Überchassis

The Überchassis is a civilian vehicle. It is a luxury sports car which seats for two. It is similar in size and function to the MLX, albeit seen more frequently.

They were only seen Mombasa, and most of them were abandoned by their civilian owners when the Covenant invaded Earth.

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.

Trivia
There is a reference to this car in the level, Terminal, when the male announcer says, "Will the owner of the brown Überchassis, license code P0-WND, please return to your vehicle." On the license plate, it reads "P0-WND". This is a reference to "Pwned" or "owned", which is common gamer slang.
