The materials include veneer made from egg and nut shells, plastic replacement using corn and wood fibres, alongside alternative leather made from apple by-product.

New Delhi: Lunaz, a leader in the development of clean-air automotive technologies, has presented its latest upcycled Aston Martin DB6 – a vision of eco-conscious material usage never seen combined on a road car so far.

The interior incorporates an unprecedented wealth of sustainable materials, specially selected for their luxurious appearance and tactile qualities. The materials include veneer made from egg and nut shells, plastic replacement using corn and wood fibres, alongside alternative leather made from apple by-product.

While the concept is currently a design study, all the innovations are production-ready, and many have already been used on previous classic cars electrified and elevated by Lunaz. This landmark initiative brings them together in one place, highlighting the Lunaz brand’s leadership of sustainable luxury, the company said.

“Upcycling is a holistic, whole-vehicle process in which sustainability encompasses not only the clean-air powertrain but also the materials and finishes used in the interior. We’ve seen significant interest from our clients in maximising our use of sustainable alternatives to traditional leathers, veneers and fabrics. This upcycling project provides a wonderful showcase for emerging materials and innovative products, which are opening up new possibilities across the luxury world. As this magnificent [Aston Martin DB6 shows, we can create authentic, truly luxurious interiors worthy of the most famous marques using materials with the smallest possible environmental impact. These are very exciting times for us, our clients and our industry,” David Lorenz, founder, Lunaz, said.

Lunaz electric powertrain: Like all classic cars upcycled and elevated by Lunaz, the concept includes Lunaz’ proprietary modular electric powertrain, developed entirely in-house and comprised the highest standard European-sourced Tier 1 OEM battery cells and motors. All current Lunaz vehicles’ battery capacity ranges from 80-120 kWh with Combined Charging System (CCS) fast-charging capability, a 255-mile range and 375 bhp, the company said in a media release.
