Perhaps one of the strangest carmakers on the planet, Latvian boutique outfit Dartz makes SUVs unlike any other. The Prombron Black Stallion is one of its latest innovations and was originally designed for use in a movie. However, high demand from clients saw the company develop a publicly available version with a limited run of 20 units available. Production began in 2020, with only three examples built per year. The Black Stallion is built on the platform of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, although a Hummer-based version can also be built upon request.

The donor cars provide the off-road credentials, but it’s Dartz which is solely responsible for piling on the luxury. The brand is known for its use of eyebrow-raising upholstery materials, including a former option to deck seats out with leather made from whale skin. Due to backlash from organizations like Greenpeace and, strangely enough, from Pamela Anderson, that option is no longer available. However, Dartz still offers a range of unusual interior materials including Mississippi alligator leather.

Dartz primarily caters to European and Russian customers but also offers cars to Chinese buyers. Pricing varies considerably depending on each car’s specification, but the four-wheeled Black Stallion reportedly starts at €300,000 (around $330,000), while a six-wheeled variant costs at least €490,000 ($540,000).
