

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 it's class. Top speed is average, and enjoyable. Handling on the Schafter is above average, and though a slight hint of oversteer is detectable, it'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 is superb, as the Schafter can take many direct hits before being rendered unusable. Engine build quality is also superb, and can sustain multiple bullet strikes before catching fire.

Variation

There is a tuned version of the Schafter, along the lines of Mercedes-Benz's "AMG" Division. It comes in silver or black and has black rims, sport body kit, and no front emblem. It is based on the Mercedes-Benz S65 "AMG" models. This version of the Schafter can be found in Hove Beach being driven by the Russian Mafia.

-The Schafter could be considered one of the most luxurious cars in the game, along with the [[Cognoscenti]] and [[Oracle]] XS. The Schafter is probably the second most luxurious car in the game, with the Cognoscenti being first and Oracle XS being third. In terms of speed, the Schafter is much faster than the Cognoscenti and Oracle XS because of its V12 engine.

-Being heavy, its acceleration is not spectacular, but still pretty good for a luxury saloon, however the powerful 605hp V12 can propel the car to a high top speed, and its rear-drive layout makes it good in low speed corners.
