Mathieu Lehanneur, a French designer, transformed the iconic 1960s car into a [luxury travel vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lepas-l8s-exquisite-space). It includes a lounge space in the car's back seats. Renault tasked the French designer to devise a concept car that showcased his vision for the 4L. Lehanneur came up with a panoramic resting space. The revamped car replaced the rear paneling with [panoramic windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacecamper-multivan-classic) that cover the vehicle's sides and roof. While the windows look like architectural glass, they are, in fact, made of transparent polycarbonate. The goal was to create a room in the boot that offers the lounger an endless array of views as they travel.
