Volkswagen unit Porsche is participating in a financing round of Rimac Automobili that will see the electric supercar maker raise 130 million-150 million euros ($157 million-$181 million), its owner Mate Rimac told weekly Automobilwoche.

The fundraising should be completed in two to three months and another round is planned at the end of the year, Rimac told the trade journal.

Porsche owns a 15.5% stake in Rimac Automobili and could raise its stake to just below 50% in a deal that would also include the transfer of Volkswagen’s supercar brand Bugatti to Rimac, Automobilwoche said.Porsche Chief Executive Oliver Blume said earlier this month that intense discussions on Bugatti’s future were ongoing and that Rimac could play a role as the brands were a good technological fit, adding that a decision was expected in the first half of 2021.

Rimac has developed an electric supercar platform, which it supplies to other carmakers, including Automobili Pininfarina. “Supercars have a limited market, the market for components is much bigger. That is why we are planning to expand our company,” Rimac told Automobilwoche. That includes plans to more than double Rimac Automobili’s workforce by early 2023 to 2,500 from 1,000 currently, he said.

Most Toyotas Will Still Use Gasoline in 2030, Company SaysToyota says most of its U.S. vehicles will still run on gasoline in a decade because it doesn’t think fully electric vehicles will have caught up in cost and convenience If the current administration doesn’t like what it reads here, they can just add in a free EV for every American in their next multi-trillion package they foist on an unsuspecting public. Hybrid is a good temp solution. The same people dumping on Toyota for saying this are the same people who wouldn't know what to do, or how to act, when the power grid goes out and we go back to the stone age. It's like climbing a mountain without looking down at your footing and keeping your eyes on the summit.
