Since emerging on the art scene as an artist in the early 2010s, IKEUCHI's unparalleled talent has quickly captured the world's attention and led to collaborations with world-renowned brands and influential artists. And in his collaborative work with Lamborghini, IKEUCHI seems inspired by cyberpunk and robot realms, where he combines plastic models with industrial product components to create visions of the future complete with conventional functions.
The Lamborghini Huracán STO Time Chaser_111100 was built by combining original parts from Lamborghini’s previous anniversary editions including the Countach 25th Anniversary, the Diablo SE30, Murciélago 40th and Aventador LP 720-4 50th. (Picture from: TopGear)
IKEUCHI further said that the Time Gazer and Time Chaser were made by combining original parts taken from the past anniversary Lamborghini models such as the Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary, Lamborghini Diablo
SE30, Lamborghini Murcielago 40th Anniversary, and Lamborghini Aventador
LP-720-4 50th Anniversary.

By combining these parts and other elements, IKEUCHI interprets the Huracán STO in his signature futuristic cyber-industrial style. And all of these were meant to be a celebration of marque's history from the past with the aim of living longer in the future as well, and hopes to Lamborghini as the owners and many others would enjoyed this collaboration result as an artwork to commemorate the next chapter of such this ever-evolving brand.
If IKEUCHI leaving the STO drivetrain untouched, that means a lightweight body (1,339 kg, about 43 kg less than the regular Huracán) packing a 5.2-liter V10 of 631 bhp/416 lb.ft and plenty of downforce. (Picture from: TopGear)
It seems that these projects maximally explore the common themes shared by Lamborghini and IKEUCHI, namely the concepts of "time" and "eternity": as we can see on the Time Gazer that is made using genuine Lamborghini parts and is a large-scale artwork which is meant to encapsulate IKEUCHI's vision of the past, present and future through the lens of Lamborghini's evolution.

Despite this, Lamborghini's influence legacy on this limited edition work is marked by clear references to the launch colors of the previous anniversary models and by using the binary code of 111100 for the number 60 as the naming itself imprinted on the car's door bones.
