The Porsche Taycan, Audi e-tron, and Volkswagen ID.4 are solely the start of what is extensively anticipated to be an all-electric future. Porsche is required to assist fund that. Plus, it is an R&D powerhouse, although not fairly on the degree of Audi. “For my part, evaluating the Group components individually doesn’t match right into a time when our transformation to e-mobility will convey huge synergies throughout all firm divisions,” Diess continued. These hoping to purchase Porsche shares appear to be out of luck, for now.

Porsche not too long ago expanded its stake to 24 % in Croatian electrical hypercar and R&D firm Rimac, and sources have hinted this partnership may quickly embrace Bugatti as nicely. Incorporating Rimac tech into the VW Group with Porsche on the helm could possibly be a much better long-term enterprise determination than taking Porsche public.
