Continuing its cooperation with the famous Italian supercar maker, Asus unwrapped its latest Lamborghini-branded laptops at this week's Computex 2010 convention in Tapei, Taiwan.
The new ASUS-Lamborghini VX6 comes with a 12.1-inch screen while its VX7 sibling features a larger 15.6-inch screen. Both laptops feature a sexy-looking glossy case inspired from Lamborghini's supermodels, but the real eye-catcher is the bigger VX7 with its Gallardo / Murcielago themed rear section.
Other than the Raging Bull-inspired design, both laptops come with a Bang & Olufsen sound system with the smaller VX6 featuring a 1366×768 LCD display, Intel Atom D525 processor (1.8Ghz), Nvidia ION 2 graphics, and up to 4GB of RAM.
The larger VX7 will be offered with the choice of an Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processor, Nvidia N11E-GS graphics, up to 16GB of RAM, and a 1920×1080 display.
This here is the Lamborghini Cnossus, a design study for a supercar concept named after the ancient Greek city of Cnossus (Knossus) on the island of Crete. The eye-catching Cnossus was designed by Russian student Victor Filipchenko with the help of his Portuguese colleague Nelson Simoes as part of their final thesis project at Italy's Scuola Politecnica di Design.
The designers claim to have been inspired by the Lamborghini Countach, though it is evident that the edgy styling of the limited production Reventon special also played a role in the design of the Cnossus Concept. You can check out the rest of the pictures and share your thoughts on the design of the Lamborghini concept in the comments sections right after the jump.
At least in Europe, Honda is following some pretty unconventional methods to promote its new CR-Z hybrid sports coupe. In fact, unless you're the artsy type or have a vivid imagination, you'll have a pretty hard time trying to figure out how Honda, the CR-Z or any car for that matter, fit in the "Live Every Litre" film project.
But just so you can get an idea, the "Live Every Litre" is supposed to be a documentary-style road movie in which numerous members of the public have been nominated by the project's online community to realize their dream in the new Honda CR-Z hybrid coupe.
In this case, Agent Lynch, aka Kate Rawlinson (originally from Newcastle), wanted to perform the world's first guerrilla burlesque routine in the streets of Monmartre in Paris.
The young law-degree-holder, who by the way, does not appear to have a driver's license as she had her boyfriend drive the CR-Z (...), performed a public striptease for the unsuspecting yet clearly delighted Paris crowd.
Agent Lynch left little to the imagination stripping from her vintage dress right down to her lacy lingerie and then to top it off, she poured blue paint all over her naked body before imprinting herself on a white and red satin flag to form the French tricolore - sweet.
Not that we have anything whatsoever against young women showing off their bodies in the name of art, but we repeat; all this was done as part of Honda's European promotion of the new CR-Z. Then again, we did post a story on the event...
