The OMC Coupe is a small, simple two-doored vehicle, capable of taking up to four people just about anywhere there is something resembling a road. It is manufactured by OMC.
The Coupe is a vehicle that is intended for the Nepleslian market. While it is certainly cheap, it was designed to be affordable yet practical, utilizing inexpensive materials and construction techniques in order to bring the vehicle down to roughly the price of a nice handgun- something any Nepleslian can afford. Its purpose is to fill the Nepleslian transportation gap between walking distance, and the long-distance shuttle service, as well as to allow someone the capability of moving objects larger than they can carry short-medium distances.
The Coupe is a small, boxy vehicle with a large enclosed cabin, relative to its size. The front and rear of the vehicle are much lower than the roof, with the height difference made at the windshield and rear window. The wheels are tucked away in wheel wells to protect them from things coming from above. The rear wheels have flared fenders to add a bit of style to the vehicle.
The Coupe is available in any color one can name or provide a sample for, at no extra cost. Specific color schemes and patterns may also be requested, but may carry an extra charge (around 50-150 KS depending on the complexity)
The Coupe is a small vehicle which may use either an old-fashioned internal combustion as a power plant, or an Electric motor powered by batteries, getting power to the wheels through a transmission, which is connected to a driveshaft, then a differential, and through the axle, finally entering the rear wheels. It is constructed of light Durandium Alloy with transparent Durandium windows, making it fairly tough for its size. Safety systems include a radio that can be used to call for help, and seat belts to keep occupants in their seats in the event of a collision or accident. The cabin is reached via doors on the side which are hinged directly beneath the windshield and swing forward and outward. The trunk is reached by a lid on the back, which can be either released from a handle under the dashboard, or a handle on the trunk lid.
Top speed: 75 MPH Range: Limited to land . Crew: 1 Driver, up to 4 passengers. climb/descent: 40% grade
Mass: 1/2 ton Length: 4.2 meters Height: 1.4 meters Width: 1.6 meters
The Coupe has a choice of two transmissions, a Manual and an Automatic. The manual transmission is a six speed with a low range option and overdrive, while the automatic is a four speed with lower range and overdrive. The manual transmission puts more power to the wheels and is more efficient, but the Automatic transmission is great for general use and people not used to manual transmissions.
The tires are made of Silicone rubber with Durandium belting for strength. The wheels these tires are mounted to are made of polished Durandium.
The Coupe uses independent suspension, which gives it a very smooth, comfortable ride, and helps the vehicle around corners. Independent suspension reduces body roll and helps to keep the tires planted firmly on the ground, making the Coupe more efficient then a vehicle with solid axles.
The Coupe contains a radio system which allows the user to hear any public channel. It also has a handset which allows them to call for help, or communicate with nearby people.
The Coupe's rear cargo area is an enclosed space behind the rear seats in which stuff can be thrown. There are small D-rings which allow elastic cables and ropes to be used to tie down equipment.
