      The Latvian company initially designed this vehicle for a Hollywood film.

      There is currently no information on how many miles this unusual creation has.

      It is powered by the original Hummer V8 engine and an automatic transmission.

      

      For years, Dartz has been producing some of the most eccentric and eye-catching vehicles worldwide. Now, as the Latvian manufacturer prepares to make its vehicles in the United States, one of its unique models is up for auction at Barrett-Jackson. The auction is set to occur in Palm Beach from April 24 to 26, and it’s certainly a ride you won't easily forget.

      The highlight is the Prombron Black Stallion, which, despite its bold name, is based on a Hummer H2. Dartz asserts it was originally created for a Hollywood film and entered the U.S. earlier this year. Although Barrett-Jackson hasn’t released a pre-auction price estimate for the vehicle, those looking to order a new Black Stallion from Dartz will have to spend at least $500,000.

      The Latvian firm has thoroughly revamped the Hummer's design. The original body panels have been substituted with entirely new parts, inspired by rugged military vehicles. It is also finished in a matte black color that, while labeled as “stealthy,” is far from subtle and is fitted with aftermarket wheels.

      Major alterations have also been made to the interior. It is now adorned with brown and white leather, reportedly featuring crocodile skin. Remaining true to its Hummer roots, the cabin appears quite spacious, although the quality doesn’t seem particularly high.

      The listing offers very little information regarding the vehicle’s condition. There’s no indication of its mileage, and it’s challenging to find concrete details about the V8 engine or the automatic transmission. Nevertheless, if you’re seriously considering investing a significant amount in this perplexing vehicle, it might be wise to check the listing yourself and see if you’re ready for a game of automotive Latvian roulette.

      While we think there’s a fair chance someone will purchase this unusual H2, we can’t imagine many will be willing to pay such a steep price for it. True, it’s attention-grabbing, but not necessarily in a positive way. However, that’s just our take; what are your thoughts on the crocodile-accented Prombron Black Stallion?
