Porsche has decided to take a significant strategic step by selling its stake in two of the most exclusive names in the automotive industry: Bugatti and Rimac. This operation comes at a time of strong financial pressure on the German brand.
Total exit from the Bugatti Rimac partnership
Porsche will divest:
- 45% of its stake in Bugatti Rimac
- 20.6% in Rimac Group
The assets will be acquired by a consortium led by the American fund HOF Capital, linked to the family of Egyptian businessman Sawiris.
Rimac strengthens control
With this operation, Rimac Group is expected to take full control of Bugatti Rimac, consolidating its position in the hypercar segment and high-performance electric mobility.
Strategy: cut costs and free up capital
The decision is directly linked to Porsche’s recent financial situation.
The brand recorded:
- margin drop to 1.1% in 2025
- sharp decline in operating profits
- negative impact of tariffs in the US
- collapse of demand in China
In this context, the new leadership chooses to concentrate resources on the core business.
End of an ambitious partnership
The Bugatti Rimac joint venture was created in 2021 with a clear goal:
- to combine Bugatti’s know-how in hypercars
- with Rimac’s electric technology
The partnership was seen as an important step in the transition to electrification in the most exclusive segment of the market.
New investor enters the scene
The buying consortium also includes BlueFive Capital, which manages about 15 billion dollars in assets and operates in areas such as private equity, infrastructure, and real estate.
Values not disclosed, but valuable assets
Although the transaction value has not been disclosed, previous estimates indicate:
- Rimac with a valuation exceeding 2 billion euros
- Bugatti Rimac above 1 billion dollars
Porsche redefines priorities
The exit from this partnership shows a clear shift in focus for Porsche:
- less investment in external projects
- greater concentration on core business
- need to strengthen profitability
A move with impact at the top of the industry
This decision could alter the balance in the hypercar segment, with Rimac taking on an even more central role in the development of high-performance electrified vehicles.
