Everything to know about Benefactor Vorschlaghammer in GTA 5 Online

The GTA Online Vorschlaghammer was released on August 1, 2024, as part of the Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC update. Here are a few important things to know about the vehicle:

1) GTA 5 Online's Benefactor Vorschlaghammer irl (real life): Design review

The Vorschlaghammer looks like a Mercedes-Benz, particularly the Mercedes-Benz W124, which is the AMG-modified 'Hammer' variant of the car. Moreover, there are some resemblances to other models as well:

Mercedes-Benz W201 190E 2.0 Sportline–Side skirts, headlights, and lower side profile
Mercedes-Benz 300CE C124 3.4 AMG–Fender flares
U.S. imported Mercedes-Benz W126–Headlights
Facelifted Mercedes-Benz W202–Tail lights layout

Overall, it has a design that many Need For Speed Unbound players, as well as car collectors in general, can appreciate.

2) GTA 5 Online's Benefactor Vorschlaghammer Top Speed: Performance review

The in-game files suggest that the sedan is powered by a V8 engine and possesses a top speed of only 97.56 mph (157.00 km/h), seemingly hinting that it won't be too fast on the road. However, the actual drive experience in Los Santos reveals that the automobile is faster than suggested by the GTA Online files.

According to popular creator Broughy1322, the Vorschlaghammer can reach a maximum speed of 122.75 mph (197.5 km/h) and complete one lap in 1:07.000.

It also possesses decent handling and very good brakes, giving a joyful experience when cruising through the streets. However, the area where the vehicle really shines is the deformation, as it has close-to-no body deformity. This allows gamers to use it as a getaway vehicle when they need to push other vehicles off the road.

Benefactor Vorschlaghammer drift tuning upgrade:

Rockstar added the Drift Tuning upgrade for the Vorschlaghammer, allowing players to participate in GTA 5 Online Drift Races with it. This can be installed at the LSCM Mod Shop.

The new sedan is quite affordable, like most of the new vehicles Rockstar adds nowadays. Players can visit the Southern San Andreas Super Autos and buy it for a price of $1,790,000.

Here's how to get it:

Open the internet
Go to the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website

The developer occasionally runs a discount on the sedan, making it more for a limited time.
