It was Porsche CFO that suggested this restructuring.

A new Company was incorporated to hold both Bugatti and Rimac.

Porsche holds 45% and Rimac Group (new Company) holds 55%.

Rimac Group comprises numerous shareholders (including Porsche and Mate Rimac).

No one, only 50 sold out of 150 planned. Even Mate Rimac also agrees that supercar buyers want analog. Most likely they did it as a tech tour-de-force showcase to propel the brand. Rimac Nevaras also depre like mad, over 50% depreciation in just 2 years. 

Guess who's going to buy the latest Maserati Folgore cars? nobody. 

 

Will wait and see the Folgore sentiments first

I thought this should be more common on our roads but it is still quite elusive.

Good, nice design, although I haven't driven one before to make any conclusions.

This is how it should be done 🤣

If you drive Urus, need to order it in bright sporty colour + single digit "1" plate.

 

Do not put it in boring black/brown paint and random assigned number plate!

Number not important.

Urus must have Akra exos.

Lambo must be loud

Number important. Don't dress it in nun clothes.

Akra? LTA approved or not? 🤣

There is a common theme amongst top end Alfa and most Maserati cars lately. They seemed like great cars and receive mostly rave reviews from the motoring press, but nobody buys them.

Motor reviewers play with the car for 1 day.  Buyers got to live with it!

I have a friend

he only buy new car and will change car before the warranty ends

he also clock very little mileage, change car before tyres wear out

if you ask him, he will say every car (including fiat, alfa, citroen, renault, jeep, ford) is reliable

This one is the Goods version. The passenger version is even rarer. It's a good car and iconic but I assume the high price point is the reason people choose other models. Nothing wrong with the vehicle, just Singapore prices. Very pretty and iconic though.

I feel like that is more of the low confidence in the reliability of the brand itself.

Having said that I recall someone in MCR daily driving it for 6 years? and it was okay.

The new VWs are very impressive.

Easily sitting next to or even above Skoda, and trailing very closely behind Audi.
