Panto

From GTA Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
The giant German carmaker's leap into the micro market. Designed for the narrow, parking space deprived roads of Europe, this is sure to stick out on the eight lane freeways, and in the mile-wide parking lots of Los Santos, until you get crushed by an SUV driven by an over-medicated housewife.

The Benefactor Panto is a two-door hatchback featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

The Panto returns from the 2D Universe where it also assumed the design of a compact car.

Description

[edit | edit source]

The Panto was added as part of The "I'm Not a Hipster" Update to Grand Theft Auto V and Online.

Influence

[edit | edit source]

The Panto resembles a 2007-2014 Smart Fortwo. The overall design is inspired by Gordon Murray T.25 and Gordon Murray T27. The Volkswagen Up! is the base for the rear fascia, the Mitsubishi i for the frontal fascia, and the Toyota iQ/Scion iQ/Aston Martin Cygnet for the side profile.

Design

[edit | edit source]

The Panto features a meshed bumper vent and two small intakes on the bonnet area, together with the manufacturer emblem on the centre. It also has shaped housings resembling upside down hearts, holding circular headlamps and smaller lights on the inner sections and upper edges. The sides have wide fender arches and skirts, along with rounded mirror shells, black window trims on the small cabin and a lip spoiler on the roof. The rear features a large compartment door holding the license plate, the third brake light and the corresponding badges. The outer edges have circular lamps and light strips enclosing them, while the lower area is occupied by the bumper and a black section holding the exhaust tubes. Its interior is very simple, with the "Cavalcade" dashboard, dials and interior usually employed by SUVs.

The primary colour of the car is applied on the main body, while the secondary colour is applied on the bumpers, skirts, roof panel and mirror shells. It has "El Quatro" tuner wheels that are also available at Los Santos Customs.

Performance

[edit | edit source]

The Panto is a small, light car with the best acceleration in its class, owing to its incredibly light weight. Its top speed is quite high, but caution should be taken when driving at high speeds because its short wheelbase makes it very unstable and prone to spinning out of control, and its wheelbase is much shorter than the Issi. This could make driving at high speeds quite problematic. The handling is rather poor despite its size, as the vehicle suffers from understeer, and its durability is unremarkable, as it can only take a few head-on crashes before its axle breaks and its engine stalls, although it is completely immune to any form of crash deformation. The Panto is very maneuverable when airborne, able to do multiple spins with ease. Nevertheless, this is a great commuter car if one does not want to risk paying the insurance premium on one of their super cars.

Owing to the vehicle's small size and lack of crumple zones, even a moderate impact to the rear of the Panto will kill any NPC occupants inside, making obtaining one relatively easy if the player is prepared to drive the damaged vehicle to Los Santos Customs and have it repaired. Due to the Panto not suffering from body deformation, this can lead into unusual situations where the player can come across seemingly-intact Pantos with the driver dead inside due to an off-screen collision.

Because the engine cannot be viewed by normal means, there are no camshafts or other vital engine parts other than 3-cylinders. Furthermore, the engine is transversely laid out of line with the rear wheels. However, using the Rockstar Editor Camera, one can see that the Panto is powered by a 3-cylinder engine. Said engine is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox in an RR layout. The Panto shares its engine sound with the Dilettante, but with a clearer tone partly due to the lack of electric motor.

  • Can be bought from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $85,000.
  • Due to an oversight with population zone definitions, the Panto can rarely spawn in traffic after the player has been within Banning or Vespucci Beach. However, Pantos spawned in traffic cannot be stored as a Personal Vehicle, upgraded or sold.

Oversights

[edit | edit source]
  • Installing the "Roll Cage and Chassis Upgrade" modification may cause the exhausts to stop emitting fumes. This seems to only happen with short exhausts, being the stock and the titanium exhausts.
  • There is currently a glitch that allows the player to turn the roof and/or trunk invisible based on the chosen modification. This can be done by buying a roof modification in Los Santos Customs, then scrolling through the roofs quickly until it lands on the stock option without visible roof and/or trunk. Depending on how much of the car is covered by the chosen modification, only the roof can be invisible but some modifications also make the trunk together with the roof invisible. If the trunk is invisible, the badge will also appear floating in the air. While using this glitch, the player can still apply a spoiler which will appear floating in the air. The glitch works similar to how some cars can have their stock spoilers removed.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • The Panto is one of the few Benefactor vehicles that doesn't resemble a Mercedes-Benz model, instead referencing Smart, the manufacturer of the Smart Fortwo on which the Panto is primarily based, which is partly owned by Mercedes-Benz AG.
  • When the Stickerbomb livery is added to the tailgate, the license plate will be shifted at a slight angle.
  • Like the Sabre Turbo, when the Panto is modified with a Roll Cage, it will have the fuel tank on the trunk.
