Leonida Profile

Benefactor in Leonida is not aspirational. It is transactional. The people who drive a Schafter are not trying to be seen in it. They are using it to get somewhere, and the somewhere is not a place discussed in public.

The Schafter LWB is the extended wheelbase variant. Additional rear legroom for additional passengers who are present for reasons the driver does not explain to valet staff. The Schafter V12 is the performance build for the same class of clientele who occasionally need to leave quickly.

Benefactor does not compete with Pegassi or Grotti on track times. It competes on the question of what kind of car a serious person drives to a serious meeting in Vice City.
