Eterniti Records First Sales of its Super SUV at the Beijing Auto Show

The world premiere of the almost production ready Eterniti Artemis SUV at the Auto China 2012 in Beijing earlier this month ended on a positive note as the company recorded its first sales at the event.

The British start-up accepted five orders for the Porsche Cayenne-based model, including four for standard-specification cars, which are priced at £210,000 (US$338,400 or €261,400) plus taxes a piece, and one for a fully customized version, the final price of which will be determined by the customer's specification requirements.

Eterniti's 'Super SUV' Appears as the Artemis at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show

Trading one Greek mythology name for another, London-based boutique luxury carmaker Eterniti has renamed the Hemera to Artemis, but that's not the only change for the coachbuilt Porsche Cayenne, which was presented at the Auto China 2012 in Beijing.
