The Überchassis modded to be able to be driven.
The Überchassis is a civilian vehicle. It is a luxury sports car which seats for two.[1] It is similar in size and function to the MLX, albeit seen more frequently.
In Halo 2, it can be seen in various places in Outskirts and Metropolis. One of these is sitting on the pedestal in the offensive base of Terminal.
Über, is German for over, beyond, about or "super", and chassis comes from the Latin word for case, so a direct translation for Überchassis would be "over case". The word Über has become frequently used in non-German popular expressions to describe something as being a superlative example of its kind or class.
