Since its introduction the Lamborghini Huracan has come under a lot of fire for not being “exciting” and “good-looking” enough by the fans and the press alike. So it’s quite refreshing to finally meet a top motoring journo that thinks otherwise. Justin Bell thinks the Huracan may well be the best raging bull ever built.

On this episode of the World’s Fastest Car Show Bell takes an orange Lamborghini Huracan to the Thermal Club in Palm Springs which is one of the most glamorous private racing facilities in the world. Sometimes this job can be very good, you know.
