QUICK FACTS
Overview
The Schafter V12 is a Grand Theft Auto sedan modelled on the Mercedes-Benz E/S-Class and built in-game by Benefactor. It has been part of the series since GTA Online (2015).
It follows the Mercedes-Benz executive-sedan template.
History in the GTA Series
The Schafter line is Benefactor's Mercedes-style sedan range; the V12 is the high-performance version. Benefactor is Rockstar's Mercedes-Benz brand, and armoured Schafters have appeared as well.
The Benefactor Connection
Inside GTA's fiction the Schafter V12 carries the Benefactor badge. Rockstar's in-game manufacturers are parody brands of real-world marques — a way the series builds a recognisable car world without licensing real names — and the Benefactor stable is where this vehicle sits.
What We Actually Know About It in GTA 6
Rockstar has not shown or named the Schafter V12 for GTA 6. Given that it (or a close equivalent) has recurred across the series, it is reasonable to expect something like it to appear — but that is an expectation drawn from franchise history, not a confirmed fact.
