The Lamborghini Aventador LP 570-4 Superveloce Roadster is special and it’s not just the name. At 1,575 kg, it is 50 kg lighter than the coupe. The 6.5-litre V12 engine brings power-to-weight ratio to a stunning 476 PS per tonne. Top speed is 350 kmph and 0 to 100 kmph flashes past in 2.9 seconds. The four-wheel drive car with adaptive pushrod suspension and a dynamic steering system should also corner rather well. The top? Carbon fibre, under 6 kg and it fits into the luggage compartment.

Classic maverick

Maverick Mechanical from Victorinox retains all the appeal of a sporty and robust watch in its adventurer styling, with its broad 43 mm stainless steel case, unidirectional rotating bezel, triple-treated anti-reflective sapphire crystal dial, and water resistance to 100 metres. The ladies’ version, in a 34 mm case, is the brand’s first mechanical watch for women and offers all the same features as its alter ego on a smaller scale.

Bloom, a new range of armchairs from Vector Projects, has been designed by Paola Ceola and is the perfect blend of Italian aesthetics and Indian practicality. Bright colours—green or violet—have been combined with a sturdy foundation of white varnished steel. Upholstered cushions, coated with technical fabric, provides comfort and durability, and makes Bloom suitable for both internal and external spaces.
