The Benefactor Turreted Limo is an armed and lightly armored limousine version based on the second generation Schafter, available exclusively in Grand Theft Auto Online. It was added as part of the Executives and Other Criminals update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The body-style is based on a 2010 Mercedes E-class W212 Limousine. The front resembles the W216 Mercedes CL-Class.
The Turreted Limo is an armed variant of the Stretch E from The Ballad of Gay Tony, which, at the same time, is a limo version of the 2nd generation Schafter. The car has a 3-box design with 4 pillars. Like the other armored vehicles in the game, each door has armored padding, and armored trims are found around each of the vehicle's windows, front side and rear. However, it lacks the high-impact steel wheels and blacked out grilles that all other armored vehicles have in common; the Turreted Limo has 5-spoke split alloys and a chrome grille with the Benefactor logo centralised.
It also features a roof-mounted turret similar to the minigun seen on the side of the Valkyrie and the Valkyrie MOD.0, and a hatch similar to that of the .50 cal turret of the Insurgent Pick-Up, replacing the sunroof seen on the standard model.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The turreted limo performs much like the basic model from TBoGT, except that is upgraded with armor enough to withstand a single rocket from a Rocket Launcher or a Homing Launcher, like the other armored vehicles.
In terms of driving, the vehicle is extremely nimble. It shares many of its characteristics with the Schafter, rather than the V12 or LWB counterparts. In this respect, the car has average acceleration, comparable to the said vehicle, with a slightly lower to speed. The car is relatively light when driven, deceiving its armored appearance, which allows good acceleration and even better traction; little wheelspin is seen when setting of the vehicle. Not only is the power to weight ratio impressive, but it also has a great cornering radius, which is much better than the slightly shorter Stretch, even despite its wheelbase length and armor. The car is, however, significantly weaker than the other armored vehicles in the game. While the armored padding on the side doors does protect it from explosions, the car's light weight makes it prone to flipping or being sent flying into the air, which can often result in getting stuck. Not only is durability insufficient, but rear-ending the limo causes it to lose control due to the lack of weight, as well as the extended wheelbase. Frontal impacts cause little damage to its lighting system, however the vehicle's front end is still rather deformable, unlike the other armored Schafters (to which the limo is based on). All in all, the car is extremely well performing due to the shared platforms, however its armor can be said to deceive its actual efficiency, assuming that the Turreted Limo is more of a defensive-based vehicle rather than an offensive-based vehicle, unlike the well-armored Insurgent Pick Up.
As stated above, the vehicle adds a gun that performs much like the Valkyrie's 7.62mm minigun and can destroy lightly armored vehicles quickly, while retaining a hatch that protects the gunner from rear attacks, much like the Insurgent Pick Up. Its gun also seems to share the same sounds as the Valkyrie's gun, but lacks the aiming sight of the mentioned vehicle.
The car has an engine cover similar to that of a typical covered V8 engine, coupled to a 4-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear wheel drive configuration. The engine sound is shared with the Schafter.

Locations
Grand Theft Auto Online
- It can be bought from Warstock Cache & Carry website for $1,650,000.
- Can be requested by a VIP (and any bodyguards of the organisation) for $20,000 (or for free if owned as a Pegasus vehicle) from the Interaction Menu > VIP Vehicles. It will always spawn in matte black and will spawn near the player where there is enough space. This model has a notably long cooldown to which the vehicle can be respawned, unlike other VIP vehicles.
Trivia
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Unlike the Insurgent Pick-Up, priority of back seats is more than gunner's placement. But player can always press H (D-Pad Right) to hold the Turret.
- If player is a bodyguard/associate, by holding
//F they will open the door for the VIP/CEO. If the player is not a bodyguard/associate, by holding that button they will hold the minigun turret. - The Social Club image of the car shows different wheels, which are the same ones from its base model (Stretch E) and the first generation Schafter from The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto IV, respectively. These were probably the ones meant to be on the car before it was changed to ones found on the V12 and LWB variants.
