Phoenix Hovercar (Apocalypse)
The Phoenix is manufactured by Marsec mainly for military purposes. This sleek but rugged vehicle is used for reconnaissance in dangerous environments such as the Mars colony. A variety of weapon and engine configurations can be used and a well equipped Phoenix is more than a match for a police Hovercar. From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia

Cityscape Information

The Phoenix Hovercar is a simple military flying car for commanders that want to fight in style. It sports two standard small weapon hardpoints, by default a laser gun and a Janitor Missile Array, and a normal upgrade module slot you probably want a fire control module in. It's a cheap combat vehicle that is small and fast enough to dodge most incoming hostile attacks, though it is more vulnerable than a hoverbike. It's best used in groups or as support for hoverbike fleets.
The Hovercar gets renewed viability in the late game thanks to Disruption Shields. Its 2x2 cargo bay can fit a shield, giving an extra 200HP buffer that more than triples its endurance. This lets it survive against alien missiles and weapons that would otherwise destroy swarm craft. However, it's small weapon slots limit it to standard human weaponry, and while janitor missiles, and the Lineage Plasma Cannon offer decent damage output, the logistics of maintaining a large fleet can become prohibitive against high power UFOs.
