Recently Vertu came up with an announcement of adding three new editions to the Vertu stable of handcrafted, Ferrari branded, mobile phones.
The Vertu Ascent Ti Ferrari Nero would be geared up with 2009 limited edition handsets. These devices will be available in sleek black leather specification. On the other hand, the Vertu Ascent Ti Ferrari Rosso and Giallo will be available in red color and yellow color respectively at a global level.
Vertu and Ferrari have collaborated in a very closed manner in order to enable the specifications, material as well as design cues from the cars to be integrated seamlessly into the Vertu Ascent Ti.
Frank Nuovo, chief of design for Vertu said, “The original design for the Ascent Ti was heavily influenced by the dynamic power of luxury sports cars and working closely with Ferrari has enabled us to progress this vision. The new Vertu Ascent Ti Ferrari editions are the definitive automotive-inspired handsets – bold, balanced and with the unmistakable character of the Prancing Horse.”
Alberto Torres, President, Vertu commented : “Ferrari and Vertu share a passion for design and an uncompromising attitude to craftsmanship – we are thrilled to see the signature elements of the legendary Ferrari’s created in Maranello, Italy, being meticulously handcrafted into the Vertu Ascent Ti Ferrari handset at our workshop in England.”
Features:
- A quad-band GSM radio (850/900/1800/1900MHz)
- 3 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash
- 4GB internal memory
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Five hours talk time and 300 hours standby time.
- The new collection of sounds is geared up with a lot of recordings of original Ferrari engine sounds.

The Logo of Vertu is accompanied with the Ferrari Cavallino, that can be easily seen on the back as well as the front side of the phone.
