Vertu has launched a new phone, the Vertu
Ascent Ferrari 1947 Limited Edition, to commemorate
Ferrari’s 60th Anniversary. Using hand-polished titanium for
the chassis the special limited edition draws inspiration
from Ferrari GT cars that embody strength, durability and
high-level performance. Vertu worked closely with
Ferrari’s design team to develop this
exclusive limited edition ‘phones.
The Vertu Ascent Ferrari 1947 Limited
Edition is inspired by the dynamic and
stylish Ferrari cars. Echoing this latest
edition to the Ferrari GT stable, the phone
is encased in red and black Ferrari leather
with black lacquer stripes running at the
sides. Carefully crafted with the same
precision and attention to detail given when
assembling a Ferrari, the Vertu Ascent
Ferrari 1947 Limited Edition celebrates the
delicate balance between form and function.
Frank
Nuovo,
the Vertu
Designer,
discussed the collaboration between the two firms, saying:
"Ferrari
and Vertu
have
three
shared
values,
Craftsmanship
(Vertu
mobile devices and Ferrari cars are both hand made),
attention to design and engineering performance."
The bezel nose on the front of the phone
features the famed Ferrari Prancing Horse,
while on the rear back plate there is a
scaled down iconic Ferrari brake pedal,
crafted from high-graded aluminium, like that
used in Ferrari cars. To underline the
exclusivity of the Vertu Ascent Ferrari 1947
Limited Edition each piece is individually
serialised 1 to 1947 - paying homage to the
very year when the first car to bear the
Prancing Horse marque was built by the
founder, Enzo Ferrari.
The Vertu Ascent Ferrari 1947 Limited
Edition is handcrafted in the United
Kingdom. It also comes with a stylish case,
designed by Ferrari’s design team.
