The world isn't lacking for niche British automakers, but Eterniti Motors thinks we can do with one more. The upstart released little more than a teaser video and a single sketch of its first offering, and now it's come back with a little something else before next week's show in Germany.
Called the Hemera, it's not a painful posterior condition, but what Eterniti calls a "Super-SUV". Several automakers (such as Bentley, Lamborghini and Spyker) have sought to pioneer such a segment, but if Eterniti can actually make it to market, it will be (as claimed in the press copy after the jump) the first of its kind.
Little in the way of details have been disclosed, but the Hemera is slated to offer a "limousine-like rear cabin" with reclining seats, iPads and a drinks cooler and rumors suggest it's based partially on the Porsche Cayenne. Development is being lead by Alastair MacQueen, the chap who engineered the XJ220 at Jaguar (as well as its and Bentley's victorious Le Mans campaigns) with test driving duties undertaken by former F1 driver Johnny Herbert.
We'll have to wait another week or so until the Hemera is unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but with this level of talent on board, Eterniti may stand a real chance at producing an impressive product.
