I wish the armoured version could come with these lights, it would look quite cool.

Can we please drop/take to PM whatever the hell this is supposed to be and get back to the topic at hand: 'Appreciating' the Schafter V12. I won't warn again.

 

To get this back on rails:

The Schafter here is not an S-Class, its a W212 E-Class, GTA IV's Schafter is an S-Class. The one in GTA V (the original V12 before Rockstar apparently forgot it had a V12 and added in this one which is the same car with the same engine, just tuned to 650hp) is an E-Class, probably a Brabus E based on the V12 engine. The new Schafter V12 is probably meant to be a more heavily tuned Brabus variant. The LWB is probably meant to emulate a Brabus S V12, but Benefactor has always been somewhat of a confusing Mercedes archetype IMHO.

Gotta disagree. It's a SWB W221 (Which we never got in North America) with a C216's face. If it was based on the W212 it wouldn't have such large rear arch flares. the W212 never had ones that large where the W221 does.

 

 

Let me clear this up. This is what the current TBoGT/V Schafters are based off of:

Aesthetically, the current Schafters portray no real S-Class styling whatsoever, save for the rims on the V12 version and the interiors which were originally carried over from the old vanilla IV W220/W211/W221 based Schafter. That said, it is Benefactor's flagship sedan; the S-Class is Mercedes' flagship sedan. It also has a V12 engine option, which is only available on Mercedes flagship models (G-Class / SL-Class / CL-Class / S-Class). So the Schafter is based on the Mercedes S-Class only in theory.

 

 

The original GTA IV Schafter was an S-Class with E-Class elements, specifically a W220 mixed with a W211. However it having a 6.5L V12 was supposed to homage the S65 AMG, whereas the Gen 2 Schafter (GTA V's variant) is meant to evoke the smaller E-Class, with CL-Class features. That car having a V12 is likely meant to reference a Brabus E, which had a V12. The LWB variant is likely meant to be an S-Class archetype, likely the S65 AMG. The new Schafters added in are likely Gen 2.5, a mid cycle refresh of sorts.

They're LSC colours. Midnight Blue with either a Diamond Blue or Harbor Blue pearlescent, one of the two.

Repainted my Shafter V12.

Colour based from this car:

2015-Mercedes-Benz-S65-AMG-Coupe-front-s

That's beautiful. Personally that is my favorite color combo on the newer S-Classes.

The original Schafter in GTA 5 looked waaaaaay better in The Ballad Of Gay Tony. Just stating my opinion here☺. I just bought the regular Schafter V12 and i instantly fell in love with that roaring sound when you start it up. Havent taken it to LSC yet, but i will be doing so soon.

I bought the armoured V12. Can't say the armour makes any difference to be honest, I still got wrecked by bullets. It is mightily quick in a straight line though and it sounds rather tasty. I hadn't really been round by garages that much in the past six months - when I did a mini tour on Friday, I was surprised to see i've been collecting and upgrading various four door cars.

 

It must be because i'm now a dad and therefore a boring bastard. Really makes you think.

 

Hope this helps,

The only reason why this car is so popular, and even more popular than the Verlierer, is because of the fact that it can outrun a T20 in a straight line.

And the fact that Broughy gave it a thumbs up. Apparently, as far as the GTA car community is concerned, the dude walks on water.

I wish there were more Silvers in the game, they all look really flat. Some of the blues are more silver than the silvers.

 

And please, R*, adjust the lighting in LSC so it's not twice as bright as anywhere else in the game?

Not really, he's just the only one that is not a idiotic piece of sh*t that repeats everything he reads no matter how stupid or unrealistic it is, he actually posts videos with actual content, the fact that you don't like them is a completely different matter.

The thing is wonderful beast glad I picked up a swb.

 

Can we just all appreciate how nice the armoured versions of the new cars are? I have a cog lwb armoured and I just love how come people still take a pot shot. Basically paint your armoured car a dark colour and I guess people don't notice the plating!

I don't dislike Broughy or his videos. At all. He's literally the only GTA YouTuber I'll actually watch. BUT, as best as I can tell, when it comes to cars, whatever he says is the biblical truth around these parts.

Well, he does seem to actually backup his findings

So there are SWB and LWB versions of the Schafter V12? What is the difference between these two?

Fast vs Slow

Short vs Long

Light vs Heavy
