Ferrari-Branded Motorola V9 Coming

Motorola isn't one to shy away from shilling for Ferrari and this latest cellphone-sports car mash-up is further proof. Motorola has taken its previously boring RAZR 2 V9 cellphone and slapped Ferrari branding on it therefore increasing the sexiness level 10-fold. Normally in our Auto Branding Adventures, we're not one to easily give in to these types of products, but the Ferrari'd version of the V9 is mighty pretty. The checkered metallic patterns and red-everything is a tad drool-worthy for the gadget-fiends out there.

Of course, Motorola has included the lot of Ferrari background images, pictures, ringtones and more, but also included is a lambskin case that includes the familiar Ferrari badge. It will first be available in Asia and Latin America with a stateside release to be determined. [Gizmos.es]

It allows you to imagine that you are having phone sex with a higher class of, uh, partner.

So I walk into Starbucks in my Ferrari Michael Schumacher cap, careful not to get dirt on my new Ferrari Puma Supersqualo Lo GT shoes. I take off my Ferrari Classiche leather jacket and hang it on my chair, exposing my Ferrari World Champions 2007 t-shirt and red Ferrari calfskin belt holding up my Ferrari corduroy trousers. It takes a while for my eyes to adjust to the harsh light after I take off my Ferrari Modena Challenge aviator-style sunglasses. I open up my Ferrari leather laptop case and pull out my Acer Ferrari 4000 laptop, so I can download driving directions to my Harman/Becker Ferrari Navigator Traffic Assist Pro.

All of a sudden, I get a call from a friend* on my Ferrari Motorola RAZR V9 phone. I've been invited for a weekend ski trip, perfect to show off my brand-new Ferrari Dynastar skis and red Ferrari Lange boots! I quickly jot some details on my Ferrari 2008 weekly planner with my Ferrari 60th Anniversary pencil, remembering to sharpen it with my Ferrari aluminum pencil sharpener afterwards.

It's starting to rain, but fortunately I have my Ferrari 456M gear stick knob umbrella with me. I expertly tie my Ferrari Cavallino white neck scarf and put on my jacket and sunglasses, and then I return to my car...my Ford Aspire.

*Just kidding...with all this Ferrari gear I don't have any friends.

@bzr the paranoid android: in my head I am envisioning the scene from A Christmas Story, where Ralphie is imagining the reaction to his story about the Red Rider BB gun...

"...and now it's time to see how fast this goes 'round our track, and that means..."

Wait... no. It's just a phone. 99.9% of which will be sold to people without a Ferrari, thus making it 99.9% pretentious crap.

Damn, for a split second there I thought Ferrari was coming out with a V9 engine - which would be a very funky contraption indeed!

@bzr the paranoid android: I was going to riff on if the phone would drive you off the track if it didn't like who you were calling, but then I read your slam on poseurs. Nicely played sir.
