You ain’t ready for the Dartz Prombron Black Stallion
It’s been built for a movie, and it’s based on a Hummer H2. It’s also wild
Dartz is back. Well, Latvia’s foremost purveyor of military-spec SUVs never really went away. Instead, it was working on this: the Prombron Black Stallion.
It’s… massive. Not really a surprise considering it’s based on a Hummer H2 drivetrain. The car you see pictured here – dripped in a vat of pure black menace, presumably – is a one-off, built for a movie Dartz cannot reveal.
However, were this to be bought by humans, Dartz told TG it would build ‘civil’ versions based on the Mercedes G-Class instead, or indeed heavily modify that H2 chassis and strap in a Hellcat engine, new gearbox and some fancy suspension.
This particular car’s running the stock H2 V8 engine, and while no performance data is available, Dartz assures us it’s fast enough “for chasing”. The body is made from Kevlar and carbon, and a special hexagonal carbon fibre.
It’s 500kg heavier than a standard H2, but again, any potential road-going versions will apparently get a carbon-Kevlar body instead to keep that bulk in check. Prices? You’re looking at €300,000 and upwards.
“We have our helicopter series cars as Black Alligator and Black Shark,” Dartz told us about the new one’s name. “Black Stallion is the next one in the helicopter series.” It was also Dartz’s desire to honour engineer Igor Sikorsky, who worked at Dartz’s “ancestor” R-BVZ.
Just imagine how wild this thing would look on the big screen…
