Keep up with the trends
The Aston Martin DB6 enjoys a timeless beauty, so in that area it is better to just leave it alone. However, there are also things that could be a bit more modern, Lunaz believes. This brown DB6 has recently become very ‘green’.
You can modernize a classic as much as you want, but you simply won’t tinker with the appearance of some models. Lunaz Design also understands this, because it generally focuses mainly on internal modernization of iconic vintage cars. We know the British company from various EV conversions; For example, it has already equipped the Bentley Continental S2, Rolls-Royce Phantom V and the Aston Martin DB6 with an electric drivetrain. The latter is now central again, but for a slightly different reason.
The DB6 you see here is primarily a showcase of what Lunaz can do in terms of sustainable materials. For example, the dashboard and gear lever are made of a biodegradable composite, which is made from egg and nut shells, among other things. The door trim consists partly of a fabric that uses corn and wood pulp. Furthermore, almost everything in this DB6 that looks like leather is essentially made from apple pulp, a byproduct of the beverage industry. In addition to this alternative ‘leather’, the chairs are also covered with fabric, which largely consists of recycled cotton. Finally, the floor mats are largely made from recycled fishing nets and PET bottles.
Special materials, but still a classic look
Completely ‘sustainable’, this DB6, although it has of course proven to be quite durable due to its age. Lunaz also reveals more about the electric drivetrain than before: it has 375 electric horsepower and an 80 or 120 kWh battery pack. Which of the two is not clear, they both seem to fit. The largest battery pack provides a 400 km driving range, says Lunaz, and recharging can be done with a CCS fast charger. You can pay a lot of money for such an Aston Martin, which has been reworked by Lunaz Design: the basic price is around 900,000 euros and then you have one with more conventional materials.
