The cargo ship Felicity Ace has sunk

Felicity Ace has sunk. This information was confirmed by MOL Ship Management spokesman Pat Adamson, who said that due to weather conditions, rough seas and high waves, the ship leaned to the side and sank in 9,840 feet (3,000 meters) deep sea.

It has long been believed that some cars survived the fire on a ship carrying 3,965 vehicles. Now every hope is lost. As a reminder, the ship carried 1,100 Porsches, 189 Bentleys, while the rest were Volkswagen, Audi and Lamborghini, including electric models. Among the cars was an unknown number of Lamborghini Aventador models, which Lamborghini recently stopped producing.

Recently, Lamborghini CEO in America Andrea Baldi said that 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. It is estimated that owners will have to wait at least six months for their Lamborghini Aventador cars.

Volkswagen and Porsche have not commented on the current situation.

The cause of the fire, which destroyed a cargo estimated at more than $ 400 million, is still unknown. It has been confirmed that the damage to the cars is covered by insurance.
