When other automakers start increasing their stock in another company, you have to just await what will happen next. Buyouts aren’t far-off when these kinds of reports go around.

Porsche has recently increased their stake in Volkswagen from 31% to 35%. The move made Volkswagen a subsidiary of Porsche Automobil Holding. What’s even more interesting is that later this year, Porsche will be raising its stakes to more than 50%.

With that move, Porsche will then have absolute majority over Volkswagen and that is quite interesting. Volkswagen with a new major stakeholder would mean a lot of possibilities of the motoring world. These are Germans we’re talking about and engineering-wise, a Porsche-controlled VW might mean a lot of interesting stuff.
