The Grande America, as the wrecked ship was called, was on its way from Hamburg to the port city of Santos in Brazil, where the cars were supposed to be delivered to the waiting customers.

in Particular, the loss of the four Porsche 911 GT2 RS-models, which were on the way to a handful of wealthy brazilian customers, has been hard to swallow. Porsche stopped, namely the production of the sports car in February of this year.

According to the bilnyhedssitet Carscoops should fabrikantenten now, however, have agreed to resume production. It appears by a letter, such as Porsche allegedly sent to the unfortunate buyers:

– Under normal circumstances, it would not be possible to give you a new car. But because of the unusual situation, and taken into consideration that you are a loyal and highly valued customer for our brand, Porsche has decided to resume production of the GT2 RS in Germany, and your car will be produced in april and delivered in June, according to Carscoops.

When Porsche unveiled the GT2 RS-the model in the summer of 2017, they said that only 1000 copies would be built. Within a few weeks they were all sold.
