Ferrari, albeit one that strays from the automaker’s usual playbook. The Purosangue (named after an Italian word that means thoroughbred) is the first Prancing Horse with four doors, two of which are rear-hinged and open in a dramatic fashion.

The Purosangue is not a low-slung track monster with a singular focus of pursuing relentless speed, but an all-weather, practical supercar. Its silhouette is more crossover-like, and its bonnet is stretched because of the huge V12 engine up front. Its headlamps have an angry stare, yet it transfixes you in a mesmerising way.

The brokerage has elevated resilient export-oriented sectors like IT and pharma to overweight and market weight, respectively, benefiting from improving demand, a weaker rupee and defensive attributes. Goldman Sachs said the expected rebound in the Nifty 50 index would be fueled by a combination of mid-teen earnings growth and strategic focus on export-oriented sectors like IT and pharma, which have been upgraded to reflect their favorable positioning in the current macroeconomic environment, benefiting from improving global demand, tailwinds from a weaker rupee, and defensive characteristics.
