Chevrolet Impala

The Impala is a swift, mid-sized antelope from East Africa that can reach almost 50 mph. Unsurprisingly, Chevrolet named its successful series of family sedans after this beautiful animal. However, the Impala SS was the best edition, combining all the Impala lineup styles with powerful engines (via Motor Trend).

Produced from 1961 to 1969, the classic Impala SS featured 409 or 427 Big Block V8, loads of power and torque, and street credibility amongst racers. The Impala still lasts today.
