Being a lowrider, the Savanna can be used in the [[Lowrider Challenge|lowrider competion]] if hydraulics are equipped (Savannas don't always spawn with hydraulics). It is a four-door, making it rather suitable for drive-bys and transporting gang members. The [[Grove Street Families]] use the Savanna as one of their gang cars. 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 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 [[Beta Releases|beta]] screenshots, however, the grille isn't altered, completely resembling the '63's). The back has a pair of double taillights similar to those of the [[wikipedia:Chevrolet Bel Air|Chevy Bel Air]] and [[wikipedia:Chevrolet Biscayne|Biscayne]].

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.


The name "Savanna" is likely a reference to the Impala, as the animal of that name is found on savannas.
