Can your cellphone survive 5 run overs from a silver 2003 Porsche Boxster? Well, the Vertu Ascent Motorsport Edition sure can.

Inspired by the very designs of Porsche sport cars, the phone is made of petroleum-resistant automotive leather inlaid with carbon fiber and a patented composite material called Liquidmetal. In other words, friggin’ hard stuff!

But the leery people at The New York Times just had to see it to believe it.

“I held my breath as I watched Denise back up the Boxster. I heard a soft crunch as the right rear tire rolled over the Liquidmetal casing of the Vertu. I dug the phone out of the Styrofoam pad. The crystal display panel lighted up immediately. Denise insisted on running over it again. Once again, the Vertu made it through without a scratch.”

Price? A healthy set of body organs, or US$5,700. Only 997 sets available.

Can’t afford a new set? You could try eBay.
