A collaboration with the Japanese artist IKEUCHI to commemorate Lamborghini’s 60th anniversary Sant’Agata Bolognese, Tokyo 21 February 2023 - Automobili Lamborghini celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2023 and to commemorate this significant year, Lamborghini and Japan’s most disruptive contemporary artist IKEUCHI have come together in an avant-garde artistic collaboration. 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 “Huracán STO[1] Time Chaser_111100”. Automobili Lamborghini, together with its strong network of 180 dealers in 53 different countries, have decided to organize a cross-sectional projects for which different markets will cooperate with internationally renowned artists to celebrate its 60th anniversary. The company has created the artistic platform to explore, in all forms, Lamborghini’s core values that have always distinguished it in the past, present and as a future reference also. This first Japanese collaboration will be presented In Tokyo together with IKEUCHI. Stephan Winkelmann, Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and CEO said “We are very proud to present this piece of art together with IKEUCHI in this memorable 60th anniversary year. Lamborghini Huracán STO Time Chaser_111100 truly blends tradition and innovation, the past and the future while perfectly embodying 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.” 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. Inspired by cyberpunk and robot anime, he combines plastic models with industrial product parts to create a vision of the future complete with conventional functionality. IKEUCHI, who created the collaborative model, said “I am very honored to collaborate with a brand like Automobili Lamborghini especially for its 60th Anniversary. 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 from the very past with the aim of living longer also in the future. I hope that Lamborghini owners and many others could enjoy this collaboration as a piece of art that commemorates the next chapter of the ever-evolving brand.”. These projects maximally explore the common themes shared by Lamborghini and IKEUCHI, namely the concepts of “time” and “timelessness”: the Time Gazer has been built using original Lamborghini parts and it represents 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 Huracán STO Time Chaser_111100 on the other hand, 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 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. 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 and by using 111100, the binary code for the number 60, in the naming itself. 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. Davide Sfrecola, Head of Japan Automobili Lamborghini, added “We are very pleased to enshrine such a valuable collaboration with IKEUCHI who represents the future of Japan. 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. There is a great passion for art in all its forms that inevitably merges even into aspects of the everyday life. To a brand that has enriched a country of colors, this collaboration will contribute to add extra shades of recognizability to Japan and Automobili Lamborghini.” About the artist IKEUCHI Born 1990 in Tokyo. Graduated from Department of Information Design at Tama Art University. He spent much of his school years working on plastic models. As his graduation piece, he combined plastic models to create a hybrid diorama inspired by the notion that the interior of a computer, the most familiar object to him, looked like a secret base. After winning the Excellence Award in the Entertainment Division at the 17th Japan Media Arts Festival, he was invited to partake in Ars Electronica, the top global media art event, and was also chosen to create the campaign visual for renown fashion brand. His work has garnered high praise both in and out of the country.

There is no need for an introduction, but this video is just plain cool. Enjoy! Automobili Lamborghini marks its 60th anniversary in 2023 with a full schedule of events Sant’Agata Bolognese, February 15, 2023 – Sixty years ago, in an area that at the time was open countryside, construction of the Automobili Lamborghini factory began. The company was established on May 6, 1963, realizing Ferruccio Lamborghini’s dream of becoming a manufacturer of sports cars, an industry back then dominated by just a few brands. Right from the start, the founder and his very young engineers showed a passion for innovation and a desire to disrupt the dogmas of the sports car world, which were truly groundbreaking and led to a radical revolution. These values, which still form the cornerstone of the company today, would lead to the birth of legendary cars such as the Miura, a car which coined the term “supercar” and that has since inspired the entire automotive industry with its spirit and its styling. Over the years, Automobili Lamborghini has continued to evolve, creating icons of unique style, technology and performance, inspiring entire generations and millions of people by sharing its DNA and the values on which it was founded. On the occasion of its 60th anniversary, Automobili Lamborghini is organizing a series of events worldwide, each unique but all engaging customers and their Lamborghinis; the official Lamborghini Clubs; and the dealerships and fans around the world. The 60th anniversary celebrations began on January 19 with the opening of the remodeled Lamborghini Museum in Sant’Agata Bolognese, located in the original factory areas. The museum was renovated and rearranged specially for the celebrations with an exhibition entitled The Future Began In 1963. The Lamborghini Day Japan – 60th anniversary, to be held on February 23 in Suzuka -Japan, is the first international event to kick off the celebrations. Hundreds of enthusiasts and collectors will gather in one of the most significant markets for the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based company. In the United Kingdom, Silverstone Circuit will be the venue for Lamborghini Day UK on April 29 to celebrate the company’s 60th anniversary, with over 300 Lamborghini owners expected to attend. The next important event will be the 60° Anniversario Giro tour in Italy that will end on May 28 in the main square of Bologna with the Concorso in Piazza: a concours d’elegance and festive party open to the public, at which hundreds of Lamborghinis, collectors and fans from all over the world will gather to celebrate the illustrious history of the brand. In the United States, the most important market for Automobili Lamborghini, the “60th Anniversary Giro” is scheduled this summer. Come September, 60th Anniversary celebration continues in Automobili Lamborghini’s second largest single market in Chinese Mainland where Lamborghini customers will participate in its signature “Giro China” for the ninth consecutive year. Over 100 Lamborghini owners and enthusiasts will gather to round up the celebration with the “60th Anniversary Gala Dinner”. As well in September, Lamborghini Polo Storico, the division responsible for the protection, preservation, and restoration of the brand’s motoring heritage, plans to organize the “60th Anniversary Polo Storico Tour” reserved for Lamborghini classic cars in Italy. In October, the Vallelunga circuit in Rome will host the very first Lamborghini Festival. In this grand event, organized for the first time and open to all fans, the House of Sant’Agata Bolognese will celebrate the brand and its track-oriented cars. Then in November, the Grand Finals of the Super Trofeo Lamborghini, the one-make championship reserved for the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 racecars, gathering cars from three continents, will be held at the Vallelunga circuit in Rome. The official Lamborghini Clubs around the world, now present in 24 countries with more than 1600 members, are also planning anniversary tours and events in their respective countries, as well as a number of tours in Italy with their final destination the Lamborghini headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese.

White on white: Huracán Sterrato on the snow in Rally mode Sant’Agata Bolognese/Livigno, Italy 20 February 2023 – The Huracán Sterrato[1] arrived in an exclusive ski resort in the Italian Alps, proving its prowess on snow and ice. Switching from road-driving modes to its special ‘rally’ option, the set-up of the permanent four-wheel drive Huracán Sterrato conquered the low-grip surfaces of the winter destination with a dynamic flourish. The revised LDVI system (Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics) of the Huracán Sterrato delivers specifically-calibrated STRADA and SPORT drive settings for road, with the new RALLY mode optimized for dirt and loose surfaces including snow: another facet of the super sports car’s fun-to-drive personality. Its wider tracks and increased ride height made short shrift of the snowy setting, and the Sterrato’s Bridgestone Dueler AT002 run-flat tyres, specially-adapted for the all-terrain Huracán and rated for its top speed of 260 km/h, assured maximum performance in the wintery conditions. The aluminum front underbody, reinforced sills and rear diffuser, and enhanced wheel arches protected the Sterrato from icy obstacles, and emphasized its powerful muscularity in the challenging winter sports environment. This car caught the attention of skiers and vacationers in its ice-cool winter whites of Bianco Phanes with details in Grigio Telesto and black carbon fiber including the reinforced wheel arches. Future owners of the Huracán Sterrato can also create their own unique sporty style from 350 external colours and more than 60 interior leather and Alcantara options through the Lamborghini Ad Personam personalization program. The Huracán Sterrato’s 5.2-liter V10 engine delivers a maximum power output of 610 CV and 560 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, combined with 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and electronically controlled all-wheel drive with rear mechanical self-locking differential. Designed to offer optimum performance on loose surfaces, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 260 km/h (160 mph). Production of the 1,499 Huracán Sterrato super sports cars starts this month, with deliveries commencing early summer. [1] The vehicle is not yet offered for sale and is therefore not subject to Directive 1999/94/EC. The fuel consumption and emissions data are in the type of approval stage. BONUS IMAGES:

The old days are gone sadly. However, I’m working on getting a software to the board and a new skin to help make things more streamlined. Trying to format to work with how people connect is the biggest hurdle.

The new V12 Lamborghini hybrid (Aventador successor)
Destructo replied to Luckydaff's topic in Automobili Lamborghini
What a disappointment if accurate. A blend of Sian, Huracan and Aventador. I suppose I should pay more attention, but since the announcement of a hybrid I’ve paid so little attention to it…just bleh. -

We're not all gone, just a bit distracted. That being said, its time for an overhaul. -
It's a tricky thing this board. And I wish I could say it will be back and better than ever, but it may not be that way. I'm trying to figure out some things on the back end to get stuff back, but between life and full time work and family, there isn't much left in the time sheet. That being said, there are a couple things I have planned that may help out. But it's a slow roll out. Any ideas I'm open too, so don't hold back. I love the discussion you guys are putting out. Thanks for sticking around and checking it out.

Let me look into it this weekend. My apologies, life has been a bit hectic. Am finally trying to dig out of a hole here and on our social channels.

Hey there, can you shoot me a PM via guest? We'll pick it up from there.

Good to see you around still Jim, hope the projects continue. Always happy to see what stuff you are making these days!

Look into Herman Miller products. They are quality stuff. Pricey, but good.

Which to use to sell LP640; BaT, Ebay, duPont, etc.
Destructo replied to jamesb's topic in Archived Content
Excellent point. Roy would be able to move it for sure! -
Welcome! I think the best use would be to contact the dealer in London (+44 20 7138 7903), which is just under 2 hours from you. They would know of any customers nearby and could reach out on your behalf to see if there is the opportunity. Hope they can help you out, but we wouldn't have details on where any owners are unless they've shared it publicly.

My gosh, at first blush it does not look good. I'm dutch by nature so I'd speculate with all the associated changes it should have gone for under $200K, but not by much. Again, I'm cheap

E-gear or manual? There are a couple of parties I could connect you with potentially if it's a manual.
