ASUS' Lamborghini phone takes design award

Mike Yamamoto | Jun 23, 2008

Ferrari may preen for the most attention, but Lamborghini is the auto house that gets the bragging rights for now. The ASUS-Lamborghini ZX1 has won the prestigious iF Communication Design Award for "uncompromising quality in style and materials".

It's not the first co-branded Lamborghini phone--Nokia offers its own version--but the ZX1 will definitely turn heads for its original design. Beyond just slapping a logo on its cover, the 3.5G handset sports a "beehive textured air intake" pattern and a "chassis-inspired aerodynamic flow," according to Fareastgizmos. Inside is a nine-way navigational key inspired by the car's steering system, as well as a 2.8-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi receiver, Bluetooth, and 3-megapixel camera. No pricing was given, but we're guessing that it will likely correspond with the luxury vehicle it's named after.
