Chryslus Corvega was a brand of American automobiles and a marque division of Chryslus Motors Corporation prior to the Great War that produced several commercial-use cars and construction equipment.

Overview[]

Corvega was the flagship brand of Chryslus Motors and one of the dominant forces on the automotive market after the resource crisis rendered combustion engines largely extinct. Using a brand name dating back as early as 2056, Chryslus relaunched the marque as a broad line of electric, fission, and fusion automobiles available in a variety of models.[1]

The price of an old model Corvega in 2077 was $199,999.99; despite that, they remained extremely popular. However, despite their popularity, their standards of manufacture seemed to have deteriorated, with coupes manufactured in 2077 having a tendency to leak coolant.[2]

Models[]

Model name Image Description
Analog Coupe
A wrecked original Corvega, found on the wall of Junktown in Fallout
A classic two-door sports coupe with an oversized, front-mounted engine, the original Corvega Coupe featured an 800 horsepower fusion power plant capable of going from zero to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 0.5 seconds. Driving it was a challenge, however, as it was completely analog with no onboard electronics.[3]
Atomic V-8
The Atomic V-8 Corvega
A rugged, dependable sedan that was one of the most popular models in the Corvega line, available across the United States.[4] The Atomic V-8 was sold with two or four doors, a flat-top and a bubble-top,[2] and available in a variety of colors. The interior was commonly lined with red leather, especially in the second-generation models that entered the market before the Great War.[Non-game 1]
Bubble top

A two-door coupe with a bubble top styling; its advertisement was on billboards.

Fo4 Corvega Blitz Iso
Advertised as an economical and family friendly coupe, the Blitz was a variant of the Corvega line designed to combine good performance with low maintenance requirements, excellent fuel efficiency, and four seats.[5]

F76 flying car
A cutting-edge vehicle built for two passengers and capable of taking to the air.[6]
Megaloader

Other products[]

Corvega also developed the Corvega Multipurpose Utility Vehicle subsystem for use with their industrial vehicles from a remote computer terminal. The exact extent of the software's functionality is unclear, as the only known usage of it is to raise and lower a crane found at Hub City Auto Wreckers.[7]

Locations[]

Notes[]

  • Several four-door Corvegas can be found in the Tranquility Lane simulation in Fallout 3. Like the rest of the simulation, they appear as they did pre-War, without rust, and with a complete paint job.
  • A four-door Corvega in pre-War condition can be found on the maintenance level of Mothership Zeta in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta, yet unlike the other pristine examples, the windows are not transparent.
  • A model sedan Corvega can be found on a desk in Allistair Tenpenny's penthouse in Tenpenny Tower. However, it is unobtainable.
  • If the player character purchases the pre-War theme for the Tenpenny Tower suite, there is also a model sedan Corvega next to a model house sitting on a side table.
  • All of the intact Corvegas only have door handles on the driver side, with the ones on the passenger side missing. This is likely a simple developer oversight as the wrecked version does have door handles on the remaining passenger door.
  • Many times, ruined automobiles such as the Corvega are found with suitcases in the back, despite the area being used to mount a nuclear reactor.
  • The original Corvega's acceleration from 0-60 MPH in 0.5 seconds with 800 HP is implausible, but not impossible. To accelerate from 0-60 MPH in that time, either the car (with driver) would need to weigh under 1800 lbs., or a 2500+ lb. car would need 1500-2000 HP. In addition, accelerating from 0-60 in 0.5 seconds would produce around 5.5 g's, which could lead to blackouts if sustained for more than a few seconds.
  • Some of these cars including other vehicles found around the wasteland are still intact. In Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 some cars still have an intact reactor and can be destroyed. These can be distinguished by there almost pristine paint job and having all or half of the doors. When these cars are damaged, by gunfire or melee weapons, a small explosion can be heard and fire can be seen towards the front of the car. This serves as warnings that the car is about to explode. At low levels, the player can be instantly killed by the explosion.

Appearances[]

Corvegas appear in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.

Behind the scenes[]

  • The symbol on the hood of the four-door Corvega is the same as the one that can be found on several Chevrolet vehicles from the 1950s, including the 1957 "Bel-Air."
  • The name Corvega is a portmanteau of two Chevrolet car models: the Corvette and the Vega.The Corvette half of the name comes from the fact that the first model of Corvega seen in "Fallout" strongly resembles the first generation Corvette and the Corvette Mako Shark concept car.
  • Despite being produced by the Chryslus Corporation, a nod to the Chrysler Corporation, the Corvega is meant to be a Chevrolet car. The sedan model from Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 appears to resemble the General Motors Le Sabre, while the model from Fallout shares many design and styling features with both the first generation 1950's Chevrolet Corvette as well as the Corvette Mako Shark.
    • Fallout 4's rendition of the sedan is inspired by design cues from 1950's Lincoln and Edsel sedan models from the front fascia and resembles the Buick XP-300 from the sides and rear fascia.
    • The coupe seen only in Fallout 4 strongly resembles the Desoto Adventurer II concept car.
