The Savanna is based on a [[:wp:Chevrolet Impala#1961-1964|1963 Chevrolet Impala]] with the top portion of the grille altered to resemble that of the 1964 Impala (in [[Content Changes in GTA San Andreas|early]] screenshots, however, the grille is not altered, completely resembling the '63's), with the back sporting a pair of double taillights similar to those on the [[:wp:Chevrolet Bel Air|Chevy Bel Air]] and [[:wp:Chevrolet Biscayne|Biscayne]]. The name "Savanna" is likely a reference to the Impala, as the animal of that name is found on the savannas. While normally appearing with only an open top, the car can be modified in [[Loco Low Co.]] to feature a hard top or a soft convertible top.

While normally appearing with only an open top, the car can be modified in [[Loco Low Co.]] to feature a hard top or a soft convertible top.
Being a lowrider, the Savanna can be used in the [[Lowrider Challenge|lowrider competion]] if hydraulics are equipped (Savanna's do not always spawn with hydraulics). It is also a four-door car, making it rather suitable for drive-bys and transporting gang members. Like the [[Hermes]], it cannot be blown up with a fuel cap shot, as it does not have a visible fuel cap (not even shooting the license plate works).

The Savanna's main merit is its speed, with quite good acceleration to complement this. However, cornering is poor due to the car being heavy and bulky. Like the [[Blade]], the car's brakes are very sensitive, giving it very responsive stopping power at any speed; this, however, risks a spin-out if the driver steers while braking (for instance, in a handbrake turn).
