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

The British firm says that the vehicle exhibited in Beijing is a 'running prototype' and is very close to the final production model that will go sale this summer. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zywEgja6zk4/T5coZiQycqI/AAAAAAAHcN8/o22DmIQ1FaE/s1600/Eterniti-Artemis-17.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5735097069638677154" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zywEgja6zk4/T5coZiQycqI/AAAAAAAHcN8/o22DmIQ1FaE/s200/Eterniti-Artemis-17.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 116px; height: 80px;"></a>Compared to the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/09/iaa-2011-eterniti-hemera-brings-breath.html">Hemera concept displayed</a> at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show, the Artemis features a completely new front end with a very Jaguar-like grille and reshaped headlamps, while the SUV also sports different wheels and a decorative emblem on the sides. Eterniti makes a point to note that the body panels of the Artemis are made out of carbon composite materials and are hand-built. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/04/eterniti-super-suv-appears-as-artemis.html#more">Read more »</a>

The Italian automaker officially insists that there's no decision made yet to produce the Urus, but sources from within the company claim that if the top brass at the VW Group were to give the green light, a production model will be ready by 2016. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cQTyNLJ14VE/T5cUWExMLZI/AAAAAAAHcF4/qw13wBfqotk/s1600/Lamborghini-Urus-Concept-5.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5735075019949354386" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cQTyNLJ14VE/T5cUWExMLZI/AAAAAAAHcF4/qw13wBfqotk/s200/Lamborghini-Urus-Concept-5.JPG" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 107px; height: 72px;"></a>Lamborghini's CEO Stephan Winkelmann believes that the Urus could help the brand double its sales and provide a significant boost in profits in the same way that the Cayenne did for Porsche. The production version of the 5.0 meter long Urus would likely retain the exterior styling of the concept almost intact but feature a more comfortable and less exotic interior design. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/04/live-photos-and-video-of-lamborghini.html#more">Read more »</a>

However, instead of a hybrid driveline, the Heyue SC Coupe sports a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 163-horses and 217Nm (160 lb-ft) linked to a manual transmission that drives the rear wheels. JAC says the coupereach a top speed of 205km/h (127mph). <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/04/jac-unwraps-heyue-sc-rwd-coupe-and-rein.html#more">Read more »</a>
