Pantomime or "panto" was a traditional form of raucous British family musical theatre which often used naughty double intendres and word play aimed at adults.
During one adventure, Bernice Summerfield experienced pantomime come to life, amongst them, Wolsey changed into a real life version of the panto character Puss in Boots. (BNA: Oh No It Isn't!)
The Panto is a car featured in Grand Theft Auto 2 and dropped during development of Grand Theft Auto III.

The Panto name first debuted in GTA 2 in the form of a two-door microcar (occasionally confused as a van) akin to the Dementia, but significantly larger. Its appearance alone makes the car generally unappealing, in contrast to larger, better designed cars in the game. The internal name given to the Panto is FIAT, implying the car's name originates from that of a similarly named Fiat Punto, but is otherwise of an original design.
The Panto was planned to reappear as a four-door compact sedan in GTA III, but was cut for unknown reasons. The car, like the Panto in GTA 2, bears some resemblance to a Fiat, specifically, a Fiat 128; little else is known about the car. A picture of the car can be found on the "Capital Auto Sale$" teaser website, along with many other beta vehicles [1].

The Panto's performance in GTA 2 mirrors its generally undesirable appearance. The car suffers from an underpowered engine, which results in a poor top speed and below average acceleration. However, helped largely by its speed, the Panto's steering is still acceptable, but its brakes are mediocre, being slightly below average. Even so, the vehicle is not practical when evading gunfire and hostile enemies, such as law enforcement.
When crushed, the Panto awards the player Grenades.
Panto was the star of the Panto system.
