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.

Despite its hefty price tag of $199 999 999, Chryslus boasted it became the fastest-selling vehicle in the company's history after its introduction in 2069, as an ultimate expression of American individuality. Powered by a 950 horsepower atomic V8 power plant, 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

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.
