The already bulletproof and wildly over-the-top 8.1 liter GM V8-powered Dartz Kombat T98 is getting a name change to Prombron and along with it will come a complete and brain-maimingly bourgeoisie upgrade with the Monaco Red Diamond Edition. The world's most expensive ultra-luxury SUV will debut at the 2010 Top Marques Monaco show with luxe features crazy enough to make a Maybach blush. For your $1.5 million you get the following features:
1. Ruby Red matte paint
2. Gold-plated bulletproof windows
3. 22" Kremlin Red Star bulletproof wheels
4. Whale Penis Leather interior
5. Tungsten exhaust
6. Tungsten and white gold gauges with diamonds and rubies
7. White gold diamond and ruby encrusted badges - grill, side and dashboard
8. Special edition Vertu mobile phone with "alert" button
9. Additional outside kevlar coating
10. Rogue Acoustic Audio System.And, of course, of course -
THREE BOTTLES OF World Most Expensive Vodka - RussoBaltique Vodka, drink edition, same as in the RussoBaltique car when it visited Monaco at 1912.
We have a lot of questions about this car, most of them whale penis leather-related, but in the bigger picture, this brazen finger-in-the-eye raises a good point, so to speak. What makes a luxury vehicle? Things we used to think of as luxury - bovine leather, wood trim, high-end audio, etc., have become mainstream. Does it take exceptionally ridiculous material selection and bold ostentatious flair to define new luxury? Is it encapsulating yourself in a vehicle capable of taking a direct hit from a rocket propelled grenade? Does it mean emulating the wild excess of past luxury much like the Red Diamond is doing? Who knows. But we're betting the tzars would roll in one of these babies.
At least the shop appears clean.
Looks like a Tatra and a Delahaye mated, and their offspring got an Alfa nose job.
I actually sort of like the looks of it. Shouldn’t hold together stylistically, but it does.
Whooo, one pretty car here devolve! Ignore the thread Title!

Your the doctor, I am curious, how big is a whale penis?
Not so big that Chet would confuse it with an ICBM (weak movie reference).
Just check out post 42. ...or don’t.
LOL
Thanks, checked it out, kinda small for a whale, seen bigger ones on elephants (on TV not in person). I decided thats why elephants get mad during rut, that thing bounced off the ground as he ran.....ouchy.. then I understood why female elephants don’t much care for the process either...
“All the styling of an 88 Isuzu Trooper”
Understandable being that the Trooper was originally marketed to the South American market as a utility vehicle.
Does it have a grin on its face?

Thanks potlatch -
There were some superb designs in the 30s
Some were lightyears ahead in streamlining than any of crude aircraft designs produced then
Years before the dreaded runaway grocery cart in the parking lots
Its one of those things in life, y'know if you have to ask...
Am I the only one that finds this hilariously funny? Along the lines of truth being stranger than fiction....
in this new bizarro world reality that we're living in.
Just thinking ... if one likes that “new-car-smell” ...I wonder just what this car smells like when delivered? ;)
[There were some superb designs in the 30s]
I pinged you to post #23. Surely this is a ‘new’ car? I think the car shown is beautiful.

Yes -
It is what is called a Retro-Mod
A radically styled antique car restored and enhanced to the latest tech
Or a brand new car built with radical early style that is enhanced to the latest tech
OK, I'm not knowledgeable about cars like you. I know retro means nostalgic or old fashioned, but also means reviving the looks of the past.
