Ferrari has revealed the first official photographs of the F8 Tributo, the new mid-rear engined sports car that represents the highest expression of the company’s classic two-seater berlinetta. The name is an homage to both the model’s uncompromising layout and to the engine that powers it – with a massive 720 cv and a record specific power output of 185 cv/l, it is the most powerful V8 in Prancing Horse history for a non-special series car and sets the benchmark not just for turbos, but for engines across the board.

I would have loved to see the look on the old guys face, comfortably oblivious of his surroundings, safe in his generic eurobox, as we exited the roundabout side by side, me on the V-Strom, cranked over will a full set of luggage. ‘Round the outside, hard on the gas, then off in to the distance.

Dating back to 1865, Zenith has been creating innovative time pieces, driven by the passion for developing accurate and reliable watches. In 1969 Zenith became the first brand to develop a high-frequency automatic integrated column-wheel chronograph that beats at 36,000 vibrations an hour.
The Zenith Defy Zero G watch is exceptional due to the revolutionary escapement which is designed to maintain both the escapement and balance wheel upright at all times, whatever the position of the watch so that it keeps better time unaffected by a change in the direction of gravity.

It was less of a ripple and more of an earthquake that was caused by the screening of the BBC Documentary Fashions Dirty Secrets last year. Stacey Dooley’s exposé investigated the true cost of our obsession with new clothes, revealing that the fashion industry is the most polluting in the world, second only to oil.

The Battle of Britain Bunker in Uxbridge, west London, located on the former Royal Air Force (RAF) station best known as the headquarters of No.11 Group RAF and responsible for the aerial defence of London and south-east of England during the Battle of Britain, was the setting for the launch of a crowdfund campaign late this January to help raise funds for a memorial to the Polish Air Force.

The great and the good of the fashion industry gathered to pay homage at the alter of Dior yesterday, viewing the press preview of ‘Dior: Designer of Dreams’ at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was, as expected, utterly breathtaking.

Birmingham’s custom motorcycle chop shop The House of Mutt present something slightly different for their next 125. The SUPER 4, for the beautiful freaks and edgy nostalgics. Featuring a striking 70’s Boogie Nights inspired fuel tank, which comes in eye-popping blue or gold micro-flake throwing back to the original superbikes from the land of the rising sun. That doesn’t mean this bike is style over substance though.
