Field Assessment

The Schafter LWB is the extended wheelbase executive car. The long-wheelbase configuration adds rear cabin space at the cost of cornering radius. Vice City's power structure makes this trade without hesitation. The rear seat is the office. The additional wheelbase is the conference room.

In Vice City, the Schafter LWB appears in the financial district, at the hotel arrivals, and at the venues where the people who travel in the back of this car are meeting the people who drive themselves. The LWB is the vehicle that tells everyone in the vicinity that the person inside is not driving.

As a mission vehicle the LWB represents specific targets and specific scenarios: the executive being transported, the VIP arrival, and the vehicle that contains something more valuable than the car itself.
