The Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 is now officially in Malaysia, having made its debut in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. The Huracan replaces the successful Gallardo in Lamborghini’s line-up, and retails for about RM2.1 million with duties, give or take. The amount for duties isn’t really finalised yet, but if you have the ability to buy the car sans duty, you’ll have to put up RM1.2 million. The name Huracan pays homage to a Spanish fighting bull. The 1,422 kg supercar is powered by a new “Iniezione Diretta Stratificata” naturally-aspirated 5.2 litre V10 making 610 hp at 8,250 rpm and 560 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The 100 km/h sprint is done in just 3.2 seconds – wait a while longer and 200 km/h is hit in 9.9 seconds from stop, on to a top speed of 325 km/h.

Like high definition TVs, Sharp is on a pursuit to make bezels as thin as possible. Looks like they have nailed with its latest Sharp Aquos Crystal that comes with no bezels.

While it is a design marvel, the Aquos Crystal is quite a mid-tier device with a 5″ display that does HD 720p resolution and a Snapdragon 400 processor that’s mated to just 1.5GB of RAM. For taking pictures, it gets a 8MP main camera and a front facing 1.2MP shooter. It also supports 4G LTE and with a 2,040mAh battery on board, it weighs 140 grams with a thickness of 10mm. Design wise, it reminds us of an Xperia S from 2 years back. Having zero bezels does look stunning but we are curious to see how it fares against accidental touches and side impacts when dropped from the sides. The Aquos Crystal will only be released in Japan and exclusively available in the US via Sprint.
