“Say what you will about the Germans - they know luxury. And their economy is the only one worth a crap in Europe. This model has all kinds of extras - too many to list for legal reasons.”
—Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.
The Benefactor Schwartzer is a two-door coupé in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Influence[]
The Schwartzer is a coupe variant of the second generation Schafter, and it is mainly based on the post-facelift Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupé, as evident in the front and rear bumpers, greenhouse area, and side profile. The front and rear fascias directly mimic those of the Schafter's, with the front fascia elements being taken from the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class (C216), while the rear is taken from the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (C207), a coupé version of the Mercedes-Benz W212, on which the Schafter's rear is based.
Liveries[]
- The "Orange Stripes" and "Red Stripes" liveries are based on the Edition 1 Package for the 2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe, with the Orange Stripes livery being more closely inspired.
- The "Yogarishima Racing" livery may be based on Edouard III Cheever's #27 Roma Racing Team Mercedes C63 AMG driven during the 2014 EuroV8 Series.
Design[]
The Schwartzer features very aggressive formations which appear to have been inspired by German design styling. At the base of the front bumper sporting influence is very prevalent. The front bumper features a main central vent whose base appears to have a CFRP insert. Either side of this vent there are two, less tall vents, whose inner edges are parallel to the outer edges of the central vent. Above the central vent there is a large main grille with chrome edges and a horizontal chrome strip splitting it into two halves. The headlamp units have curved lower edges which almost continue the curvature of the bottom edge of the grille. The bonnet has a main elevated area, whose edges run from a top corner of the main grille to their corresponding windscreen corner.
On the sides, vertical thin vents occupy the area of the front fenders between the wheel arches and the doors. What appears to be CFRP strips can be seen on the skirt area. The car features rear view mirrors whose outer shells are finished in carbon-fibre, while the trimmings surrounding the windows of the car are finished in black.
The rear of the car draws the same design elements from the Schafter, being the boot/trunk lip and the rear lights. However, the bumper sports a concave design and the square-shaped exhausts are larger in appearance. The central portion where the exhausts and the vent are located is also finished in carbon-fibre.
The Schwartzer may spawn in a variety of single colours for the body and the stitching. It also uses a unique set of wheels, consisting of nine thin spokes with concave centers, wrapped in low-profile tyres.
Performance[]
Compared to its four-door equivalent, the Schafter, the Schwartzer has overall better performance. It is more agile and much quicker. The exhaust note sounds more powerful as well. The steering is quick but it also feels artificial with little to no connection to the road. It has better acceleration than the Sentinel XS. The Schwartzer is also capable of performing drifts around sharp corners without the risk of a spinout if at the hands of an exceptionally skilled driver.
In the original version, the car shares its engine sound with the Stretch, Super Diamond and Elegy RH8. However, in the enhanced version, the car has a unique V8 sound that is richer and revs up to 7000 RPM. This engine sound is completely unique to this vehicle.

The Schwartzer on Southern San Andreas Super Autos.
Special Variants[]
- Two unique Schwartzers spawn at Premium Deluxe Motorsport when the mission Repossession is available. A classic gold one is parked behind the showroom between a green Bullet and a grey first generation Baller, and a metallic garnet red one which is parked inside the showroom itself. Both vehicles can spawn with any pearlescent luster from its default traffic color set, and thus has a 2/13 chance to spawn with either the unique worn silver or matte orange pearlescent color that cannot be obtained at Los Santos Customs or Beeker's Garage under normal circumstances.
- To obtain the red Schwartzer inside the dealership, the player can simply fire a bullet into the interior to disrupt the mission, and then head inside to take the red Schwartzer.

Trivia[]
- The car's name is a wordplay using the adjective for "black" in German (Schwarz), being a clear reference to Mercedes-Benz and their Black Series models, more specifically the 2012 C63 AMG Coupé Black Series.
- In the original version, when seen from a distance, the Schwartzer seems to have the Schafter's front bumper and grille. This is probably the result of the copied LOD model from the Schafter.
- The Schafter's grille can be put back on in Los Santos Customs, by using the grille option "Big Badge". This option is also available on other Benefactor models, including the Serrano.
