London’s Eterniti Motors celebrated the opening of its new Park Royal showroom by débuting the production version of the Artemis Super-SUV.

Based on Porsche’s Cayenne Turbo model, the Artemis features a wide-body conversion using carbon composite panels to replace the factory items. The aggressive restyle includes a new front fascia with Jaguar-esque radiator grille, a ventilated hood, fenders, rear-quarter sections and bumper with colossal diffuser and twin tailpipes. A set of ultra-light 23-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in 315/25 tyres, complete the look.

Moving inside, the cabin has been treated to quilted leather upholstery, stretching to the floor, boot trim and reclining rear seats, which can also be heated or cooled. Other touches include natural wood and carbon fibre inlays, lambswool rugs, a starlight roof lining, iPad holders and the all-important drinks chiller with crystal glasses.

Beneath the hood, Eterniti’s performance upgrade sees output from the twin-turbocharged 4.8-litre, eight-cylinder engine rise from 368 kW (500 hp) and 700 Nm of torque to 447 kW (600 hp) and 750 Nm; enough for a 4.5 second sprint to 100 km/h and a top speed in excess of 290 km/h (180 mph).

Pricing starts at an eye-watering £210,000.
