Segway's Ferrari edition (that's right)

Mike Yamamoto | Nov 05, 2007

Despite a recent push by human chickens, the Segway still hasn't become the ubiquitous mode of personal transportation that some once envisioned. And somehow it seems that acquiring Ferrari's nameplate won't bring it that much closer to reality.

Yet the racing legend has done just that, which makes us wonder if there's anything it won't put its name on. But hey, more power to them if they can get people to pay US$12,000 for a "Segway PT i2 Ferrari Limited Edition", especially because there's apparently no performance advantage over the original (though it does have a leather handlebar, according to Sybarites).

We do, however, give the company some credit for endorsing at least something that's mobile--which is more than we can say for Bugatti's toaster.

Wow, a Ferrari edition. Too bad it doesn't move faster. These things are easy to use. Tried one before and it took mere minutes to master it.
