The future began in 1963, and carries on into the new millennium.
Lamborghini has teamed up with Japanese futurist artist Ikeuchi to create another art car as part of its 60th-anniversary celebrations. The project is called "Chasing the Future" and encompasses a sculpture called "Time Gazer" and the one-of-a-kind Huracan STO Time Chaser_111100 art car.
Both pieces incorporate Ikeuchi's futuristic cyber-industrial style with an extra cool hook - both pieces use parts from previous Lamborghini anniversary models. It's a lovely touch to include parts from previous special editions, which include the Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary, Diablo SE30, Murcielago 40th Anniversary, and the Aventador LP-720-4 50th Anniversary.
The sculpture looks like a simulator cockpit, but we don't see it working in the photos. It's where we see Ikeuchi's cyberpunk style show through the most. The artist's style started in school, where he became fascinated by what he saw the most - a computer. The sculpture includes elements like broken motherboards, electrical wiring, and pieces of plastic.
"We are very pleased to enshrine such a valuable collaboration with IKEUCHI who represents the future of Japan," says Davide Sfrecola, Head of Japan Automobili Lamborghini, "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 describes the car as an Opera Unica - "A one-of-a-kind limited edition that brilliantly expresses IKEUCHI's theme of cybernetics and Lamborghini'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."
In the car, we see something more optimistic. The Lamborghini Huracán STO Time Chaser_111100 expresses through launch colors from previous anniversary models and additions that make the car look like its computer-based.
The front is largely unchanged, barring some graphics, the doors are grey, but the back gets weird. We're not sure where he pulled parts from, but it looks like everything from computer graphics cards and fans were boxed and perched on the back of the car. For non-nerds, 111100 is the binary representation of the number 60.
