The brand new GTA Online weekly update of 2025 has brought the Declasse Impaler LX back into the limelight as the newest Podium Vehicle. The four-door muscle/sedan debuted in Los Santos in 2023 as part of The Chop Shop DLC update. Rockstar seemingly took design inspiration from a couple of real-life automobiles for its design:

  • 1980–1985 Chevrolet Impala – Overall design
  • Chevrolet Caprice – Singe-beam headlights, chrome roof trim, and bumpers
  • 1978–1979 Oldsmobile 88 – Tail lights

The cop variant of the car, the Declasse Impaler LX Cruiser, also shares the same design.

In terms of performance, the vehicle can reach a top speed of 115.50 mph (185.88 km/h) and complete a lap in about 1:07.969.

  • 13th-generation 2014–2018 Ford F-150
  • Shelby F-150
  • VWerks Predator Package for the F-150.
  • 1st-generation Raptor
  • Facelifted 12th-generation Ford F-Series
  • 2014–2021 Toyota Tundra
  • 2nd-generation Nissan Titan
  • Ram Rebel TRX concept

When it comes to performance, the Caracara 4x4 can complete a lap in 1:10.538 and reach a maximum speed of 103.25 mph (166.16 km/h).


Rockstar will swap the aforementioned GTA Online Podium Vehicle and Prize Ride car with new rides on January 16, 2025.
