what is a donk car

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 in the Miami hip-hop scene of the 1990s, where it was used to describe lifted cars with oversized wheels. Donks are often customized with high-performance racing engines, striking visual accents, and flashy features such as elaborate graphics, paint treatments, additional chrome plating, and customized interiors with programmable lighting and entertainment systems. Donks are popular with young people and hip-hop stars because they are flashy and fun to drive. Donk cars can be built from scratch or purchased pre-built, with pre-built donks costing up to $100,000. Donks are designed to be fast and are often modified for street racing. While donks are traditionally based on the Chevrolet Caprice or Impala, the term has shifted away from its roots and attached itself to other vehicle selections.
