    Eterniti Hemera

    Eterniti Hemera

    New British car company Eterniti Motors is today releasing full images of the prototype of its first model, which will be shown at next week’s Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA).

    The Hemera, the world’s first Super-SUV, will bring new levels of luxury and performance to the SUV segment when production starts in 2012. Hand-built in London, it will feature a limousine-like rear cabin, including twin electric reclining seats, iPads and a drinks chiller, giving customers the option of being chauffeured as well as driving.

    However, its relatively compact dimensions, 4x4 ruggedness and dynamic performance mean that it is more practical than a limousine and offers considerable driver appeal, with over 620bhp on tap and a top speed in excess of 180mph.

    The Eterniti stand at the IAA will be in Hall 6.1. There will be a press call at 14.15 on 13 September, when media can find out more, see the Hemera and meet engineering boss and multiple Le Mans winner Alastair Macqueen, together with brand ambassador and Formula Grand Prix winning driver Johnny Herbert.

    Hey, Johnny Herbert also won Le Mans once.

    Looks like a warped Cayenne?

    Could be worse, you could have your name attached to a silly Nissan SUV...

    It is based on the Cayenne/Touareg/Q7 platform, isn't it? The press release said that it "is based on the latest generation of the best large SUV platform available". I don't think they could make that claim for the majority of other brands' platforms.

    World's first "super-SUV"? What were the Cayenne Turbo, the X5 M/X6 M, and the LM002, but to mention a few, classified as then? I'm confused.

    This is nothing more than a tuned Cayenne Turbo...
