The latest edition in the luxury Vertu Ascent series is limited to 997 devices. Released to coincide with the company's sponsorship of the Porsche Michelin Supercup, the Motorsport is made from liquid metal alloy with an oil-resistant metal case, inlaid with carbon fibre for added durability. In case you are wondering about the significance of the number, think of the iconic Porsche 997 racing car. Other specifications are in line with the regular Ascent models. They include precision engineered steel keys with jewelled bearings, a high resolution display with Crystal Fine technology, and a higher performance 20mm hands free speaker (the sound quality belies its size.) Interestingly, this phone also boasts multilingual predictive text input. Yours for a cool $36,000.
