The Asus Lamborghini VX5 laptop comes with an LCD cover designed to remind users of the Lamborghini Reventón sport car's aluminum-alloy fuselage.

Its piano-painted mirror surface is also supposed to mimic the car's finish. The notebook comes with a 1TB SSD from pureSilicon Inc., which launched the mega-flash drive in January.

The pureSilicon SSD boasts a data transfer burst speed of 300MB/sec,
a sustained read speed of 240MB/sec and a sustained write speed of 215MB/sec.

The Lamborghini VX5 will also come with an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU, and 4GB of RAM. "It features a TwinTurbo mode that users can utilize to accelerate CPU and GPU performance via a speed key," Asus said.

The notebook also has an illuminated "chiclet" keyboard that automatically lights up in low light conditions.

The laptop's display is a 16-inch "Full HD" (1080p or a 1920 x 1080) screen along with a dedicated Nvidia GeForce GT 130M graphics chip with 1GB of GDDR 3 video RAM.

For watching movies on laptops, the laptop's Blu-ray drive and the onboard HDMI socket allow output to an HDTV.

Asus has not yet set a release data or price for the new laptop.
