Audi bought Ducati for €860 Million
We are not going to go into the details of this acquisition as Reuters and Bloomberg but we’re going to say it after all: Audi bought Ducati for €860 million ($1.128 billion, US that is). Long story short, it looks like the Investindustrial snatched Ducati in front of the Volkswagen Group/Audi sometime ago, and it’s selling it now for profit. Volkswagen Group/Audi is buying it because they want to have a motorcycle brand under their wing. And Ducati is a nice motorcycle brand to have. Just for the records, Volkswagen Group bought Lamborghini from Italians some 14 years ago, and turned it into a luxury powerhouse that it is today. If we have a 1199 Panigale today, what will we have 14 years from now?!?
