ASMA Design Does its Aero Thing on the New Porsche Cayenne Turbo

It has been a while since we last heard from ASMA Design, a German tuning house known for its excessive styling creations such as the…unforgettable Phantasma CL Chrome and Shark II CLS.

For its latest tuning job, ASMA Design chose the second generation of the Porsche Cayenne in Turbo trim. Named "The Giant", the styling package turns Stuttgart's SUV into something that would fit right in a Fast & Furious movie.

The carbon-fiber wide-body aero kit includes a new front bumper assembly complete with LED daytime running lights, a matching hood, wheel arch extensions, new side skirts, a restyled rear bumper with something that looks like a diffuser and which houses two-centrally mounted tailpipes along with a tailgate and a roof spoiler.

The tune is complemented by a new set of massive 22-inch alloy wheels in a black finish. ASMA Design has left the Turbo model's mechanical hardware intact.

IAA 2011: Eterniti Hemera Brings a Breath of Fresh Air to the Porsche Cayenne

Making its world premiere in close-to-production form is the Eterniti Hemera, which the newly formed London-based company refers to as the "world's first Super-SUV".

A close look at the Hemera reveals that the vehicle is more or less a heavily modified (or tuned, take your pick) Porsche Cayenne SUV, which itself is based on the VW Touareg.

Eterniti claims that all body panels on the Hemera are new and made of carbon composite materials, while the company added that is also working on bespoke LED headlamps and lenses that will make it on the final production model.

Furthermore, Eterniti said that the interior, which is in the final stages of prototype testing and will be revealed later in the year, will be "almost 100% unique" to the SUV model.

Aside from the re-packaged interior, and the lightweight carbon-composite skin, the Hemera will also receive a modified 4.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing over 620bhp for a top speed in excess of 180mph or 290km/h.

The Hemera will be hand-assembled at a new factory in London. Production is set to start in early 2012, with first deliveries expected by the summer of the same year.

Eterniti said that while prices have yet to be confirmed, the Hemera will carry a base price tag of around £150,000, or approximately US$237,000 / €174,000 at the current exchange rates.
