coupe
Sporty car type
A coupe is a car with a fixed roof, two doors, and a sloping back—sporty and compact compared to a sedan.
The term originally described a horse-drawn carriage with an enclosed body for two passengers.
In glassware, a coupe is a shallow, broad-bowled stemmed glass, the classic shape for champagne before flutes became fashionable.
