Lamborghini is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year and one of the special projects is the collaboration with Japanese contemporary artist IKEUCHI. The resulting art pieces are the “Time Gazer” exhibit made using parts from anniversary models, and the “Huracan STO Time Chaser_111100” which is a Cyberpunk-inspired one-off.
IKEUCHI, who emerged on the art scene in the early 2010s, is known for his robot-style products created using various industrial product parts. In this context, the “Chasing the Future” project combines his style with Lamborghini supercars.

The Lamborghini Huracán STO Time Chaser_111100 is based on a regular STO, but features a special livery and a PC-style add-on on the rear deck creating a sci-fi look. Bear in mind that the model is not intended to be driven, but it is a unique exhibit – Opera Unica – created to explore the theme of cybernetics. If you are wondering, the 111100 in its name is the binary code for the number 60, another reference to the age of the Italian brand.
The Time Gazer
The other piece is the “Time Gazer” built using original Lamborghini parts. The large-scale exhibit looks like a high-end gaming rig complete with a chair, keyboards, screens, oversized fans, and computer hardware mixed with car parts. According to the company, previous anniversary specials that donated parts for the art pieces include the Countach 25th Anniversary, the Diablo SE30, the Murcielago 40th Anniversary, and the more recent Aventador 50th Anniversary.
Speaking about IKEUCHI’s work, Davide Sfrecola, Head of Japan Automobili Lamborghini said: “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”.
Lamborghini will collaborate with more internationally renowned artists for its 60th anniversary. The art pieces will be exhibited at a Lamborghini dealership in the artist’s country of origin. The same applies to IKEUCHI’s work which will be presented in Tokyo, Japan.
