Chevrolet Impala Takes Flight, Lands Hard: Video

Back in June, we covered a video from YouTuber Mark Freeman #408 in which a beat-up Pontiac Wave got the full send treatment off a dirt jump, sending it flying into the air. Now, the boys are back at it with the vehicular shenanigans, this time with a Chevrolet Impala.

The victim Chevrolet Impala is found among several other abused automobiles, including the Pontiac Wave we covered previously. By the look of it, these folks don’t have a whole lot of mechanical sympathy.

Of course, before it’s sent into space, the Chevrolet Impala first needs a quick jump start. Once it springs to life, the muffler-free exhaust note blasts across the field, and the crew takes it for a test drive, rear bumper hanging and trunk lid flopping up and down with the bumps.

Next up, the crew decides the front tires have way too much rubber on them, so they go ahead and do a “bumper burnout” against the side of the now-wrecked Pontiac Wave.

The Chevrolet Impala looks like it’s in a bad way, but it’s still got the goods for a dirt ramp jump, so with that, the sedan is lined up, the steering wheel is set, the throttle is floored, the driver exits, and well, away she goes.

After takeoff, the Chevy manages to clear the gap, but lands hard on the other side. After bouncing, the Chevrolet Impala rolls onto the roof, coming to a rest at the bottom of the landing.

The crew captures the flight from a number of different angles, including several cameras on the ground, a drone hovering above, and even a camera mounted inside the cabin.

All told, the experiment is deemed a success, and the Chevrolet Impala is done. If you enjoy watching silly stunts, cars flying in the air, and dirty crashes, then this video provides exactly that.

    1. Corona is over. But the Democrats want to keep the fear in weak minded people up until the election.

  2. To destroy a running driving car is such a waste! I think GM Authority should post more Stories and Videos celebrating GM cars Old and New rather than showing wasteful destruction of these idiots. I’m also tired of seeing crashed Corvettes on this site.

    2. The Impala was a boring car and making it fly is kind of funny. They purposely choose cars that aren’t worth anything when they pull stunts like this.
      If they could get enough views, they’d have used a brand new Impala.

    1. If you think the only way a car can be “good” is with rwd then you’re an absolute idiot, ever heard of a reliable daily driver? Probably not with the way you talk about cars, my 02 impala isn’t anything special but it doesn’t break down every 2 weeks and sounds decent, that’s all most people need, especially one that can run for over 10 years with less than $2,000 in replacement parts, if you know how to replace them yourself that is.

      1. Thanks for indicating how narrow your thinking is. A reliable daily driver suits about 70% of the general population, 35% of those also frequent a race track, to “vent” the “need for speed!!!” For the rest of us who “excitement” drive, being a spectator isn’t good enough & REAR WHEEL DRIVE allows capabilities squashed by front/ all wheel drive. I am a serious proponent of “KNOW YOUR VEHICLE”… so Do YOU??? Mine is CHERRY, STILL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY CHEVY, only “Ruby” has about $7000 worth of upgrades putting Her on par against ANY of the new vehicles, but She is appraised, track CERTIFIED, & has won at car shows. Take good care of yours… They don’t make ‘um like these anymore. My daughter now drives my 04 Impala… Also CHERRY. They are amazing vehicles.💜

    2. What are your thoughts on the 1966 Toronado?

  6. I had an 2002 Impala and current own a 2016 Impala LTZ. Seeing this video makes me cry. My 02 Impala I drove it cross country a few times, ah great memories. I love my 16 Impala with the 305HP v6, I don’t care if it’s front wheel drive. People can argue all they want it’s still an Impala GM redesigned it can named it so it is what it is.

    1. I understand… I’m having a serious romance with my 08!!! There comes a point when things that DON’T betray you start to matter waaaaaaaaay more than those in the past that DID betray… I see mine as a reliable investment… She has never let me down!!! …a rolling proof of the ole slogan “With You Down The Road.”💜💞💜

  7. People get way too emotional over mass produced products made by huge corporations.
    Hell, you can see rusty and smashed up versions of these things on the road all the time, to say nothing of the occasional wreck.
    Don’t cry or feel bad because some metal and plastic got bent and broken.

  8. Corona is over? Seriously don’t follow current events much do you Robert. Blaming the Democrats for the current potus’s lack off response is akin to him having the ” largest crowd to ever witness any POTUS being sworn in” and ” he’s the greatest POTUS ever, period”. What’s over is this idiots time in
    office. Well past time. Idiots like you voted this dolt in and this year we are righting the ship.
    The torch will be passed from narrow minded – mess, and this liar n chief to someone who can lead, not just brag and applaud his nonexistent acheivments. He’s a lousy business man, a false philanthropist, an unfaithful husband and not even close to anything the right would consider ” Christ like”.
