London-based Eterniti Motors has found five eager buyers willing to pony up for the Artemis SUV, the firm?s ultra-luxurious take on the Porsche Cayenne that debuted during last month?s Beijing Auto Show. The price for the standard model is approximately $338,000 ? though Eterniti confirms one customer opted for an entirely customized (and much more expensive!) variant.
With the standard model, you get a 4-passenger sport-utility with hand-built carbon composite body panels, 23-in. alloy wheels, and cabin trimmed in a vast range of leathers, wood, carbon fiber and piano black trim. Eterniti has tuned the turbocharged 4.8-liter V-8 engine to produce more than 600 bhp and 553 lb.-ft. of torque. The Artemis can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and, apparently, reach a top speed of 180 mph.
Probably the best seat in the house is out back, thanks to twin reclining rear seats that include heating and cooling functions, an electronically-controlled iPad holder, and drink cooler. ?The Artemis was accepted as the most luxurious SUV yet available, and Asian customers were delighted with the twin rear pilot seats and legroom, which means that they can both be chauffeured and drive the car for fun,? said Eterniti Motors global sales director Marcus Kenny.
Some might argue the cabin is made all the better since it doesn?t offer a view of the truck?s ostentatious exterior. This is definitely a vehicle aimed at a very specific clientele. Appealing to the masses won?t be much of an issue, however, as Eterniti plans on selling only 30-40 Artemis SUVs this year. Deliveries are promised by this autumn.
