A donk car is a heavily modified 1971-76 Chevrolet Caprice or Impala that features high ground clearance and large, low-profile tires. The term "donk" originated from the nickname for the Chevrolet Impala or Caprice, which was "the donkey". Nowadays, the term is loosely used for any customized vehicle with large tires. Donks have gained popularity in recent years, especially among young people and hip-hop stars. They are known for their flashy style and attention to detail, with each donk reflecting its owners personality and taste. Donks have dedicated shops, clubs, and car shows around the U.S. . They are often modified with personalized graphic and paint treatment, extra chrome plating, elaborate interiors, adjustable lighting, and powerful entertainment systems. Donks are also used in drag racing events, and their performance modification is on the rise. Popular vehicles that are modified into "donks" include Chevy Impala and Caprice.
