The Corvega "analog coupe",[1] officially known as the Corvega,[2] is a vehicle in Fallout and Fallout 2. It was part of the Corvega marquee by the Chryslus Motors Corporation.
Overview[]
The Corvega was a sports coupe with an oversized, front-mounted 800 horsepower engine that could go from zero to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 0.5 seconds. It was completely analog with no onboard electronics,[1] and sold for the price of $199,999.99.[2]
The Corvega was a popular vehicle across pre-War California.[3]
Notes[]
The Corvega's stated acceleration from 0-60 miles per hour in 0.5 seconds with 800 horsepower is implausible, but not impossible. To accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in that time, either the car (with driver) would need to weigh under 1800 pounds, or a 2500+ pound car would need 1500-2000 horsepower. 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.
Appearances[]
