Cuprino

The Cuprino is a vehicle featured in RAGE. It is the most recognized vehicle in the Wasteland. Cuprinos are usually driven by the Wellspring Speedway star racers, and the bandits are also known to use Cuprinos on occasion, especially in the Eastern Wasteland. It can enter the Cuprino class races.

The Cuprino is an all-purpose armored vehicle capable of carrying both the Miniguns and Rocket Launchers at the same time, allowing the player to switch between the weapon sets at any time. It also has an upgradable battering ram attached. By default, the Cuprino has double the boost duration of the buggies.

In the Campaign, it is only available after completing the quests "Win the Dusty 8" and "Cuprino Needed".

It should be noted that the Cuprino is driven by Nicholas Raine longer than any other vehicle during his time in the Wasteland, as he starts using it when he begins Sheriff Black's quests and uses it until he's given a Monarch, although the players are not forced to convert over to the Monarch.
