We were born to challenge the future and ever since then we have been chasing our dream of shaping it. In 2023, we celebrate 60 years of our history, and we honour our challenge by partnering with internationally renowned artists: the perfect opportunity to express our core values to the fullest.

“Chasing the Future” is the avant-garde collaboration between Lamborghini and internationally acclaimed Japanese artist IKEUCHI, whose cyberpunk and robot anime influences inspire him to create works that combine ready-made plastic models with industrial parts.

IKEUCHI explored the themes of time and timelessness through two unique creations. ‘Time Gazer’ is a large-scale piece composed of original Lamborghini parts, representing the artist’s vision of the past, present, and future. ‘Huracán STO Time Chaser_111100’ is a limited-edition celebrating Lamborghini’s innovative spirit, with the brand’s heritage expressed through details such as the launch colours of previous anniversary models and the use of 111100, the binary code for the number 60. For ‘Time Chaser’, IKEUCHI repurposed original parts from iconic anniversary models such as the Countach 25th Anniversary, Diablo SE30, Murciélago 40th Anniversary, and Aventador LP-720-4 50th Anniversary. 

“I am honoured to collaborate with a brand like Automobili Lamborghini, especially on its 60th anniversary,” said IKEUCHI. “It’s a brand that’s constantly striving to shape the future and challenge the status quo as I do with my art. ‘Time Gazer’ and ‘Time Chaser’ are a celebration of Lamborghini’s history. I hope that Lamborghini owners and many others will enjoy this collaboration as a piece of art that commemorates the next chapter for the ever-evolving brand.” 

Stephan Winkelmann, Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and CEO, remarked, “We are very proud to present this piece of art with IKEUCHI in this memorable 60th anniversary year. ‘Lamborghini Huracán STO Time Chaser_111100’ blends tradition and innovation, the past and the future, while perfectly embodying Lamborghini’s values. On the milestone of our 60th year, Lamborghini promises to continue to grow as a bold and unconventional brand, never ceasing to challenge itself.”
