The Lamborghini Aventador will be produced one more time

The fire, which recently destroyed 3,965 cars transported by the cargo ship Felicity Ace to the United States, caused major problems for carmakers whose models were on the ship. As we announced earlier, there were 1,100 Porsches, 189 Bentleys on board, but also an unknown number of Volkswagen, Audi and Lamborghini models.

The Lamborghini Aventador will be produced one more time

It is Lamborghini that has the biggest problem, as the ship was carrying the latest examples of the Aventador, which Lamborghini recently stopped producing. According to the latest information, there are great chances that the line will start again and produce an unknown number of Aventador.

Lamborghini CEO in America, Andrea Baldi, told Automotive News that he still does not know the consequences of the fire when it comes to Lamborghini. The company hopes that at least some Aventador models have survived, and that it is possible to restore them. If this is not the case, they will have to produce new ones.

“The car is sold out, but there is a possibility that out of 563 examples, some cancellation will enable the replacement of the Aventador, but I hope that at least some Aventadors on board remained safe. We will notify our clients as soon as we receive a complete picture of the damage. We hope for the best, and we are ready to face the worst, “Baldi said.

It is estimated that owners will have to wait at least six months for their Lamborghini Aventador cars.
