The offer has been increased.
It was revealed last week that a Swiss holding company called Quantum Group AG offered to buy Lamborghini from the Volkswagen Group, where it s officially controlled by Audi, for over $9.1 billion. The German automaker immediately rejected the offer, stating the Italian supercar company was not for sale despite rumors to the contrary last year. Within just a couple of days of VW s announcement, the Quantum Group s two founding partners, Rei Stark and Toni Piech, the great-grandson of Ferdinand Porsche and son of former VW Chairman Ferdinand Piech, reiterated their offer is serious want to proceed. Again, VW turned them down. They re not giving up.
