Teenage Engineering just revealed a, uh, Yes, it’s $250 for a small piece of metal with wheels that you can roll around on a desk for a while before you get bored. The company tends to launch two types of products. There are the extremely expensive audio devices and, well, everything else. Today’s surprise release falls squarely in the latter camp.
This may not be as egregious as the which you have to assemble yourself or but it’s still a trinket that should cost around $2.50, not $250. Teenage Engineering says its Grip Car is made of aluminum and features soft ball bearing rubber wheels. The use case scenarios here seem endless, and the company suggests people “move it in any direction” or put it on their shelf. Wait, those are the only two.
For those curious, the Grip Car is available in three colors, so you can choose between red, black or aluminum. Was created by who previously worked with companies such as Bang & Olufsen to help manufacture, among other products.
By the way, the has been acting peculiar lately, with an abundance of symbols that seem to announce some kind of announcement for tomorrow. The company confirmed to Engadget That the Grip Car is not part of this upcoming announcement and stay tuned for the press release tomorrow afternoon. The announcement appears to be audio related, due to the floating icons on the site, but it is not yet known if it will be hardware or software.
