coupeboth

A coupeboth is a type of automobile that combines features of a coupe and a convertible. The term itself is a portmanteau, blending the words "coupe" and "convertible." Essentially, a coupeboth is a car that offers a fixed roof structure, similar to a coupe, but also incorporates a retractable roof panel or section. This allows for an open-air driving experience when desired, while still providing the structural integrity and potentially more refined aesthetics of a coupe.

The retractable element of a coupeboth can vary. Some might feature a full sunroof that slides back, while others might have a more elaborate hardtop that folds away, similar to a retractable hardtop convertible. This design offers a degree of versatility, allowing the driver to adapt the car to different weather conditions or personal preferences. It can provide the benefits of a coupe, such as a quieter cabin and better insulation, when the roof is closed, and the enjoyment of open-air motoring when it is retracted. Coupeboths are typically found in sports car or luxury car segments, where a blend of performance and style is often a priority.
