Porsche may own a lot of options on Volkswagen - around 20 percent of the larger carmaker’s shares - but the sports car maker is running out of alternatives to solve the financing problems it built up by acquiring a 51 percent stake in VW.
Despite a recent report of other investors being interested in relieving it of the options, Porsche insists that talks with Qatar remain exclusive.
It’s no wonder that others are tempted by what is clearly one of the world’s best recognised marques — but with net debt of 9 billion euros and a family feud to resolve, any involvement with Porsche is not for the faint-hearted.
Then again, with a top speed of 329 kilometres per hour for the Porsche 911 GT2, neither are its cars.
