The Italian design studio Aznom has presented a concept limousine with impressive dimensions and hybrid drive, which looks like a car for a villain from a James Bond movie.
The model, called L'Epoque, was developed in collaboration with Camal Studio and demonstrates a vision for the future of ultra-luxury automotive transport.
Aznom L'Epoque is inspired by the aesthetics of the 1930s and the Art Deco movement. The concept impresses with an exceptionally long front hood, a cabin drawn back, and a rear part with marine motifs. The front is dominated by a tall vertical grille, resembling an architectural element, and the LED headlights, integrated into the fender eyebrows, emit a warm "champagne" light.
With a length of nearly 8 meters, the L'Epoque is even longer than the Cadillac Escalade. The doors use a non-standard double mechanism, and part of the roof lifts to facilitate entry. When opened, the car projects an illuminated "carpet" onto the ground, complemented by massive 30-inch wheels.
The interior space is designed as a lounge, not as a traditional car interior. Instead of standard seats, there is a large rear sofa and two folding seats, forming a 2+2+2 configuration. Materials include hand-crafted wood, leather, and textiles, inspired by the interiors of historic palaces.
The technologies are discreetly integrated and controlled by an AI system with voice commands, which controls the microclimate, lighting, sound, and the overall atmosphere in the cabin.
Beneath the impressive exterior lies a serious engineering concept. L'Epoque uses a body-on-frame chassis, active suspension, and automatic leveling. The drive is of the "range extender" type - a V6 engine, which serves only as a generator, powering a 100 kWh battery. It provides energy to four electric motors - one for each wheel - with a total power of over 1000 hp.
For now, Aznom L'Epoque remains a conceptual project, but its creators do not exclude the possibility of making a single copy or an extremely limited series for collectors. Although the chance of reaching serial production is minimal, L'Epoque gives a curious glimpse into what ultra-luxury limousines of the future could look like.
