Constellation Quest Ferrari Phone by Vertu


Vertu has unveiled the Constellation Quest Ferrari, a luxury smartphone inspired by the Ferrari 458 Italia sports car.
The most striking feature of the product is the iconic Cavallino Rampante, intrinsically crafted from polished stainless steel and embedded in the titanium battery cover. The Ferrari logo is embossed in the leather on the front of the handset.
The luxury handset is meticulously crafted from the most luxurious of materials such as polished sapphire crystal, Ferrari calf leather and polished black ceramic.
The leather used in the creation of the product is the same handmade Italian calf leather Ferrari uses in the interior of its GT cars.
Each Constellation Quest Ferrari handset is built by just one craftsman who signs the handset as an assurance of Vertu’s commitment to quality.
The new analogue clock on Constellation Quest Ferrari is inspired by the distinctive rev-counter on Ferrari’s 458 Italia.
A new set of ringtones was obtained from live recordings of a Ferrari 458 Italia on a test circuit and is available exclusively to this handset.
By pressing the specially created Cavallino key, prominently featured on the front of the handset, customers are able to access unique Ferrari content and experiences.

The C-1 Electric Motorcycle

The C-1 Electric Motorcycle was created by Lit Motors, Inc. for those who are infatuated with the idea of motor bikes but too afraid to ride one. The C-1 has an enclosed frame, seats two and is balanced by gyroscopes.
The C-1 Electric Motorcycle can hit a top speed of 120 mph and needs to be recharged after an impressive 200 miles. The bike seats two although the second person looks to be somewhat squished in the concept photos. 
Several gyroscopes placed on the underside of the vehicle would help balance it at stops and in the event of an accident. Lit Motors’ C-1 would also have H2V, H2C, V2I and V2V connectivity to provide drivers with real-time information on weather and traffic conditions.
