Audi is considering the purchase of the famous Italian motoproizvoditelya Ducati. This information was leaked by sources close to company management. We are talking about buying the brand and settlement of its debt, which amounts to 800 million euros. In this case, the cost is estimated at Ducati 50 million euros.

To purchase motobrenda Germans have a very good reason. In recent years, many automakers are expanding their business through a two-wheeled vehicles, and one of the main rivals Audi, the company BMW, manufactures motorcycles c 1920s. Another incentive could be that Audi owns a long-forgotten motobrend NSU, who, after buying Ducati can experience a rebirth.

According to sources, the Audi company does not stop even the fact that Ducati is actively cooperating with another competitor, the company Mercedes-Benz, more precisely, a division of AMG.

While the top leadership of Volkswagen declined to comment on this issue. However, we know that the Germans had long been thinking about expanding the assets at the expense of the legendary two-wheeled name.
