Unfortunately for Spongebob, there’s an entire continent between Bikini Bottom and where the Felicity Ace is now at the bottom. The freighter full of cars belonging to the Volkswagen Group sank in the Atlantic Ocean, and the place where Mermaidman maintains is in the Pacific Ocean. And then there are those who claim that TopGear is never informative. Anyway, there is good news for the customers of the very last copies of the Lamborghini Aventador.
On board the sunken Felicity Ace were about 4,000 cars from Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini and Volkswagen. Part of the cargo was a group of fifteen Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae’s. The special version was the last of the Aventador and production had already stopped recently. Restarting production is a big job, especially because the suppliers also have to start supplying again.
Production Aventador Ultimae successfully started
“We are working to prioritize production capacity to ensure that the cars ordered are replaced as soon as possible,” a Lamborghini spokesperson said. Car & Driver† ‘We will try to minimize the impact on customers as much as possible. With great effort, we managed to restore Aventador Ultimae’s supply chain to replace the missing cars.”
Porsche also replaced models that were already out of production
Porsche did the same before when a shipment of 911 GT2 RS’s got a seaman’s grave. Production was restarted and after a delay the Porsche customers received their Elfje. At the time, it concerned the ship Grande America, which sank in the Atlantic Ocean. If you have the idea that sinking car ships are a regular thing, then you are right. On Wikipedia you will find a list of car freighter accidents†
In total there were 85 Lamborghinis on the Felicity Ace. The remaining 70 Lambos are being re-manufactured and delivered to customers with delays. Bentley lost 189 cars on the ship, but already supplied half of its customers with unsold models. You don’t have to worry about the Volkswagens and Audis, production is undoubtedly on its way again.
This is what will happen to the sunken ship and all the cars
Small spoiler: nothing at all
