After Toyota from Japan, Volkswagen is the top-selling car manufacturer in the world.

The Wolfsburg-based company delivered around 8.9 million vehicles in 2021, under very different brands, including: Volkswagen, Skoda, Audi, Bentley, Cupra - and of course Porsche.

Porsche in particular has increasingly developed into a showpiece in recent years: technologically, but also in terms of returns.

At the end of February, the fundamental decision was made, the initiation of which manager magazin had already reported on in 2021: Porsche should be separated and listed on the stock exchange.
