Everybody is by now well accustomed to race car inspired notebooks and even netbooks, since Ferrari and BMW already have a fair number of this units out in the wild, but Lamborghini and ASUS seem to be falling behind since the Lamborghini VX6 netbook, announced at Computex 2010, hasn't been launched until now.

But that is bound to change since latest reports state that the VX6's manual has shown up online on ASUS's website pointing to an IFA launch.

We already covered the initial Computex announcement, but if you are not familiar with the VX6 you should know that ASUS's future netbook will feature a dual-core Intel Atom D525 processor together with NVIDIA's Next Generation ION graphics solution with 512MB of VRAM.

The race car inspired netbook will also carry a 1366x768 pixels 12 inch display, up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity as well as two USB 3.0 ports and HDMI output.

Early reports also suggested that the netbook will be able to render 3D content and pack a Bang & Olufsen, ICEpower sound system similar to the one in the ASUS N73Jn we recently reviewed.

Performance wise things certainly look pretty well but I have to wonder about what battery life we can get out of this as the Atom D525 processor lacks Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology.

Optimus should however by present (as this is one of the main features that ION2 brings over its older sibling) so that should alleviate power consumption when the netbook is used in less graphics intensive situations.

Although the VX6 certainly looks nice, those of you that aren't Lamborghini fans should search elsewhere as that raging bull emblem bring the price all the way up to $699, a figure more fitting for a notebook that a netbook. (via TCMagazine)
