Infiniti at the Paris motor show 2008

By Ben Pulman Motor Shows 02 October 2008 09:35 Infiniti kicked off its Mondial de l'Automobile on the eve of the show by opening its Parisian dealership, the brand's first showroom in Western Europe.

Eterniti Hemera – it IS a Porsche Cayenne

Eterniti Hemera - it's a titivated Porsche Cayenne We did speculate from the start that the new car company that is Eterniti Motors is in fact a high-end customiser, and that its first ‘new’ car – the Eterniti Hemera – is just a customised Porsche Cayenne. And so it is. Eterniti has release the first photos of the Hemera ahead of its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and at first view it could just as easily be a new Cayenne from Gemballa or Merdad.
