Template:Infobox vehicles
The Impaler is a personal luxury car featured in Grand Theft Auto 1 and a classic muscle car in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Arena War update. It is manufactured by Declasse in the HD Universe.
Design
Grand Theft Auto 1
The Impaler appears to be based on a 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird, although its name has a similarity to the Chevrolet Impala.
It has two variants: it can be found with its roof up in Liberty City, and with its roof down in Vice City. The Impaler appears with a continental kit on the back.
Grand Theft Auto Online
Template:Next-Gen The Impaler returns to Grand Theft Auto Online in the Arena War update, this time based on the fourth generation Chevrolet Impala. The car also has design cues from the 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle, especially for the rear end with tail lights on either side and reverse lights on bumper.
Like the Dukes, the Impaler's headlights rise from below, from the grille-plate. The Declasse logo can be found on the front end, rear quarters and rear end, with "DECLASSE" embossed on both ends and "Impaler" on the rear quarters. Most of its details, like the trimmings and the bumpers, can be painted with the secondary color, as well as its interior with the trim color.
The Impaler, if the player opts to not upgrade it into three other variants, has a great amount of modification options in Los Santos Customs, and can be modified to resemble it as a lowrider.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto 1
It is a fairly good performing car for its class; having a decent top speed, good handling and moderate durability.
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Impaler possesses good speed and average handling, but has bouts of spinning out if turning a corner too sharply. Durability is fairly good and can take a handful of collisions and gunfire before it starts to fail.
