Lamborghini Phone

Lamborghini has stooped to a new low. They have announced a $6,000 limited production phone with a production run of just under 2,000 units. I know that Ferrari made branded phones, but who would buy this crap?

As Android phones go, it looks relatively strange because there shouldn't be any capacitative touch buttons on the bottom of the screen now.

I'd rather get a Nexus 5 or a Nexus 6 and save my money... but who said money ever bought taste?

It is not from Lamborghini, rather from Tonino Lamborghini.

Son of founder Ferruccio, completely unrelated to the present day automotive company. As far as I can remember, neither him, Tonino, or his sister are in possess of any Lamborghini brand started by their father.

She has a large vineyard and annexed farm, while he runs the Tonino Lamborghini clothing brand, once in collaboration with Lamborghini Automotive but they released their own clothing line a couple of years ago.

The tractor company is now in the hands of SAME Deutz-Fahr, another tractor company. The boiler and AC units company is an independent company if I remember correctly.

This would be the same as buying an overpriced Audi with a Lamborghini badge.

Oh wait.

Wow, didn't know the brand was so fragmented. Reminds me of Saab and Rolls Royce, with the aeronautical and automobile divisions.

There's also Volvo and the truck division (or should I say, the other way round actually).

If you want a series of ludicrously expensive phones, explore Vertu.

Also, see Porsche Design.

Yeah, I saw those too. Who the heck wants a $3,000 Blackberry?
