The Benefactor Schafter V12 is a luxury four-door sedan appearing in Grand Theft Auto Online and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI.
Description
Grand Theft Auto Online
The car was added as part of the Executives and Other Criminals update.
Grand Theft Auto VI
The car can be seen driving along the Ocean Drive-inspired road in Vice Beach, in the first trailer (0:31).
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Schafter V12 is a high-performance version of the Schafter, likely influenced by the Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG and Brabus SV12 R. The Schafter V12 is nearly identical to the Schafter in design and layout, but the bumpers appear to inherit elements from the Schwartzer. The rear exhaust tubes are similar to the ones from the Schafter.
Colour distribution is the same as the regular Schafter, where the primary colour is applied to the body and the interior stitching, while the secondary colour is applied on the bonnet, roof and boot. A trim colour is also available for the interior, being applied to the dashboard, seats and door panels. Its wheels share the same rim design as the "Diamond Cut" sport rims available in Los Santos Customs, wrapped in low-profile tyres.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Schafter V12 is dramatically different than the normal counterpart, as it sports an upgraded version of the original apparent V12 (sounding higher-revving and louder likely due to big-bored exhaust manifolds and tuned camshafts/valve timing, despite its cover and model remaining identical). This provides more power to its rear wheels, offering better acceleration and subsequently a higher top speed. Traction has also been improved and braking times reduced slightly.
Its outright performance is much higher than its simple appearance implies, with acceleration being mostly comparable to the Zentorno and a top speed which rivals the Adder. Handling is a bit of a mixed bag: it has a very tight cornering radius and strong response time (true to its Sedan origins), but the extremely powerful engine makes it prone to oversteer and lose control. Keeping it under control is no easy feat in the corners, as the torque put out by the engine is significantly more than the car can handle.
While its acceleration power may be subpar compared to newer 4-door sports cars, its top end power remains formidable thanks to its low drag coefficient.
