This is the world's most expensive SUV - but with three bottles of the world's most expensive vodka included in the price tag, it actually appears to be a bargain.

The £1million Dartz Prombron Monaco Red Diamond Edition has gold-plated windows, pure tungsten exhausts, and the speed gauges are encrusted in diamonds.

The seats are not for the squeamish. They are made of one of the softest materials around - leather from a whale's penis.

Quality journalism is the Daily Mail's forte.

It's obviously broken, the steering wheel's on the wrong side.

£1M and it's ugly as sin.

Seriously, it looks like it was inspired by Kryten's face.

design by US Army by any chance? as it's fugly!

Costs a million and they can't get round to making armoured glass which isn't flat slabs.

Disgraceful. The only vehicles I see on the road these days with flat windows are land rover defenders and their excuse is that's been their style for decades.

It looks crap, especially the interior.

Oil & Gas business is getting serious in Russia I see.

Wait, if a bottle of that vodka sold for £790,000, wouldn't it be worth it to buy the SUV and sell the vodka? You'd get more than your money back, and you'd get a fugly bombproof SUV that you could sell to some crazy celebrity.

I love the style of it, the materials are a bit guady though.

Hotwired · 21 Oct 2009 at 22:24

It's for people who deserve to be shot at and they know it. That's why they'll buy it.

I want some whale **** seats now but i'd rather drive an ice cream van than that monstrosity, it's ugly as sin, over complicated, automatic (hate autos), overly big, probably quite slow too as it's bound to weigh about as much as a bus. Interior has a kind of halfords look about it as well.
Infact, why not just buy a bus?

doodah · 21 Oct 2009 at 22:31

Must be slow as a muel.

Weighing four tons and powered by a V8 engine capable of 450 horse power

arknor · 21 Oct 2009 at 22:32

i'd rather buy a proper bullet proof armored car.

thats probably bullet proof to hand guns only.

Looks like someone went crazy abusing the bevel tool whilst prototyping tbh. :/

... and its pig ugly!

I read the 450bhp but i reckon it weighs a fair few ton, i'd take a guess at around 5 tonnes with all that heavy metal and glass.

haha I genuinely lol'd at that! So true and the interior is straight out of the early 90's
