Cherry Bomb (Fallout 4)

The Chryslus Cherry Bomb was a sports car produced by Chryslus Motors prior to the Great War.

Characteristics
The Cherry Bomb is a single-seat, commercial-grade vehicle whose design is dictated by one desire: To break the sound barrier. Every aspect of the car is tuned towards that goal, with a body designed to minimize air resistance without losing traction, and a single-piece cockpit to minimize turbulence. Although promoted in cherry red paint, it was also available with light blue, mint green, yellow, and black paints, each with a joystick for steering and onboard screen.

Powered by a 950 horsepower atomic V8 engine, it was capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 miles per hour (96 km/h) in 0.3 seconds, and reaching top speeds "once reserved for Army Space Troopers". The flexi-glass dome is rated not only as shatter-proof, but also capable of stopping small arms fire, making it safe "from the golden fields of Oklahoma to the streets of downtown Boston".

Locations
The Cherry Bomb is commonly found on the East Coast, with 216 found in the Boston metropolitan area, 27 on Mount Desert Island, and five in the ruins of Nuka-World, one of which is perfectly preserved car in Bradberton's private vault. The Cherry Bomb was prolific in Appalachia, with a total of 256 found in several variants across the region. Specific locations include:

Behind the scenes

 * The Cherry Bomb was created late into development, as designers wanted to include a "sleek sports car" before the end of the project.
 * The vehicle resembles the Firebird 3, a concept car created in 1959.
 * The Cherry Bomb was added to Forza Motorsport 6 as part of a crossover promotion. It is called Chryslus Rocket 69, in reference to the classic Rocket 69 song, and was accompanied by a trailer styled after contemporary vehicle advertisements. Anyone who played or bought either Forza Motorsport 6 or Fallout 4 on Xbox One through May 2016 would have received a promotional code that would unlock the 2069 Chryslus Rocket 69 pack. It was subsequently released for purchase as a regular Forza DLC, either bundled or standalone.
