hat tip Eric Crampton

While warmists want us all to drive hybrids or god for­bid fully elec­tric cars there are still vehi­cles out there that real men want. Every-time I drive past a Prius I want to go out and buy a Hum­mer just out of spite. That is until today, when I saw this post at Crampton’s blog.

It’s ugly but wow what spec’s. The SMH has an arti­cle on it.

A Russ­ian armoured-car builder is boast­ing that its lat­est vehi­cle has seats cov­ered with “whale-penis leather”.

The €1 mil­lion ($1.6 mil­lion) Dartz Prom­bron Monaco Red Dia­mond Edi­tion armoured car has been devel­oped by the same com­pany, Rus­soBal­tique, that built armoured vehi­cles for Tsar Nicholas, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky.

On its offi­cial web­site, the com­pany says the whale-penis leather is the same as that used by Greek ship­ping mag­nate Aris­to­tle Onas­sis on the yacht Christina O.

Onas­sis is rumoured to have had some of the barstools on the yacht, the world’s most expen­sive at the time, cov­ered in the con­tro­ver­sial leather.

The leather is not the only tacky acces­sory on the Prom­bron, which Dartz claims is the world’s most expen­sive SUV.

The bul­let­proof win­dows are gold-plated, the exhaust is made of tung­sten, the gauges are encrusted with dia­monds and rubies and the exte­rior has a Kevlar coating.

The car also comes with three bot­tles of the world’s most expen­sive Vodka, Rus­soBal­tique, although the web­site does warn prospec­tive buy­ers not to drink and drive.

I WANT one espe­cially with the Whale Penis leather inte­rior!!!! Imag­ine this painted up like the Orca. I won­der if Dartz would like to spon­sor the Whale?
