"Whether you are looking for the classic hood ride, or iconic muscle worthy of The Beach Boys song based on this car, the 409 delivers. The “six-fo” SS 409 started a movement that bred cars like the GTO and Boss 302. It begs for customization but also stands proud in its stock form. “None shall pass” once that second four-barrel kicks in, so long as you are headed in a straight line."—Official description (Forza Horizon)[1]
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport 409 - abbreviated as "Chevy Impala" - is a rear-wheel drive full-size car by Chevrolet.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 4 and all subsequent Forza main titles.
It was featured in Forza Motorsport 5 as part of the IGN Car Pack and as a Specialty Dealer car in Forza Motorsport 7 from October 25, 2017 to November 1, 2017.

Trivia[]
- The Impala SS 409 has a front weight percentage of 58% its Xbox 360 appearances.
- The Impala SS 409 in Forza Motorsport 5 is required for unlocking the achievement "West Coast Gold", which requires the player to collect five gold medals with the car. The name of the achievement is a reference to the car's popularity in the West Coast hip hop scene.[3]
- Another reference to the West Coast hip hop scene can be found in Forza Motorsport 7, where the Forza Edition variant grants players bonus credits for racing at Long Beach, the birthplace of the rapper Snoop Dogg.
