Meridian celebrate 40th anniversary of Led Zeppelin
For 30 years, Meridian Audio have been producing some of the most highly regarded speakers in the industry. I'm sure its safe to say that plenty of Led Zeppelin has been played through their speakers, so its fitting that Meridian are helping to celebrate 40 years of their music.
The Cervelo R3
In the world of road riding, the Paris-Roubaix is regarded as the most gruelling race in the world. Its cobbled stones and muddy paths make the racing conditions far from straightforward. It's hard enough being an athlete in this race, but for the world's premier bicycle manufacturers, the raceG provides one of the toughest challenges for their bikes.
Historic Red Bull Air Racing
To celebrate the return of the Red Bull Air Race World Series to London on 2nd & 3rd August this year, current World Series leader Paul Bonhomme today took to the controls of a 1940’s Spitfire to try his hand at air racing of a different kind. Bonhomme’s aim was to test the speed and agility of the Spitfire, against a modern day plane designed specifically for the Red Bull Air Race, the MX2, piloted by his World Series opponent Nigel Lamb.
Luxury Property From Knight Frank
Whenever Knight Frank offer properties for sale, its always worth a second look. There has never been a better time for the luxury market, with such a diverse selection of properties available worldwide. We've decided to take a look at two developments which offer something a bit different for the Lusso reader.
Dock 'n' Roll with Alpine
Most luxury cars have navigation and entertainment systems that are bettered by a £100 system bought off the high street. Even some mobile phones have better devices. Companies such as Alpine have capitalised on this and produced solutions for the luxury car owner looking for a suitably luxury entertainment and navigation system.
Lamborghini meets Versace... again
Lamborghini and Versace are not a new pairing in the supercar world, having collaborated together since 2006. Closely following the release of the new Gallardo LP560-4, Lamborghini have released the LP640 Roadster Versace, a limited edition model.
Luxury Treatment at the British Motor Show
The British International Motor Show starts in London in late July, and VIP tickets are now on sale for the exclusive opening day on the 23rd July 2008. This ensures priority entrance to the show which will see a number of automotive debuts. The show is being held at ExCel London from the 23rd July to 3rd August.
From Car Boot to Harvey Nichols
To make a change from the usual luxury drinks such as champagne and high end Russian vodka, we've sampled a lager, which is imported from Peru and gaining huge popularity on the UK scene. Is this another drink from a multinational aiming to cash in on the summer drinking season? Not at all, this one is imported by two friends who enjoyed it on a trip to Peru and went one better than bringing a couple of bottles home with them.
The King of Burgers
Is any burger – no – can any burger, be worth £95? The short answer is no. But considering that the money goes to charity (Help a London Child), if you’re going to give away the best part of £100, you might as well get some bragging rights for it.
Antler release Size Zero Luggage
Being a size zero has long been the aim of any aspiring supermodel, but a new luggage set that goes by the same name is claiming to be equally lightweight but in this instance, it isn't likely to snap at the first gust of wind at the airport.
Eclipse 500 faces FAA investigation
Eclipse Aviation are the world's leading very light jet manufacturer, providing jets which are both affordable and innovative. Their Eclipse 500 jet is an ideal jet for personal and business travel and at around $2 million, its bringing personal jet ownership into a new market.
Lamborghini Reventón takes to the air
The Lamborghini Reventón takes Lamborghini's usual extragence to a new level, with its fighter jet inspired carbon fibre body and 1 million euro price tag. But that isn't enough for the Italian car builder, and it chose Turin as the location for a fantastic publicity stunt.
