“We are very proud to present this piece of art together with Ikeuchi in this memorable 60th anniversary year. Lamborghini Huracán STO Time Chaser_111100 truly blends tradition and innovation, the past and the future while perfectly embodying Lamborghini’s values. On this milestone of our 60th year, Lamborghini promises to continue to grow as a bold and unconventional brand, never ceasing to challenge itself,” said Automobili Lamborghini Chief Executive Officer Stephan Winkelmann.
Time Chaser is a one-of-a-kind limited edition Lamborghini Huracán STO that expresses the artist’s theme of cybernetics and the carmaker’s historic 60 years encompassing the shared values of always being at the forefront of the times and breaking the rules of the past through creative and authentic expression.
Time Chaser borrows original parts from previous anniversary models like the Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary, Lamborghini Diablo SE30, Lamborghini Murciélago 40th Anniversary, and Lamborghini Aventador LP-720-4 50th Anniversary.
Meanwhile, the automotive manufacturer also unveiled "Time Gazer," which represents a large-scale art piece meant to encapsulate Ikeuchi’s vision of past, present, and future through the lens of Lamborghini’s evolution.
Built using original Lamborghini parts, Time Gazer looks like a simulation race rig. Eagle-eyed fans of the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based car brand will be able to spot automotive components such as the seat, a wheel, an engine cover, and a roof.
“I am very honored to collaborate with a brand like Automobili Lamborghini, especially for its 60th Anniversary. It’s a brand that is constantly striving to shape the future and challenging the status quo as I do with my art. The Time Gazer and the Time Chaser were created by incorporating original parts from past anniversary models and are meant to be a celebration of Lamborghini’s history from the very past with the aim of living longer also in the future. I hope that Lamborghini owners and many others could enjoy this collaboration as a piece of art that commemorates the next chapter of the ever-evolving brand,” Ikeuchi commented.
Both the Lamborghini Huracán STO Time Chaser and the Time Gazer will be presented in Tokyo. Although no date was mentioned, it is possible that the reveal could happen anytime this month as the House of the Raging Bull previously stated that it will stage Lamborghini Day Japan in Suzuka tomorrow.
“We are very pleased to enshrine such a valuable collaboration with Ikeuchi who represents the future of Japan. From broken motherboards, plastic to electrical wiring intricately molded together to establish a cyberpunk apocalyptic aesthetic, he amplifies and investigates the connection and relationship between humans and technology in a country so rich in millennia-old traditions and contemporary culture. There is a great passion for art in all its forms that inevitably merges even into aspects of the everyday life. To a brand that has enriched a country of colors, this collaboration will contribute to add extra shades of recognizability to Japan and Automobili Lamborghini,” stated Automobili Lamborghini Japan Head Davide Sfrecola.
