After all the hype about a “new luxury car brand” that will hand-build “the world’s first Super-SUV”, the self-proclaimed “independent, boutique British luxury carmaker, uniquely based in London”, which we will come to know as Eterniti Motors, has lifted the covers off something that looks like/is a heavily tuned second-generation Porsche Cayenne ahead of its Frankfurt show debut.
While the British company does not specifically refer to the Porsche model, it has previously stated that the Hemera “is based on the latest generation of the best large SUV platform available, which will undergo a chassis-up rebuild, with a new, repackaged interior, carbon-composite body panels and additional performance”.
The first official pictures leave few doubts that the the Porsche Cayenne is the donor vehicle.
According to the company, the Hemera will sport a limousine-like rear cabin, with twin electric reclining seats, iPads and a drinks chiller, while the SUV will be motivated by a 620bhp engine offering a top speed in excess of 180mph or 289km/h.
In other words, unless Eterniti is hiding a surprise or two under its sleeves, the Hemera is more or less in the same league (in philosophy, not in the details) with other extreme Cayenne tuning jobs such the Gemballa Tornado and the Medrad Cayenne 902 Coupe.
