The luxury sports car manufacturer Bugatti is the finest brand in the VW empire.
But the question marks about the future of the French in the VW Group are growing.
Wolfsburg / Molsheim - The luxury to
Bugatti: hyper sports car, individuality, exclusivity, ultra luxury.
Bugatti is a lot, but these cars are probably not off the shelf.
Only a few enjoy such a car and such an acquisition is significant, if only for the money.
At Bugatti, customer wishes are taken into account in the configuration, and one car is almost never the same as another.
Electronic hypercars - that could be the future of Bugatti
The luxury brand Bugatti has been part of Volkswagen * since 1998.
Now VW should apparently want to part with Bugatti and look for a new home for the exclusive models.
The Croatian automobile manufacturer Rimac appears again and again in the talks.
The Rimac company has only been around since 2009, making it a relatively young brand on the automotive market.
Nevertheless, it is known for its powerful electric motors and its future-oriented production.
According to businessinsider.de, this is the reason why Porsche not only has a stake in Rimac, but also wants to expand it.
The Croatian automotive company's expertise in electronic mobility will play an important role in the future auto market.
Oliver Blume announces a timely decision by the VW Group
Oliver Blume, CEO of Porsche *, told Automobilwoche “that the issue will be decided in the group in the first half of the year.” He also said that with regard to the future of the Bugatti brand, “Rimac could also play a role because the two brands are technologically good match."
Should Bugatti move to Croatia in the future and become part of Rimac production, extravagance, luxury and sport could be combined with electronic know-how and super-class electronic hypercars populate the market.
Who will ultimately benefit from these companions is a different matter.
Electronic mobility
Volkswagen AG and other market participants are not investing in electronic mobility for nothing.
Electric cars may not be on everyone's lips, but they are on many lips and their relevance to climate-friendly driving is well received.
According to presseportal.de, more and more people are considering switching to e-mobility.
Electromobility * could enable a climate-friendly form of transport on the basis of renewable energies and stimulate the turnaround in traffic.
