Frank Nuovo, chief of design for Vertu says: “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.”

The Vertu ‘V’ logo is complemented by the famous Ferrari Cavallino, that appears on the front and back of the phone. As with all Ferrari phones by Vertu, the Ascent Ti Ferrari editions use the same leather and stitching as the latest Ferrari car interiors. The handset is made using the finest materials, including a sapphire crystal screen and a chassis built from high grade titanium that gives the Ascent Ti its distinctive name.

Other than the impressive material used on the Vertu Ascent Ti series, the luxury candybar phone is a GSM Quadband (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) phone and also supports WCDMA 2100 3G connection. It also comes with built in Bluetooth, 3 megapixel camera, 4GB internal memory and micro USB port.
