As Green Hell aficionados among you have noticed, placing "Lamborghini Huracan" and "Nurburgring" into the same sentence didn't lead to any results. Well, all that has changed, with the V10 Bull having delivered a 7:28 Ring time.
The Sant'Agata Bolognese machine was manhandled by sport auto's Christian Gebhardt, with the footage of the full lap sitting at the bottom of the page - we'll remind you we're talking about a German publication whose lap times are used as reference points.
And while the tester behind the wheel obviously won't push the car 100 percent as far as factory drivers, this isn't the factor that prevented the Huracan from achieving its maximum Nordschleife potential.
Instead, the mag explains, the factory calibration of the ABS didn't seem to go very well with the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R rubber on the car. We have to explain that, while the standard tires of the supercar are Pirelli P Zeros, the semi-slick Trofeo Rs are optional.
Given the kind of challenges the 12.9-mile (21.8 km) circuit throws at a machine, it's difficult to evaluate how much stopwatch damage has been done due to the rubber-ABS issue.
If we are to get into a comparo mood, the 7:28 time of the Lambo is identical to that of the 500 hp BMW M4 GTS. It also matches sport auto's McLaren MP4-12C Ring time, but we'll remind you that Mclaren has come a long way since the early cars, so the odd-named Woking machine would be more suitable for a comparison involving the 7:38 Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera. But that's another story for another time.
Perhaps Porsche fans, who were waiting for a time allowing a proper fight with the 911, are those who will find the tire fault the most disappointing. For the record, while the 991.1 GT3 RS needs 7:20 to go round the Nurburgring, the 991.2 Turbo S can handle the velocity chore in 7:18.
We've given you all these numbers to reinforce the conclusion that there's certainly extra performance in the Huracan, waiting to be squeezed in the name of bragging rights.
