Template:Infobox vehicles The Panlantic is a van featured in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Design
3D Universe
The Panlantic is a variant of the Pony. However, like the TOYZ, the Panlantic features flat side-body panels and the Panlantic Construction Company brand and logo on its sides; the van is also consistently painted gray in GTA III and white in GTA Liberty City Stories. In some versions of GTA III such as the Xbox and iPad versions, the Panlantic has no rear bumper.

Performance
3D Universe
Other than the differing body design, the Panlantic is no different from the Pony in terms of performance: it is moderately fast, corners poorly, and becomes damaged easily.

Prominent Appearances in Missions
Grand Theft Auto III
- In Grand Theft Aero, two vans spawn outside the airport hangar.
Locations
Due to its affiliation with the Panlantic Construction Company, the van is typically only seen parked in construction sites; specifically, Panlantic's Fort Staunton construction yard in GTA III. The van is also allegedly used by Colombian Cartel members in GTA III, as is the case in "Grand Theft Aero", in line with allegations that Panlantic is a front for the Cartel.
Grand Theft Auto III
- All vans spawn on the Fort Staunton construction site.
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- This van does not appear anywhere in game and can be only obtained with Cheat Device or Action Replay codes.
Trivia
Grand Theft Auto III

- In the Android version of GTA III, the front bumper is much brighter than its counterparts.
- In the IOS version of GTA III, the back bumper is missing.
