Rimac Moves to Buy Porsche’s 45% Stake in Bugatti‑Rimac

Mate Rimac says talks are underway to gain sole control for faster long‑term decision‑making.

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.
