German manufacturer of luxury automobiles. Precision-engineered status symbols for rich people.
— Description at Bawsaq.com.

Übermacht (German for 'Predominance' or 'Overpower') (BAWSAQ: UMA) is a German automotive and heavy construction equipment company featured in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series. It is likely a parody of the German automobiles manufacturer BMW. The player can buy stocks from them on the Bawsaq.com website in GTA V.

Overview[]

The term Übermacht is German for "supremacy" or "superior", a clear reference to stereotypical BMW owners having a feeling of superiority over the other marques when driving. An Oracle ad parodying BMW's ad style is seen on billboards around Liberty City, including one at Star Junction.

Influence[]

Übermacht appears to be heavily inspired by the German automaker BMW; the majority of the vehicles they manufacture resemble real world BMW cars, and numerous billboards and advertisements take inspiration from BMW marketing.

Alongside cars, Übermacht also manufacture heavy machinery and construction equipment, such as tower crane seen at construction sites in Grand Theft Auto V. These construction cranes appear to be based on those manufactured by Liebherr Group, a Swiss equipment manufacturer.

Like BMW, Übermacht has their own performance division, Sentinel Tuning Division, which is seemingly inspired by BMW M and Subaru Technica International.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • There is an advert for the Zion in Morningwood with the text "DISOBEY", and under it "The Design of Driving" which is a hint of its rivalry with Obey, which may be a parody of a billboard rivalry between BMW and Audi in Los Angeles around 2007[1]. Another one is placed on top of a building in Downtown Vinewood, coincidentally placed in front of an Obey billboard.
  • The Oracle, Sentinel and Rebla represent the original BMW model lineups (7-series, 3-series and X-series).
  • The names of four Übermacht vehicles could be references to the movie The Matrix. The Oracle is a reference to the computer program that helps humans fight the machines, the Zion is a reference to the last human city, the Sentinel is a reference to the model of killer robot the machines use against humans, the Cypher is a reference to the character who became a traitor to the protagonist group, and the Rhinehart could be named after Mr Rhineheart, the boss of MetaCortex, who the protagonist Thomas Anderson (Neo) worked for.
  • The Zion and the Sentinel appear to be sister vehicles, the Sentinel appears to be a smaller version of the Zion and the vehicles share similar design cues. Similarly to the real life version, the BMW 6 series appears to be a bulkier, more luxurious BMW 3 series convertible.
  • The Übermacht's slogan "The Design Of Driving" is a pun to the real-life BMW's "Sheer Driving Pleasure".
