The project is conceived not as a classic executive-class vehicle, but as a mobile space of elevated comfort, combining the functions of a luxury salon and an urban lounge.
Ideology and Place in Model Philosophy
The Italian company Aznom Automotive, in collaboration with Camal Studio, continues to develop its own understanding of automotive luxury. While the 2020 Palladium concept represented an ultra-luxury SUV with an emphasis on massiveness and status, L’Epoque shifts the focus toward elegant yet maximally scaled limousines.
With a length approaching 8 meters, the concept significantly exceeds typical European standards. For comparison, the extended Rolls-Royce Phantom measures about 6 meters. This size is chosen deliberately and underscores the pursuit of visual monumentality rather than practicality in dense urban environments.
Design as an Artistic Object
L’Epoque is conceived more as a design statement than a production vehicle. The exterior combines motifs from luxury cars of the 1930s with contemporary design techniques. Key elements include a large frontal grille, two-tone body painting, and LED lighting with a warm glow.
Special attention is drawn to the door architecture: the front panels slide horizontally, while the rear ones open against the direction of travel. Simultaneously, a portion of the roof lifts to facilitate passenger entry. From a top view, the rear section of the body is intentionally narrowed, enhancing the silhouette's dynamics.
Interior and Space Organization
The creators emphasize that the vehicle should not be merely a means of transportation. L’Epoque is positioned as a mobile salon with the atmosphere of a hotel apartment. The interior features light leather, green-toned textiles, and natural wood. Door panels are adorned with geometric reliefs referencing Art Deco.
The central table is mounted on a round base, visually connected to the dark floor decorated with golden lines. Digital solutions are minimized: the front area lacks a conventional multimedia system, with climate control relegated to a concise touch panel. The main screen is intended for rear passengers and is complemented by a large ring-shaped ceiling light fixture.
Powertrain
The technical concept of L’Epoque combines modern and classic approaches. Propulsion is provided by four electric motors with a total output of 735 kW. Energy is stored in a 100 kWh battery, and a six-cylinder engine serves as a generator to extend the range.
Summary
Aznom L’Epoque illustrates how luxury can appear beyond the conventional boundaries of serial automotive production. The concept prioritizes space, atmosphere, and individuality over utility, offering a new interpretation of executive transport in an urban context.
