    In WWII, a Q-ship was a German commerce raider. It was disguised to look like a tramp steamer, totally innocent looking. When the enemy ship came within range, the Q ship dropped its phony superstructure, exposed its guns, and sank the enemy ship! At the start of the war, they were sinking as much or more tonnage than the famous U-boat fleet.

    German boat - German car; "Q"- Quattro; innocuous looks (innocent A4) conceal dangerous power (2.7L TT).
