Expanding on the success of the O11D EVO, Lian Li has collaborated with Automobili Lamborghini to release a mid-tower case perfect for any petrolhead, the O11 EVO RGB Automobili Lamborghini.
Overview
Italian luxury meets Taiwanese innovation; the O11 EVO RGB Automobili Lamborghini is the next release from Lian Li in the O11 series. A mid-tower case crafted to be both aesthetically stunning and yet functional, the O11 EVO RGB Automobili Lamborghini case continues with the seamless look and dual chamber design of the O11 EVO RGB with additions to really drive home the Lamborghini collaboration.
Sporting a sleek design fit for Lamborghini
Teaming up with Automobili Lamborghini, the Lian Li O11 EVO RGB Automobili Lamborghini is adorned with well thought-out details to please even the biggest motorsport enthusiast. The iconic Lamborghini bull logo features proudly on the front tempered glass panel, accompanied by Giallo Orion yellow accents across the case. This includes the rubber washers and lettering, as well as the lighting strips, which are also preset to the Giallo Orion Pantone colour. The top and front panels feature slick carbon fibre, with the feet and front I/O also receiving the same treatment.
If that wasn't enough, the rear mount fan mount has been replaced with an integrated 5" LCD display, reminiscent of a car dashboard. The speedo and rev counter have been replaced to display CPU or GPU performance details and can be controlled by buttons on the back of the case. Switch between displaying GPU or CPU information as well as altering the display colour. The O11 EVO RGB Automobili Lamborghini is limited edition, with just over 6000 available. Each case has a unique number featured on the back panel.

As with the O11D EVO, the O11 EVO RGB Automobili Lamborghini sports a spacious dual chamber design, to showcase only the best components, the PSU and other non-desirable parts can be neatly tucked away in the second chamber. The chassis can support the latest GPUs with a clearance of up to 455.7 mm and up to E-ATX motherboards. The case also continues to offer multiple removable panels to not only allow easy access for installation but also to be configured in "Reverse Mode" to support an inverted motherboard layout.
Keeping cool under pressure

And given the average starting price of a Lambo, these will be hellamucho expensive :(
My local stockists don't mention this version.
edit: closer to $600 AU.
Anyway, it just looks like pretty much every other tempered glass case that's made the rounds this year. Nothing about it stands out to me. I think it would have been better to get some etched logo in a nice side panel or front panel over a tiny little logo and some yellow accent color. It just feels like a cheap way to jack the price up.
I'd rather a solid rear panel for more directed air and less holes for dust to get in.
In this Lian Li case, it might be a problem though as there really isn't solid sides all around to channel the air upwards. But we will know soon enough, someone will buy it and review it ;)
See, Automobili Lamborghini translates literally to Lamborghini Cars. Calling it Automobili would be like calling the Ford Motor Company just Motor Company in an article.
But like P4-630 said above, if I actually wanted a car logo on my pc (I DO NOT) then I'd just do the $5 sticker thingy and be happy :D
so sad for what was once a legendary, luxury brand to stoop to this level IMHO :(

It has not always been the case through this auto manufacturer's decades.
Anyhow, lifestyle marketing is a thing in 2024 and this is the type of thing consumers these days go for.
Porsche Design has been doing this for decades. Ferrari has also gotten into this particularly in Europe with retail stores and more cross-branded merchandise that Americans don't see in the stateside malls. Formula One is a big deal in Europe, here in 'Murika, it's NASCAR or bust so Chevy Camaros. But Harley-Davidson has been doing this stateside also for decades.
The fact that Lamborghini is jumping into a co-branded premium PC case market isn't particularly eyebrow raising.
But putting an etched logo really would not match the Lambo brand. Their cars are flashy head turners. Hell, you can often hear them before you see them. An understated brand presence is the complete antithesis of the Lamborghini corporate image. This is a rockstar brand.
Of course, Lian Li didn't change anything. Older non-Lamborghini branded O11D cases have the same shaped hexagon holes.
In fact it's not a design element exclusive to the O11 cases. The hexagon vent holes are in other Lian Li cases like the Lancool series.
