Lexus NX 100 Thieves. A car design based on tens of thousands of data points from world championship games. The first art car design generated entirely by championship gameplay data. This is not just a tribute to a world championship winning team. It's a map of how they got there.

To celebrate Lexus’ partnership with eSports team 100 Thieves and their League of Legends world championship title, we created the Lexus Thieves NX: An art car whose design recreates every move and action of the decisive events that led to the team’s world championship title.

The car print design is based on generative design technology made specifically for the Lexus NX 100 T to produce a graphic representation of 100 Thieves’ championship win. Lines, nodes, and curves reflect player actions and movements from the team’s 11 victorious playoff matches. Each win is marked in reflective red ink and inscribed with the name of the top player.

The Lexus NX 100T is not just a tribute to a world championship winning team – it’s a map of how they got there. This innovative car design takes every move and action of the decisive events that led to the team’s championship victory and turns it into breathtaking art.

With its signature geo-print in reflective red ink, inscribed with the names of the top players, the Lexus NX 100T is as much a symbol of success as it is a reminder of the team’s resilience and hard work. Lines, nodes, and curves reflect player actions and movements from the team’s 11 victorious playoff matches. Each win is marked in reflective red ink and inscribed with the name of the top player.

The Champion Print on the Thieves NX will be recognizable to fans of 100 Thieves because it resembles their signature geo-print, but Lexus’ version gives it an entirely new spin. The Champion Print is not only a remembrance of the team’s success; it is also a map of how they got there.

How to tell a success story with generative design: The underlying web-based design system uses tens of thousands of data points from the 11 World Championship games to create a visual representation of 100 Thieves’ success.

The generative design tool uses actual player data to craft a car design that is a pictorial representation of the 100 Thieves’ title win. Threads, clusters, and contours reflect player motion and action from the group’s 11 victories. Each win is underlined in luminous red ink and inscribed with the name of the top player.

The car’s design is based on tens of thousands of data points from the 11 World Championship games. These include the actions of individual players such as assists, kills and deaths, as well as their exact position in the gameworld, which are displayed chronologically on the Lexux NX 100T. This is not just a tribute to a championship team. It’s a map of how they got there. Video by 100 Thieves.
