Being so short and narrow makes it incredibly nimble when dicing through traffic. The Benefactor Panto belongs to the ‘ Compacts‘ class of vehicles. It only takes 5.1 seconds to reach 60 mph and has a top speed of 175 mph (283 km/h). The Panto has the best acceleration in its class. Nevertheless, this is a great commuter car if you don’t want to risk paying the insurance premium on one of your super cars. The Benefactor Panto is very maneuverable when airborne able to do multiple spins with ease. 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. This could make driving at high speeds quite problematic. Its acceleration is average, owing to its incredibly light weight, and 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. It is powered by a 1-liter inline 4-cylinder engine (in contrast to the Smart Fortwo, which has either a 1 liter 3-cylinder or an all-electric engine) coupled to an automatic gearbox in an RR layout. The Benefactor Panto in GTA 5 is a small, light car with quick acceleration. The Volkswagen Up! is the base for the rear fascia, the Mitsubishi i for the frontal fascia, and the Toyota iQ/Aston Martin Cygnet for the side profile. The overall design is inspired by Gordon Murray T.25 and Gordon Murray T27. The Panto is resembles a Smart Fortwo, however it has different shaped headlights. The Benefactor Panto is a smart car featured in GTA 5 as a part of the I’m Not a Hipster Update.
