Cupra finally made it across the ocean, though in a form no one expected. The Spanish brand is unlikely to be pleased with this "promotional campaign."

It's been known for a while that Cupra intends to enter the American market. The company plans to offer its models in selected states. Although the exact debut date is unknown, Cupra has already made headlines. This is all due to a discovery in Florida.

A few days ago, the ocean washed ashore 55 mysterious packages adorned with the Cupra logo. It quickly turned out to be cocaine. The US Border Patrol valued the 68-pound load at about a million dollars.

Where the load came from or why it ended up on the ocean shore is unknown. What is certain, however, is that it was not sent from Martorell, and the Cupra logo is pure coincidence. Smugglers often use known trademarks to decorate drugs. This time, it just happened to be Cupra.
