sleeper car

Train with beds

A sleeper car is a railroad car fitted with beds or berths for overnight travel, allowing passengers to sleep while the train moves between distant cities.

The term also applies to automobiles: a sleeper car is a vehicle with an unassuming exterior that conceals high-performance modifications or a powerful engine, designed to surprise competitors who underestimate it.

That rusty-looking Civic turned out to be a sleeper car with a turbocharged engine.
