Nightshade

"Don't be fooled by the elegant lines and composed styling: like every great muscle car before it, the Nightshade puts out more power than it (or you) can possibly handle. Few cars present as big as a risk to oncoming traffic, or look this good on the back of a tow truck."

- Legendary Motorsport Description.

The Imponte  is a two-door muscle car introduced in Grand Theft Auto Online, as part of the GTA Online: Executives and Other Criminals Update.

Design
The vehicle takes a large amount of influence from the 1971-1973 Chevrolet Camaro, especially in the front fascia, front grille, headlight arrangement and overall body shape. There is also a striking resemblance to the second generation Pontiac GTO (1968 - 1973), apparent in the lighting arrangement and front fascia. The rear lights are based on the 1970 Pontiac Firebirds light arrangement.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Nightshade has acceptable acceleration, and an average top speed for the class. Its handling is remarkably good, keeping some semblance of traction despite being a muscle car. Oversteer is less common than other Muscle cars, and easier to correct. It feels very nice handling, but this is mostly due to being underpowered compared to other Muscles, and less viable for racing. Crash deformation is excellent, and can take several head-on hits before taking damage.

Grand Theft Auto Online

 * Can be purchased from Legendary Motorsport for $585,000.

Trivia

 * Interestingly both the Phoenix and the Ruiner, both Imponte cars, have their front heavily based on the 1970 Pontiac Trans Arm and their rear heavily based on the 1970-1973 Chevrolet Camaro, while the Nightshade is the opposite (front from the Camaro and rear from the Trans Am).
 * Some elements of the Nightshade's design seems to be based on the Spectre Performance Camaro, most notably the extended wheel arches.
 * The Nightshade does not have reversing lights.
