Overview
- Rimac confirmed he is negotiating to buy Porsche’s 45 percent holding in the Bugatti‑Rimac joint venture.
- A preliminary offer made earlier this year valued the stake at about €1 billion, according to recent reports.
- He is targeting completion by 2026, which would end Volkswagen Group’s ownership connection to Bugatti for the first time since 1998.
- Carscoops reports Rimac plans to finance the purchase with backing from an international investor group and private equity funds.
- Porsche has faced weaker sales and scaled back some EV plans this year, creating a market backdrop that could shape the talks.
