Porsche exits Bugatti Rimac in major stake sale
Porsche has announced the sale of its stakes in sports car maker Bugatti Rimac to a consortium led by a US fund founded by the Egyptian billionaire Sawiris family, News.Az reports, citing AFP.
The value of the transaction has not been disclosed and still requires regulatory approval.
The move comes after Porsche warned it would face a challenging year due to competitive pressures and US tariffs introduced under President Donald Trump.
Under the agreement, Porsche will sell its entire 45% stake in Bugatti Rimac, a joint venture formed in 2021 with Croatian supercar manufacturer Rimac, which holds the remaining 55%.
