The Vertu Ascent Motorsport cell phone retails for pricey $5,700, “but, then it can survive being run over by a Porsche — its inspiration. The Vertu was designed based on “Formula One Porsche race cars”. Its casing is made of petroleum-resistant automotive leather inlaid with carbon fiber and a patented composite material called Liquidmetal that is supposed to be twice as hard as stainless steel, the New York Times reported Saturday, according to UPI. “The Liquidmetal casing of the phone makes it so durable, it can even withstand being run over by the very F1 Porsche the design was inspired from,” said a statement by the cell phone company.
