2014 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse

Lamborghini’s latest drool-machine is powered by a ferocious 425 kW V10 engine and thanks to large helpings of aluminium and carbon fibre, the Squadra Corse tips the scales at only 1340 kg - 70 kg lighter than the standard Gallardo LP 560-4. With this you can race to 200 km/h in a mere 10.4 seconds, onto a blink-and-you’ll miss top speed of around 320 km/h. More details surrounding the supercar will be announced at this month’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

Bowers & Wilkins CM10 speakers

British audio aficionados Bowers & Wilkins’ (B&W’s) new flagship floorstanding loudspeaker - the CM10 - marries opulent design (Rosenut or Wengé real wood veneers) with phenomenal sound quality. The latter is due to its tweeter-on-top design which aids sound dispersion for a more natural, spacious sound. This design also creates enough space inside the speaker cabinet for a third bass driver to provide a more powerful bass punch. RRP: $4 000 (around R40 000) per pair.
