A cargo ship named The Felicity Ace has caught fire in the Atlantic Ocean near The Azores, an autonomous region of Portugal.
The good news is that the ship’s 22 crew members were all rescued by the Portuguese Navy and Air Force, but it’s the ship’s cargo that has Twitter users aghast — The Felicity Ace was transporting almost 4,000 vehicles (1,100 of them being Porsche) from the Volkswagen Group — this includes vehicles under the brands Audi, Bentley, and Lamborghini.
These cars were headed for Texas, and it has been confirmed that at least 100 of them are at risk of fire damage. Matt Farah from The Smoking Tire revealed that his custom $120,000 USD Boxster Spyder was aboard the ship.

The Boxster Spyder with Deman 4.5 motor and shorty gears is the best sports car of all time, hands down. I had it specced exactly as I wanted it. There is no moving on. https://t.co/egaYJV5VEC
