About Coupe

A coupe or coupé (, also US: ) is a passenger car with a sloping or truncated rear roofline and typically with two doors. The term coupé was first applied to horse-drawn carriages for two passengers without rear-facing seats. It comes from the French past participle of couper, "cut". Some coupé cars only have two seats, while some also feature rear seats. However, these rear seats are usually lower quality and much smaller than those in the front.
