In 2009, Dartz attained notoriety with its
Prombron model, in part because it was originally available in upholstered leather made from the foreskins of
whale penises, which the company subsequently dropped after the controversy was publicized. The
Prombron came in nine distinct models: Iron Diamond, Iron Xtal, Monaco Red Diamond Edition, Black Dragon, Black Russian, Gold Russian, Aladeen, White Horse, and Monako. Since September 2014, the product line consists of
Prombron Black Shark and Black Snake. The
Prombron is available in either the Saloon (sedan) or the Pullman (wagon), offered in standard, short, or long
wheelbase. 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. However, just two years later the T-98 Kombat was phased out, and the
Prombron was released. Dartz's
Prombron Monaco Red Diamond Edition was shown at the 2010 Top Marques in
Monaco, with an expected price of
€1,000,000 (
$1.25 million), it would become the world's most expensive SUV. The features included white gold-ruby encrusted embedded badges as well as gold-plated, bullet-proof windows, an exhaust system made out of
tungsten, diamond-ruby encrusted gauges, and Kevlar exterior coating. It also comes with three bottles of the world's most expensive vodka,
RussoBaltique. Its website explains what animal skin the interior couches are made of, or how it smells, without actual information about the armor rating or vehicle's performance. ==Removal of "Z" from Dartz logo==
