Along with the Saab saga, the story of VW's attempt to buy Porsche AG has been nothing short of a soap opera, with twists and turns at every juncture. After previous attempts by the Wolfsburg automaker to purchase the remaining shares in the smaller Stuttgart concern fell through, it now appears, the deal may be on again.
Both automakers have talked about consolidation for years, yet when former Porsche CEO Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking's attempt to buy a larger stake in VW fell through, the tables turned; thanks to German law that required Volkswagen to buy shares in Porsche instead.
However, despite VW currently owning more than 49 percent of Porsche and the two companies sharing an upper management structure, there's still little in the way of cohesiveness when it comes to operations, each firm doing its own thing when it relates to aspects such as R&D, engineering, manufacturing and sales and marketing. This is something that's proving particularly troublesome, especially for strategic projects, such as upcoming EV vehicles and new lightweight sports cars.
Now, it appears that greater integration between the two companies might finally become a reality this year, information leaked by sources at VW suggest that Porsche has put in an option to sell its remaining 50.1 percent of shares this November.
Wall Street traders holding hot commodities might yell "sell sell sell!" They want to shoo as much out the door while demand is hot because, as they know, the definition of "in demand" changes all to quickly, or does it? No doubt a fair number of those individuals finish their day by drawing a key from their coat pocket emblazoned with a Porsche coat of arms, proving that some commodities have staying power.
Some argue that Porsche's cars have barely changed from a styling perspective. Those changes are so minimal, they may say, that the product is old and stale. Opinions be damned, Porsche doesn't agree and released a video to massage their fans and thumb noses at critics all at once.
The video chronicles the company's history and how the new Carrera evolved into what it is today, making a point to be clear that their goal is to maintain a distinctly Porsche look while constantly improving the smallest details year over year. You can decide for yourself and watch the video below.
What do the Porsche Panamera and Nissan Juke have in common? Answer: the ability to love them only after you've driven them.
With styling that wouldn't sell were it not for that Porsche badge, the German sports car maker has put its notoriously uncreative design team to work searching for a way to "modernize" the luxury sports sedan. As these new spy photos reveal, the updates will include slight changes to the front and rear bumper, as well as new headlights and taillights.
It's not known if Porsche is planning any interior updates (one area the Panamera certainly doesn't need improvement), nor do we know if any engine tuning will be performed. More power isn't really necessary either, but it might help the Panamera more speedily escape from its former self.
Porsche is celebrating a milestone of reaching two million fans on its Facebook page by unveiling a customized Cayman S featuring red-tinted photos of all their Facebook fans.
The color scheme draws inspiration from the Porsche 917 K, the same vehicle that won the company's first overall Le Mans victory. The Cayman S will be on display at the Porsche Museum out in Stuttgart throughout this month, but if you aren't planning on making the journey over there, hit the source link and take a look at the car yourself. You can even search your name to find yourself or zoom in at all different angles of the Cayman to see who else's face adorn the custom Porsche.
