1967 Chevrolet Impala

The 1967 Chevrolet Impala is a classic four-door hardtop muscle car featured in the Asphalt series.
== Description ==
The Chevrolet Impala is a full-size car built by Chevrolet for model years 1958 to 1985, 1994 to 1996, and 2000 to present. Deriving its name from the African antelope of the same name, Chevrolet's most expensive passenger model through 1965 had become the best-selling automobile in the United States. Engine choices included the inline six-cylinder as well as the small-block and big-block V8s. A new three-range Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission was optional for 396 cu in (6.5 L) V8. Two-speed Powerglide, as well as 3- and 4-speed manual transmissions were available. As with previous years, Impalas featured more chrome trim inside and out, with pleated tufted upholstery and door panels. The Impala would be the #2-selling convertible in the U.S. in 1966, with 38,000 sold; it was beaten by the Mustang by almost 2:1. 1966 saw a pair of enlarged big-block V8s measuring a massive 427 cubic inches. RPO L36 was rated at 385 horsepower, the L72 at 425. The L72 was only available with a manual transmission.

====Summary====
The 1967 Chevrolet Impala was added in the Championship Update originally as an Enduro Double Down-unlockable high-end Class A car but was postponed.
The "new" 1967 Chevrolet Impala was officially released in the Lunar New Year 2017 Update, and instead as a Multiplayer League reward.
With its debut update, the 1967 Chevrolet Impala's top speed had been significantly nerfed, but its acceleration, handling, and nitro stats remained nearly the same as the Class A original.

**This was changed to 1049 (+114) in the Hot Winter Season Update].

==== Performance====
The 1967 Chevrolet Impala performs similarly to the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. It features low nitro efficiency, slow acceleration and poor handling with a wide drifting radius.
With a top speed of 229.8 mph/370.1 km/h, the 1967 Chevrolet Impala technically qualifies as the sixth fastest car in Class D, behind the SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI, Buick Avista Concept, nanoFlowcell QUANTINO, Mazda RX-8, and Hyundai i30 N, and ahead of the Ariel Atom V8. However, it is unable to compete properly with these cars, and also the Donkervoort D8 GTO and Porsche 959, due to its overall poor performance apart from total top speed.
====Usage====
The 1967 Chevrolet Impala is largely a collector's car. While usable for TLEs, it is far from the best Class D TLE car. In Multiplayer, the 1967 Chevrolet Impala is above average in terms of speed, but nowhere near the "kings".
For example, a tune of 0504 4050, ET4811 @1099, results in a speed of 212.7 mph (342.3 km/h) with a Tuning Kit. Of course, the tune isn't perfect. However, it gives a rough outline of how well the 1967 Chevrolet Impala can perform in Multiplayer. At the same rank, the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe and Range Rover Evoque Coupe HSE Dynamic travel at 220.6-221.2 mph (355-356 km/h), while the Porsche 959 travels at over 221.8 mph (357 km/h). With its overall poor performance and inferior total top speed to these cars, the 1967 Chevrolet Impala is not recommended for use in Multiplayer, despite its "above-average" speed.
The 1967 Chevrolet Impala doesn't belong to any collections and isn't featured in Career Mode, but it can be used in Chevrolet-only events, though not very competitive, even at MAX+PRO.
====Price====
