Replacing the awesome Huracán, Lamborghini’s best-selling super sports car since its debut in 2014, the Temerario elevates innovation and performance to new heights. It features three driving modes - Recharge, Hybrid, and Performance - allowing you to adapt your experience based on your journey. The intuitive 12.3-inch digital driver’s dashboard visually reflects the selected setting with engaging animated graphics. There is also the Città mode, which enables fully electric operation for urban driving with a maximum power output of 189 PS. Conversely, the Recharge mode effectively uses the massive V8 engine to breathe life into the battery as required. There is also a Strada setting which optimises fuel efficiency for long-haul journeys, providing a balance of performance and practicality. Furthermore, a Sport mode enhances the Temerario’s character, delivering a thrilling and responsive driving experience across all selectable modes. The Hybrid system is there to enrich this experience by providing robust power along with the exhilarating roar of the Lambo’s finely tuned V8 lump. On the track, a Corsa mode shows off the Temerario’s unworldly dynamic capabilities. It enables the powertrain to unload its testosterone, boosting performance and the emotional magnitude of the driving experience. Additionally, the Italian sports car maker has ushered in a stimulating Drift mode, designed to heighten driving enjoyment through precise control of oversteer. Fitted with a trio of adjustable settings, it caters to drivers of varying skill levels. With the Temerario, the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based marque sets a new standard by uniting cutting-edge technology with brain-churning performance. It is a case of buckling up for a ride that promises a meld of power, precision, and thrill that only Lamborghini can deliver. Cars are expected to be available to UK customers around summertime. www.blmforum.net Business Link 41 AUTOLINK42 Business Link www.blmforum.net events Cut Costs, Boost Reputation: Net Zero Made Simple for SMEs Wednesday 19 February Grayingham Grange Farm, Grayingham Join a workshop specifically designed for SMEs to capitalise on moving towards Net Zero.

This may make one wonder, what are the most contentious issues causing friction in the workplace, pushing employees to their limits? Well, a new survey that has made its way across Frazer’s desk reveals just that. According to BizSpace, thermostat battles stand as one of the most common sources of grievances, with a staggering 42% of workers highlighting arguments over office temperature as their biggest source of frustration. Loud talkers are also a cause of fights, with 37% of respondents saying noise disruptions from colleagues are the most grating issue. 31%, meanwhile, pointed to dirty dishes and leftover food in shared spaces as a major annoyance, whereas 25% of workers cited passive- aggressive emails or unnecessary CCs as sparking office conflicts. © stock.adobe.com/Drobot Dean Time savers In the fast-paced, modern world, many of us have been left without enough hours in the day to get all our work done, requiring clever multi- tasking. The necessity of this has even led to one in three Brits stating they are confident they have mastered the art of multi-tasking! Revealing the ‘hacks’ of the time-poor in a new nationwide survey by Roam, a busy quarter of individuals send work emails on the loo, while one in twenty call their boss while cleaning their house. Jumping on a teams meeting while looking after the kids (9%), and sending emails on the treadmill (7%) are also helping people make the most of their time, while 7% have dialled into a work call while walking the dog - and 13% have done a full week’s shop during a meeting! Frazer’s not sure he could pull all of these off, and indeed this is the case for many other people as 85% surveyed admitted that splitting their concentration across tasks has resulted in them making a mistake. © stock.adobe.com/Andrey Popov © stock.adobe.com/DragonImages Festive filers More than 4,400 people avoided peeling the parsnips and potatoes by filing their tax return online on Christmas Day, HM Revenue and Customs has revealed. In total, 40,072 customers, as well as spending the three-day holiday indulging in Christmas traditions of eating, drinking, and watching festive favourites on the TV, found time to go online and wrap up their 2023 to 2024 tax return, ahead of the 31 January deadline. 15:00 to 15:59 proved to be the most popular time to file on Christmas Day, perhaps taking advantage of the post-lunch slump, while 11,932 customers skipped the leftovers, submitting on Boxing Day, and instead of last-minute shopping and wrapping, 23,731 filed on Christmas Eve.Printing|Copying|Graphic Design LOGOS | BRANDING | BUSINESS STATIONERY FLYERS & POSTERS | BROCHURES | NEWSLETTERS A0 COPYING & SCANNING | OS MAPPING CAD & PLAN PRINTING | PRINT FINISHING High Quality Print & Design in Lincolnshire N 01522 546118 E sales@lincolncopycentre.co.uk www.lincolncopycentre.co.uk 45 YEARS IN BUSINESS FREE TO ATTEND NETWORKING EXHIBITION FOR CONSTRUCTION, PROPERTY, FINANCE, INVESTMENT, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES & RELATED B2B SECTORS PROPERTY & BUSINESS INVESTMENT LINCOLNSHIRE EXPO For further information visit businessshowsgroup.co.uk 26th March 2025 The Bentley Hotel, South Hykeham LN6 9NH SPONSORSTOWER FIELD SERVICES Cat Tech Tower Field Services offers bespoke mechanical services to oil refinery and petrochemical plants all around the world.
