What started off as a possibility is now a certainty. Lamborghini will indeed restart production of the Aventador to replace the 15 examples of the Ultimae that perished on the Felicity Ace. The cargo ship initially caught fire before ending up on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. It took along with it close to 4,000 high-end vehicles from the Volkswagen Group. Lamborghini had no fewer than 85 cars, most of which were the Urus SUV.
In a media roundtable with US and UK journalists, CEO Stephan Winkelmann confirmed the V12 supercar will re-enter production. The head honcho admitted it'll be "tricky" to replace the ill-fated Aventador Ultimae units that were heading to buyers from the United States. The remaining 70 cars represent models currently in production, so it won't be much of a hassle for the Sant'Agata Bolognese company to fulfill those orders. Needless to say, customers now have to wait some more for their prized possessions.
