The Schafter LWB is an extended-wheelbase version of Benefactor's luxury four-door saloon, offered in GTA Online with an optional armored edition. The long-wheelbase executive car is due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI.

September 2022 GTA VI Clip

The Schafter LWB was seen in one clip from the September 2022 GTA VI leaks. That footage is the documented GTA VI appearance: no trailer timestamp, official screenshot, promotional placement, or regional setting is identified for the vehicle.

The leaked version appeared to use a more detailed model than its GTA Online counterpart. Visible changes included denser geometry, modeled seams between body panels, more developed pillar work, revised door handles, and an all-new cabin.

Reworked Cabin for GTA VI

The GTA VI interior shown in the leaked clip included a Benefactor emblem on the steering wheel. Its door trim panels and three-spoke wheel draw from the Mercedes-Benz E-Class of the W212 generation, specifically details associated with the E 63 AMG.

These cabin observations apply to the leak footage rather than to confirmed GTA VI specifications beyond what was visible there. The footage also indicated that the exterior and interior had received a higher-fidelity treatment compared with the GTA Online vehicle.

Online Bodywork and Colours

In GTA Online, the LWB uses the Schafter V12’s front and rear bumper forms with small revisions. Its front lower centre section is a regular insert rather than the black or carbon-fibre treatment used by the Schafter V12 and Schwartzer. At the rear, the LWB omits the V12’s bumper vents.

A divider in each rear side window distinguishes the extended model’s glazing. The main paint colour covers the bodywork and interior stitching, while the secondary colour is used on the bonnet, roof, and boot. An additional interior trim colour affects the dashboard, seats, and door panels.

Its standard wheels match the design of the Diamond Cut sport rims offered at Los Santos Customs, fitted with low-profile tyres.

Purchase History and Classification

The Schafter LWB was introduced to GTA Online with the Executives and Other Criminals update. Legendary Motorsport listed it for $208,000. It was later taken off that website during the San Andreas Mercenaries update, then returned with the Money Fronts update.

It is classed as a Sports vehicle in GTA Online, despite its Full-Size body type. The race rules produce an unusual split: a customised LWB can be selected for Sports races, but an unmodified one is absent from the race-selection list. It is also eligible for Sedan-class races.

Against the Standard Schafter

Compared with the regular Schafter, the LWB has weaker acceleration but a marginally higher maximum speed. Its extra mass and longer wheelbase make it less immediate in turns, reducing both cornering tightness and response.

The exterior also places it between related Benefactor designs in specific ways: it borrows V12 bumper architecture, avoids the V12’s rear vents, and lacks the dark or carbon-fibre lower front insert shared by the Schafter V12 and Schwartzer.
