When Ferrari celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2022, the iconic marque unveiled the Purosangue, a remarkable addition to its illustrious lineup of 2+2 cars. With a perfect blend of performance, driving pleasure, and comfort, the Purosangue embodies the very essence of the Ferrari DNA, earning its name, which translates to 'thoroughbred' in Italian. Unlike many vehicles' front-engine layout, the Purosangue boasts a mid-front-mounted lump combined with a rear- mounted gearbox, creating a superb transaxle configuration. This unique engineering boosts the car's driving dynamics and delivers the exhilarating experience enthusiasts like us have come to expect from Ferrari. The Purosangue's powerhouse is none other than a naturally aspirated V12 mill. With a mind-boggling output of 725 horses, the Ferrari delivers pulse-racing performance throughout its range. Acceleration figures are utterly staggering, clocking in at 3.3 seconds from zero to 62mph. www.blmforum.net Business Link 41 AUTOLINK But it's not just about the numbers; the Purosangue offers the legendary Ferrari engine soundtrack that excites all mere mortals - inside and outside the car. Put it this way, get used to heads turning if you can afford one of these! Inside, the Purosangue has a roomy cabin, featuring four heated electric seats designed for utmost comfort. The rear-hinged doors enable easy access, and the biggest boot ever seen on a Ferrari, combined with folding rear seats, ensures practicality without compromising the Italian's athletic essence. What's more, the driving position is intimate and low, always connecting you to the car's dynamic capabilities. In terms of features, the Purosangue sets a new standard for opulence in the segment. The Burmester audio system lifts the driving experience even further, while the Alcantara upholstery, made from recycled material, reflects Ferrari's commitment to sustainability. This Ferrari is not just an awesome vehicle; it's a revolutionary statement that redefines what a four-door, four-seater sports car can be. With colossal performance, unparalleled comfort, and a whole host of innovative features, the Purosangue stands out - especially on the highways and byways of Lincolnshire - in a big way. Ferrari has once again proven that it can deliver a thrilling and luxurious driving experience, ensuring that the Prancing Horse remains at the forefront of automotive excellence. 42 Business Link www.blmforum.net events Scope 3 Emissions: Engaging with Your Suppliers and Customers Tuesday 3 December Online Are you a small-medium business owner in Lincolnshire or Rutland who wants to learn how to create a sustainable supply chain for your business?

However, in this case, Frazer may well have found the dream side-hustle, particularly for those with a refined palate — a chance to become the ‘UK’s first’ cheese fondue tester! Anyone with a love for lactose (even if it doesn’t love them!) is being invited to apply for the brie-lliant role by booking platform DesignMyNight, with the successful applicant to take on the task of trying fondue across various venues, with more than £1,000 worth of fondue experiences to be snaffled. Who would want to miss out on such a gouda opportunity? Perhaps it could be the start of a career as a cheese fondue connoisseur! © stock.adobe.com/ Maryna Workplace fear Frazer receives a lot of studies in his inbox, including the rather strange, or in this case scary. It turns out that there is one thing in the office that as many as a third of workers are afraid of: using the bathroom for a movement. The research from QS Supplies, surveying employee toilet habits, additionally indicates how toilets are a worry for employers too, with companies losing an estimated average of over £2,800 per remote employee and over £2,200 per in-office employee annually due to time spent in the loo during work hours. The surprisingly detailed study also shared the industries seeing the greatest costs for bathroom breaks, with the leader being tech, followed by marketing and finance, while men incur a greater estimated yearly expense from workplace bathroom breaks than women. © stock.adobe.com/ Nuchylee © stock.adobe.com/NAN Capitalising on politics A cruise company is capitalising on election results by offering frustrated U.S. voters an escape plan, covering the length of a presidential term. The cruises make a blatant play for Democrat custom with tongue in cheek tours including ‘One-Year Escape from Reality’, ‘Two-Year Mid-Term Selection’, ‘Three-Year Everywhere but Home’, and ‘Four-Year Skip Forward’. Not to rock the boat, the company has however stated that it began working on the marketing campaign prior to the election and would have run it regardless of who won, emphasising it is not actually meant to be a political campaign. Whether it is or not, sometimes everyone needs a break from politics, no matter who they support!
