Lamborghini Huracan, Jaguar XJ R Crash on Day 2 of Goodwood FoS 2015

With all the insanely fast and powerful speed machines racing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, it's only natural that somebody has to crash. For 2015, we already have a few events, a Mazda 767B Wankel-powered race car from yesterday and this Lamborghini Huracan GT3 on Day 2 of the biggest car even in Britain.

The first crash we are showing you is of a Huracan Super Trofeo, a specially designed racing version of the new Lamborghini supercar that packs 620 horsepower of V10 magic. The drive overcooks it in Molecomb corner and crashes through 1, 2, 3 sets of hay bales.

Last year, cyclist Chris Hoy crashed a brand new Nissan GT-R Nismo at the same corner. And during the 2013 Festival of Speed, the Italdesign Giugiaro Parcour concept also crashed at Molecomb.

Speaking of crashing brand new cars, Jaguar also had an unfortunate spill with the XJ R facelift that they revealed only a few days ago. The famous RAF jet pilot and Bloodhound SSC driver Andy Green was behind the wheel of this 550 horsepower super-saloon when it took a huge bit out of the barriers. Looks like flying the Eurofighter Typhoon doesn't qualify you to race at Goodwood!

In ant case, make sure to watch the videos and share them with your friends. The Goodwood organizers don't like crash videos on Youtube, so these will be these down soon.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
