This [armored SUV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lac-hong-900-lx) is built around a [Mercedes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-gclass-stronger-than-diamonds-edition) AMG GL platform. It pumps out 1,500 horsepower of output. From the outside, it looks sleek yet scaly, elegant yet incredibly badass. It is not to be messed with. Which is just as well, because it's targeted towards multi-millionaires who have enemies or want to look like they have enemies. The Black Shark has a menacing [Kevlar-titanium body](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hennessey-jeep-gladiator-warhawk), angular shell, intimidating front bumper and a rotating bulletproof grille. If you're dreaming of getting your hands on a Prombron Black Shark, you might want to act fast -- Dartz only plans to build ten models, with five special editions heading to China and the remaining five headed elsewhere. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Luxury Armored Suvs:** The luxury armored SUV trend is disrupting the automotive industry by offering high-end security features and powerful performance. - **Exclusivity in Armored Vehicles:** The rise of limited edition armored vehicles is creating opportunities for luxury brands to cater to the ultra-wealthy market seeking unique and customized options. - **Advanced Armoring Technology:** The development of advanced materials and techniques in armoring technology is revolutionizing the security and defense industry, providing enhanced protection without compromising style and aesthetics. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can capitalize on the luxury armored SUV trend by integrating advanced security features into high-end vehicles, offering customers a premium level of protection. - **Luxury Brands:** Luxury brands can seize the opportunity in the exclusive armored vehicles market by creating limited edition models with bespoke customization options, catering to the discerning tastes of affluent clientele. - **Security and Defense:** The security and defense industry can benefit from the advancements in armoring technology by developing cutting-edge solutions that provide unparalleled protection for high-risk individuals and organizations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Powerful Luxury SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dbx707.md) - [Masterfully Modified SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modified-suv.md) - [Opulent Extreme Environment SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brabus-xl-800-cabrio-gwagen.md) - [Fully-Armored Electric Vehicle Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/us-armor-group-armored-lucid-air-sapphire.md) - [Armored Tactical SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-rezvani.md) - [Upgraded Armored Defender Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/octa-edition-one.md) - [Aggressive Safety-Focused SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rezvani-vengeance.md) - [Ultra-Tactical Next-Gen SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-rezvani-tank.md) - [Dazzling Rose-Hued SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-gclass-stronger-than-diamonds-edition.md)
