Naming a car a "Lemon" may not be such a bad thing in Russia, but in English-speaking countries, the term is commonly used to describe a new vehicle that is found to be defective…
Nevertheless, that's the name Russian tuning firm TopCar chose for its latest project based on the new Porsche Cayenne SUV.

See what happens next in the video after the jump.

Trading one Greek mythology name for another, London-based boutique luxury carmaker Eterniti has renamed the Hemera to Artemis, but that's not the only change for the coachbuilt Porsche Cayenne, which was presented at the Auto China 2012 in Beijing.
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.
Compared to the Hemera concept displayed 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.

We've unearthed a new set of pictures (including the first of the interior) together with an official video of Porsche's latest creation, the 2013 Cayenne GTS, which will receive its public premiere at the Beijing International Automotive Show, also known as Auto China, in the last week of April.
You can read the full details in our previous post, but to put in a nutshell, the GTS is a sportier edition of the Cayenne S boasting an additional 20hp for a total of 414hp (420PS), a modified chassis with a 24mm lower ride height and a cosmetic package for both the exterior and interior.

If you don't want the Turbo version of the new Cayenne but still need more power and sportier characteristics than the Cayenne S, Porsche today announced that it will debut the new Cayenne GTS at the Auto China 2012 motor show in Beijing later this month.
Following a similar recipe to its predecessor as well as the Panamera GTS that was revealed at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show, the new edition of Porsche's premium crossover offers a more powerful engine and a tauter chassis with a lower ride height.
The Cayenne GTS is motivated by an uprated version of the Cayenne S' 4.8-liter naturally aspirated V8 delivering an extra 20hp for a total output of 414hp (420PS). An eight-speed Tip-tronic S automatic transmission with an integrated auto start/stop function and a lower final drive transfers power to all four wheels.
While already available in Europe, Porsche is getting ready to launch a diesel-powered version of the Cayenne SUV for the first time in the States.
The Cayenne Diesel will make its North American premiere at this week's New York International Auto Show before it go on sale in the U.S. this September at a base MSRP price of $55,750, not including a $975 destination charge (*).

This is Hawtai's updated B35 SUV, which will be displayed at the upcoming Auto China Show in Beijing later this month, albeit not as a world premiere as the Chinese company first revealed the car at the Guangzhou Auto Show last November.
Our more loyal readers will remember seeing the Chinese automaker's attempt to clone the Porsche Cayenne for the first time at the 2010 edition of the Beijing show.
The facelifts brings some minor cosmetic touches, the most prominent of which is the replacement of the Bentley-inspired front grille of the original model […] with something that heavily resembles the grille found on the latest Jaguar XJ saloon.
The 4,618mm long, 1,858mm wide and 1,753mm tall SUV rides on a 2,620mm wheelbase and is offered in China with a choice of two powerplants, a 1.8-liter turbocharged four producing 158hp (160PS) and a 2.0-liter turbo diesel rated at 148hp (150PS).
In the British tuner Project Kahn's own words, "toning down the look of the Porsche Cayenne in favour of a sleeker vehicle" equals a wide bodykit and an assortment of spoilers wrenched together with over-the-top 22-inch wheels, but who are we to disagree…
In detail, Kahn's exterior package include wheel arch extensions on all four corners to make space for the 22-inch RS600 rims, integrated LED daylight running lights on the front wheel arch vents, a lower boot lid spoiler, red brake calipers, full color coded bumpers with matt pearl grey inserts, carbon fiber detailing up front, and undercar white LED illumination.
