Corvega

The Corvega was a car model manufactured by Chryslus Motors, popular in pre-war USA. There were at least three models produced before the war in this line. According to the Fallout intro the Corvega does not have electronic parts (only analog system) and can go from 0 to 60 mph in .5 of a second. Still unknown is when the Corvega came onto the market, but in 2056 it was already available for customers. Its 2060's cost (directly after the invasion of US forces into Canada) was $199,999.99 which was either due to being a high-end luxury automobile, or more likely, inflation due to the high number of them throughout the wastelands.

There at least three different makes of the Corvega in Fallout 3, none of which exactly match either design on the billboards or posters that can be found throughout the Capital Wasteland, although there are similarities between them and one model can be found throughout the Corvega Factory.

Inconsistent with previous Fallout games, where vehicles were stated to run on electric engines drawing power from onboard batteries, the cars were supposedly nuclear powered, with a small reactor to the rear of the vehicle. If a car hit by gunfire still has its reactor, it may catch fire, exploding shortly afterwards, accompanied by a mushroom cloud.
