Porsche sold Bugatti in an operation that raises questions about the management of the Volkswagen Group. The article suggests that this transaction is part of a pattern where the VW Group seems to lose while Porsche gains from the decisions made.
Bugatti was acquired by the Volkswagen Group in 1998, more than two decades ago. This luxury brand was under the control of the German automotive conglomerate, which held multiple brands in its portfolio.
Porsche, which sells less than 300,000 cars per year, emerges as the entity that ended up with Bugatti in this transaction. The German sports car manufacturer appears to benefit once again from an operation involving the Volkswagen Group.
The article uses the word "magic" ironically to describe this management, suggesting there is a questionable pattern in the financial decisions between the different entities of the group.
