$1.5m SUV Is Not The Dog's Danglies

Mad Russian armoured car set to outrage Greenpeace on two counts (at least)

---

You too can be one of the guys..

If you have $1.5m burning a hole in your pocket, get regular hate mail from the mob and, crucially, have a predilection for sitting on cetacean foreskins, you may just be the buyer that Russia's Dartz Group is seeking for this - the Prombron.

The less-than-understated Prombron is billed as the world's most expensive armoured car and, as well as a whale penis leather interior (yes, really!), it features tungsten and white gold gauges inset with diamonds and rubies, and comes with three bottles of exclusive RussoBaltique vodka - itself the most expensive Vodka in the world, which is also produced by Dartz.

The Prombron is actually an uber-exclusive edition of the $150,000 Dartz Kombat armoured vehicle, and revives RussoBaltique as the world's oldest armoured car brand. (According to Dartz, RussoBaltique was founded in 1912 in Latvia and made VIP tanks used by Tsar Nikolai II, Lenin and Trotsky.)

If you want to find out more check out the Dartz website - we're not sure we are brave enough to look...

how do you turn a $150,000 car into a $1.5 million car? it cant be 10 times better?
if it was 10 times better the original would be rubbish, which makes it very expensive

That is one of the drawbacks.

No it comes in gallons

Surely if they are seriously punting this to billionaires they'd have a tiny bit more sophisticated marketing material. As it stands it looks like it's advertising a something from Fisher Price - exclamation marks everywhere and playground phrases like e.g. "spaceship electronic"?

[nonplussed]

Fantastic. It even includes:

"RussoBaltique Vodka, drink edition,"

What, as opposed to the p*ss edition?

Well if you add the word Russian in front of billionaires then it starts to make more sense.

+1 we should just use the planet's resources up and enjoy doing it


Really hope stupid things like this still continue to get built!

[JumpinJack]

I instantly thought of this (before reading the whale penis part!)
