Dartz 'bunker on wheels' bound for China

Latvia-based bespoke car builder Dartz has come up with a seriously chunky, heavily armoured SUV designed to appeal to the super-rich in China.

The Prombron White Horse is a dazzling white-painted version of Dartz's Black Dragon, with model-specific gold highlights and the overall air of a bunker on wheels.

Dartz aims to sell just 12 units of the quirky monster, which has an extended wheelbase to provide more rear-seat legroom.

The cladding includes armour glass as thick as telephone books.

The windows can withstand a volley from a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

The Dartz SUVs take a design cue from military vehicles. According to the maker, in the case of the White Horse, the acronym SUV stands for safety utility vehicle.

The White Horse can be powered by a General Motors-sourced turbo-diesel V8 engine or a petrol-burning Vortec unit.

Dartz says it will officially unveil the White Horse at a major trade show soon and it will go on sale in China from the summer.
