WORLD OF COUPE CARS

De Tomaso Longchamps

The Longchamp, introduced in 1972, was effectively a coupe version of the Deauville. It used a slightly shorter wheelbase chassis with the same suspension, engine and transmissions. The body design also showed the family resemblance, despite being a two door coupe. Accomodation was provided for two (plus two at a push). The bodies were constructed by Ghia and in 1980 a cabiolet version was introduced. Production continued at a very low rate until 1989 by which time 395 coupes and 14 spyders had been built.

_WHAT_IS_COUPE

A coupe (or coupé) is a two or four-seater car with a fixed roof and two doors. The style is generally used for sportier models in a manufacturer's range.In the 19th century, a coupé was a carriage with two doors enclosing seating for two with an exposed area on the front for a driver. In recent times it has become very common for a coupe's roof to slope down at the back in a shallow 'streamlined' fashion.This is sometimes called a 'fastback' design. Speakers of American English pronounce the word to rhyme with "sloop" (IPA) /ku:p/).and spell it without an accent. In Europe and the UK, the original French spelling and a semi-French pronunciation are often used — ( /'ku:pe?/).
