Florida man who lost his Aventador Ultimae when ship carrying 4,000 supercars sank was blown away by Lamborghini's response to the disaster

When this Florida man lost his Aventador Ultimae on a sinking ship, he was left devastated – but Lamborghini’s response blew him away.

You might recall the story of the ill-fated Felicity Ace, which caught fire and sank beneath the waves near Portugal.

Onboard was 4,000 supercars, including Porsches, Bentleys, Audis, and VWs.

Also included were Lamborghini Aventador Ultimaes, which didn’t make it across the Atlantic – here’s what happened next.

This man was stunned by Lamborghini’s response to his Aventador Ultimae sinking

Among those iconic cars that sank on the Felicity Ace were 15 Lamborghini Aventador Ultimaes.

In the wake of all the media coverage, $400 million in supercars was left sitting at the bottom of the ocean.

Not an ideal situation for anyone involved.

Lamborghini have spent a whole lot of money, as did their waiting customers in the US.

Bugatti responded to the disaster in a commendable way, but what was Lamborghini’s response?

One Aventador customer spoke out about his experience.

YouTuber Exotic Car Hacks had not one, not two, but three cars onboard the Felicity Ace.

In addition to his Aventador Ultimae, he had two GT3 cars.

So you can only imagine how he must have felt when he saw the news.

Fortunately, Lamborghini responded in a way to made a far-from-desirable situation easier.

“Lucky for me, Lamborghini was very kind and decided to remake me a car even though they had already shut down the plant,” he said.

“This incident forced them to basically reopen the plant.”

What did remaking the car mean for the manufacturer?

The decision to rebuild each and every Aventador onboard the Felicity Ace came from the top – Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann himself.

But it wasn’t just Aventadors that were included in the restoration effort.

Cars like the Huracán and the Urus were also redone for the benefit of customers who would have otherwise missed out.

Getting all of this done was no small feat, as you might expect.

In the middle of a busy period, space had to be made in the factory and the whole production line had to be reorganized.

This was a big task, but Lamborghini rose to the occasion.

In the end, every customer received the car they’d paid money for and waited upon.

Unfortunately, this hasn’t been the last case we’ve seen of a ship sinking with thousands onboard.

You may recall the case of the Morning Midas ship, which sank with 3,000 cars in tow.

That happened last year, as it was travelling from China to Mexico.
