GTA 6 Impaler SZ: the Impala SS Sedan

The Declasse Impaler SZ turns up in three of Rockstar’s screenshot sets — Vice City, the Leonida Keys and the Grassrivers — with black lower trim where GTA Online’s had chrome. It copies the mid-1990s Chevrolet Impala SS.

Identified

Identified in Rockstar’s footage by outside editors; Rockstar has not named it. Rockstar has published no vehicle statistics for GTA 6, so this page prints none.

Impaler SZ in GTA 6 — what changed, and the real car

Each answer carries how settled it is and who settled it. Where nobody has said, the card says that instead of guessing — and says what stays open even after the answer.

Has the Impaler SZ been seen in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

Yes — in an official screenshot.

Impaler SZ appears in screenshots of Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers. These are identifications made from Rockstar’s own footage — Rockstar has not named the vehicle in any of them.

Still open — Whether it can be driven, bought or modified — none of that shows in a frame.

What changed on the Impaler SZ in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

Black plastic lower trim instead of chrome, and new stock wheels — seen in screenshots of Vice City, the Leonida Keys and the Grassrivers.

GTA Wiki finds the Impaler SZ in three of Rockstar’s screenshot sets — Vice City, the Leonida Keys and the Grassrivers — and reads two changes from GTA Online: the lower trim is black plastic where it was chrome, and the wheels are new stock rims. GTA 6 Intel confirms the official screenshot.

Still open — Whether the GTA Online trims and customisation carry over.

What is the Impaler SZ based on?

Shown, not stated

The 1994–1996 Chevrolet Impala SS — the 1995–1996 cars, by the mirrors and the rear pillar.

GTA Wiki dates it to the 1995–1996 Impala SS from the side mirrors and C-pillar, with chrome trim, boot and single exhaust from the Impala SS’s base car, the fourth-generation Chevrolet Caprice; GTA 6 Intel names the 1994 Impala SS. In GTA Online it arrived with The Chop Shop.

Still open — Rockstar never names the real car it draws from — this is a reading of the shape.

Has the Impaler SZ been in earlier GTA games?

Stated

Yes — GTA Online.

The name returns from Rockstar’s earlier releases, which GTA Wiki lists for it. What carries over is the name and the maker; whether GTA 6’s model drives or costs the same is not known.

Still open — Whether anything beyond the name and the look carries over.

How much does the Impaler SZ cost in GTA 6?

Nobody has said

Not announced. The same car costs $1,280,000 in GTA Online.

Rockstar has published no GTA 6 vehicle prices. $1,280,000 is the price in GTA Online, the previous game, as GTA Wiki records it; nothing says GTA 6 will keep it.

Still open — The GTA 6 price, and whether it can be bought at all rather than taken.

How we checked this page

GTA Wiki is the source for the three screenshot sets and the two changes, black trim and stock wheels; GTA 6 Intel confirms the car was revealed in Rockstar’s screenshots. Both name the 1994–1996 Impala SS. The GTA Online price card is GTA Intel’s $1,280,000, which was not in Rockstar’s May 2026 price cut.
