- The Latvian firm has secured deals with dealerships on the East and West Coasts.
- Production will likely be handled by a complex in Florida.
- Dartz is accepting US orders for the Prombron Black Stallion Type C.
Dartz is one of the weirdest coachbuilders on the planet, and it seems the Latvian brand has its sights set on conquering perhaps the most important car market of them all: the United States. To help celebrate its impending local launch, Dartz has shipped over a Prombron Black Stallion Type C from Riga and driven it through the streets of Los Angeles – precisely the type of place you’d expect to see a Dartz.
The small firm is said to have inked deals with several dealerships on the East and West Coasts to sell the Black Stallion Type C. Initially, vehicles will be shipped from Latvia into the US, but the company is said to be putting plans in place to build them locally in Florida.

This will be an important step in opening up the brand to a new market. It could also help Dartz to avoid any pesky tariffs that Donald Trump could enact when he returns to the Oval Office.
In the meantime, order books for the Prombron Black Stallion Type C have been opened in the US. Local prices haven’t been publicized, but something in the region of $500,000 seems likely. That’s a lot of money, particularly when you consider the SUV isn’t built from the ground up and is either based on the chassis of a Hummer H2 or a Mercedes-Benz GLS, depending on what the customer prefers.
It’s not just the Black Stallion that is heading to the US. Dartz is now accepting pre-orders for the Prombron Iron Diamond CLV which is based on the Lamborghini Urus. This extreme off-roader has been in the works for quite some time and will retain the original 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 from the donor car. It could set customers back a staggering $2.7 million.
