ASUS Lamborghini VX2 speeds out of the gate

With top-of-the-line components and next-generation wireless radio, the ASUS Lamborghini VX2 looks ready to set new speed records.

Based on the high-end T7400 Core 2 Duo processor, which pumps out 2.16GHz of raw computing power, the latest race car-inspired 15.4-inch laptop uses the gaming standard 512MB Nvidia GeForce Go 7700 graphics card, previously seen in the ASUS G1, for pure visual pleasure. It also uses a draft-N Wi-Fi radio, the fastest wireless standard currently in use.

Other notable features include a swivel Webcam, 160GB harddisk, DVI connectivity and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition operating system. Too bad it's rather stingy with USB ports, offering a mere three slots to plug your peripherals in.

The ASUS Lamborghini VX2 should be seeing daylight some time in early Q2, with a retail price set at a whopping S$4,888 (US$3,519.33). Still, at least there is no road tax needed for this little baby.
