Lamborghini Huracán STO Time Chaser

Lamborghini Huracán STO Time Chaser_111100 A collaboration with the innovative contemporary artist IKEUCHI to commemorate Lamborghini’s 60th anniversary Automobili Lamborghini celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2023. To commemorate this anniversary year, Lamborghini and Japan’s most innovative contemporary artist IKEUCHI have come together in an avant- garde collaboration. Since emerging on the art scene in the early 2010s, IKEUCHI’s unparalleled talent quickly attracted worldwide attention and led to collaborations with globally-renowned brands and influential artists. Influenced by cyberpunk and robot anime, he combines plastic models with industrial product parts to create a vision of the future complete with conventional functionality. Inspired by the 60th anniversary motto “The future began in 1963”, this joint project was named “Chasing the Future” and it encompasses the “Time Gazer” and the “Huracan STO Time Chaser_111100”. These projects maximally explore the common themes shared by Lamborghini and IKEUCHI, namely the concepts of “time” and “timelessness”. Built using original Lamborghini parts, the Time Gazer is a large scale art piece meant to encapsulate IKEUCHI’s vision of past, present and future through the lens of Lamborghini’s evolution. The Lamborghini Huracan STO Time Chaser_111100 is an “Opera Unica”, a one-of-a-kind limited edition, that brilliantly expresses IKEUCHI’s theme of cybernetics and Lamborghini’s historic 60 years, while representing their shared values of always being at the forefront of the times and breaking the rules of the past through creative expression. Since its establishment in 1963, Lamborghini has always been up for a challenge, introducing countless models that have left their mark on the history of the company throughout its 60 years. Taking inspiration from the rich legacy of Lamborghini, for these creations IKEUCHI utilized original parts from previous anniversary models such as Lamborghini Countach 25th ANNIVERSARY, Lamborghini Diablo SE30, Lamborghini Murciélago 40th Anniversary, and Lamborghini Aventador LP-720-4 50th Anniversary. Combining these parts and other elements, IKEUCHI interpreted the Huracan STO in his signature futuristic cyber-industrial style. The influence of Lamborghini’s heritage on this Opera Unica is remarked by the clear references to the launch colors of the previous anniversary models across the whole vehicle and also by using 111100, the binary code for the number 60, in the naming itself. Stephan Winkelmann, Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and CEO, said “We are very happy to be able to present this piece with IKEUCHI in this memorable 60th anniversary year. Lamborghini Huracan STO Time Chaser_111100 truly blends history and the future, perfectly matching 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.” Davide Sfrecola, Head of Japan, Automobili Lamborghini, added “We are very honored to create such a wonderful model with an artist who represents the future of Japan. Japan is a very unique area with many longtime Lamborghini fans, and an original culture that has developed over the years that includes the likes of manga and anime. It is a great pleasure to collaborate with IKEUCHI in Japan, a country with such a unique character, as it adds color to the culture Lamborghini has created.” IKEUCHI, who created the collaborative model, said “I am very honored to collaborate with Lamborghini for its 60th Anniversary as 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. I hope that Lamborghini owners and many others enjoy this collaboration as a piece that commemorates the next chapter of the ever-evolving brand.”

Lamborghini Huracán STO Time Chaser

Lamborghini Huracán STO Time Chaser ランボルギーニ創立60年を記念し、 革新的な現代美術家であるIKEUCHI氏とのコラボレーションが実現 アウトモビリ・ランボルギーニは今年2023年に創立60年を迎えました。この記念すべきアニバーサリーイヤーに、日本で最も革新的な現代美術家であるIKEUCHI氏とLamborghini Huracán STOによる前衛的なコラボレーションが実現しました。世界に1台しかないこの作品は、「Lamborghini Huracan STO Time Chaser」と名付け、 IKEUCHI 氏のテーマであるサイバネティックとランボルギーニの歴史ある60年を見事に表現しています。 IKEUCHI氏は2010年代初頭のアートシーンに登場して以来、その類まれな才能で瞬く間に世界中から注目され、Balenciaga、Gentle Monsterといった世界を代表するブランドとのコラボレーションを実現してきました。Arca、KOHHといった影響力のあるミュージシャンたちとのプロジェクトも数々発表し、2022年にはCardi Bのミュージックビデオ内でKanyeWestがIKEUCHI氏の作品を着用しています。最近では、MedicomToy社とのベアブリックコラボレーションで、アーティストエディションのデザインを制作しています。 Huracán STOは、Huracánシリーズにおいて最上位モデルとなり、Lamborghiniが数々の歴史的な勝利により築き上げ、長きにわたって培ってきたモータースポーツのノウハウが、このHuracán STOの中に凝縮されています。本物のレーシングマシンが持つテクノロジーと、スリリングな感覚を兼ね備えた公道を走れる最高のレーシングモデルとなっております。ボディパネルの75%以上にカーボンファイバーを採用し、フロントボンネットとフェンダーを組み込んだ専用設計のボディピース「Cofango(コファンゴ)」でフロントの空力性能を最大まで高め、軽量化を実現するなど革新的な技術も採用されております。このたびのコラボレーションにふさわしい1台と言えるでしょう。 今回の作品である「Lamborghini Huracan STO Time Chaser」は、「時」と「タイムレス」の概念を追求し、常に時代の最先端を歩み、そして創造的表現で過去の常識を破るというランボルギーニとIKEUCHI氏に共通するテーマを最大限に探求したプロジェクトです。ランボルギーニは1963年に誕生してから60年、常に挑戦者であり続け、その歴史に名を残す数々のモデルを発表してきました。IKEUCHI氏の作品は、1966年のMiuraや、1971年のCountachを彷彿とさせ、テクノロジー、デザイン、機能の融合は、前衛的なバランスを実現させ、見るものに畏敬の念を抱かせます。サイバーパンクやロボットアニメの影響を受け、プラモデルと工業製品のパーツを組み合わせることで、従来の機能性に併せて未来のビジョンを創造しています。IKEUCHI氏の人気は、1963年に発表されたLamborghini 350 GTVが約束した「テクノロジーに宿る芸術的な可能性に社会の意識はいつか高まる」というビジョンをまさに体現しています。 このたび、アウトモビリ・ランボルギーニは、Lamborghini Countach 25th ANNIVERSARY、Lamborghini Diablo SE30、Lamborghini Murciélago 40th Anniversary、Lamborghini Aventador LP-720-4 50th Anniversaryなどのアニバーサリーモデルのオリジナルパーツを提供しました。これらのパーツとその他の要素を組み合わせ、IKEUCHI氏が得意とするサイバーインダストリアルスタイルで、エンジンフードを誕生させました。その作品名は「TIME CHASER_111100」。「60」のバイナリコードである「111100」を使用しています。TIME CHASER_111100は「Lamborghini Huracan STO Time Chaser」専用のエンジンフードとして取り付けが可能です。 アウトモビリ・ランボルギーニ Head of Japan の Davide Sfrecola(ダビデ・スフレコラ)は次のように述べています。「60周年という記念すべき年に、このような作品をIKEUCHI氏ともに発表させていただいたことを大変嬉しく思います。Lamborghini Huracan STO Time Chaserは歴史と未来がまさに融合された素晴らしい作品です。60年という節目を迎えるにあたり、ランボルギーニはこれからも挑戦し続ける姿勢を絶やさずに、大胆でかつ型破りなブランドとして、成長し続けていくことをお約束します。」 Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. Region Director Asia PacificであるFrancesco Scardaoni(フランチェスコ・スカルダオーニ)は次のように付け加えています。「このような素晴らしい作品を日本の未来を背負うアーティストと一緒に作り上げることができ大変光栄です。日本はアジアパシフィック地域の中でもランボルギーニの長年のファンが多く、また昔から漫画やアニメなど独自のカルチャーが発展している非常にユニークな地域です。このような特徴を持つ日本でIKEUCHI氏とコラボレーションできたことは、ランボルギーニが作り上げてきたカルチャーをより一層彩り、とても喜ばしいことです」。 また、作品を手掛けた IKEUCHI 氏は次のように述べています。「世界中で愛され、常に進化を遂げ、数々の素晴らしいモデルを生み出し続けているランボルギーニと、60周年という節目の年にこのようなコラボレーションを実現することができ大変光栄です。その歴史を彩ってきた歴代アニバーサリーモデルのオリジナルパーツを取り込んで制作した今回の作品は、ランボルギーニの歴史を讃えるものでもあります。進化を続けるランボルギーニの門出として、オーナー様はもちろんのこと、多くの方にこの作品を楽しんでいただければと思っています。」
