If the most luxurious sedans on the current scene seem too subtle to you thanks to their clean lines and discreet technology, The guys at Aznom Automotive have the perfect solution thanks to this extraordinary prototype that takes excess to a higher level.. Developed in collaboration with the masters of Camal Studio, this majestic L’Epoque is a true rolling dream that revives the splendor of those luxurious cars of the ’20s and ’30s, but powered by modern electric technology and with proportions that defy any sense of moderation.
This Aznom L’Epoque is a true statement of unapologetic opulence with its nearly eight meters in length (exactly 7.92 meters), doubling the size of a utility vehicle such as a Fiat Grande Panda, but also exposing wonderful sedans such as the Rolls-Royce Ghost EWB or Mercedes-Maybach S 680 with its 5.72 and 5.47 meters long respectively. Hence, those exclusive 30-inch forged wheels on which it stands and which reinforce its presence, seem almost tiny.
The exterior design of this Aznom L’Epoque is a fascinating and provocative fusion in which this artisanal manufacturer combines forceful wheel arches, a long and flat hood, an imposing vertical grille and a rear with a boat-tail silhouette that evokes the classic grand tourers of yesteryear. The result seems like an impossible crossing of concepts with a digital Art Deco sensibility that does not go unnoticed at any time.
This Aznom L’Epoque has been created to enjoy from behind
The rear doors open with a theatrical double-movement mechanism that partially raises the roof, revealing a cabin that transcends the conventional idea that we all have in mind when talking about a limousine. There are no seats in the back, but a comfortable large sofa that presides over the space.complemented by folding chairs and a multifunction central cabinet that hides a minibar, cigar humidor or even a personalized watch case. The dividing screens remain hidden until they are claimed, because for Aznom, true luxury conveys serenity, not visible barriers.
The materials breathe Italian craftsmanship. They couldn’t miss noble woods, high quality leather and exquisite fabrics that dominate the atmosphere of this L’Epoque. Extreme soundproofing turns outside noise into a distant murmur, while an artificial intelligence assistant silently manages elements such as air conditioning, ambient lighting, aroma diffuser, sound system and even the adaptive suspension. Hence, passengers can relax, enjoy a cocktail or simply let themselves be carried away by the experience, without worrying about anything else.
High-voltage hybrid propulsion under the Art Deco body
Behind the aesthetic fantasy that this Aznom L’Epoque emanates lies a contemporary and powerful propulsion system. Composed of four electric motors—one per wheel— They deliver more than 1,000 HP of power, being powered by a battery with 100 kWh capacity which can be recharged at a charging point or through a V6 engine that works as a range extender, eliminating charging anxiety on long trips.
The chassis of this Aznom L’Epoque incorporates a sophisticated adaptive suspension that allows maintain perfect level even on uneven surfaces. Because in a limousine like this, a glass of Dom Perignon Rosé Gold spilled on an exclusive suit by tailor Michael Andrews would be practically unforgivable.
If a customer orders one of these L’Epoque, Aznom will make it for them
The masters at Aznom Automotive are not exactly strangers to the most extravagant four-wheeled projects. In their day they already transformed a Ram 1500 into the exclusive Palladium, a luxury off-road SUV-limousine, while they have recently converted Smart ForTwo into the most luxurious electric vehicles that can be driven at the age of 14. With that experience, They claim that L’Epoque could be built as an exclusive one-off if a client with vision (and budget) asked for it. For now, such an engineering marvel remains in the realm of digital concepts, but in the world of extreme customization, the craziest ideas sometimes end up rolling.
