Dartz Kombat

Dartz Motorz Company (Latvian: Dartz Motorz Uzņēmums; Russian: Dartz Моторз Kомпании) is a privately held Latvian-based corporation, that designs, manufactures, and sells high performance armored vehicles.^[1][2][3] Having constituted itself from a renovated, former Russo-Balt factory in Riga, Latvia,^[4][5] the company recently attained notoriety with its current model – the Prombron – in part because it was originally available in upholstered leather that was made from the foreskin of whale penises.^[6] The Prombron comes in eight distinct models, they are, the Iron Diamond, Iron Xtal, Monaco Red Diamond Edition, Black Dragon, Black Russian, Gold Russian, Aladeen, and the Monako.^[7] The Prombron is then available in either the Saloon (sedan), or the Pullman (wagon), which can then be customized into a standard based, short based, or long based versions.^[8] Prombrons are also available in several armoring levels, from B2 to B7, with the B7 designed to withstand attacks from rocket propelled grenades, and land mines.^[9][10] In terms of performance the Prombron is equipped with a Duramax V8 engine, or a Vortec V8 engine,^[8] which provides the vehicle with a healthy top speed of 180 km/h (110 mph).

In 2010, Red Sea Distribution announced that the T-98 Kombat would be available in North America for a list price starting at $225,000.^[11][12] However, just two years later the T-98 Kombat was phased out, and the Prombron was released.

The Dartz Prombron Monaco Red Diamond Edition was shown at the 2010 Top Marques in Monaco,^[13] with an expected price of €1,000,000 ($1.25 million), it would become the world's most expensive SUV ever sold.^[14] Features included white gold - ruby embedded badges as well as a gold-plated, bullet-proof windows, an exhaust system made out of tungsten, diamond - ruby encrusted gauges, a Kevlar exterior coating, and leather made out of whale penises, although the latter was dropped.^[15] The Prombron Monaco Red Diamond Edition also comes with three bottles of the world's most expensive vodka, RussoBaltique.^[16]
