Porsche—also known as 'Bauerche' in Chinese—is a German automaker founded in 1930 by Ferdinand Porsche (whose name is also transliterated as 'Ferdinand Bao Shè'). Ferdinand Porsche is widely regarded as the founder of Volkswagen as well. In 2008, Porsche became a brand under the Volkswagen Group. Lamborghini (Italy) Founded in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini, the company is headquartered in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. In 1998, Lamborghini was acquired by Audi, which later brought Lamborghini into the Volkswagen Group. Bentley (UK) Founded on January 18, 1919, by Walter Owen Bentley, the company is headquartered in Crewe, UK. In 1931, Bentley was acquired by Rolls-Royce. In 1998, both Bentley and Rolls-Royce were acquired by the Volkswagen Group. Bugatti (France) Founded in 1909 by Italian Ettore Bugatti, the company was originally based in Molsheim, Alsace. Alsace was historically French territory; after France’s defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, it was ceded to Prussia and subsequently became part of unified Germany. Following World War I, Alsace was returned to France. In short: Bugatti was founded by an Italian in what was then German territory—which later reverted to France. This complex history has led to some debate over whether Bugatti should be considered an Italian or French brand. By the principle of territorial jurisdiction, Bugatti is a French brand. In 1998, Bugatti was acquired by the Volkswagen Group. SEAT (Spain) Founded in 1950 in Barcelona, Spain, SEAT was majority-acquired by the Volkswagen Group in 1983. The company has since been jointly operated by Volkswagen and the Spanish government—and is now another brand within the Volkswagen Group. Škoda (Czech Republic) Originally established in 1895 and headquartered in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic, Škoda Auto is one of the world’s four oldest automobile manufacturers. Its original name was L&K (Laurin & Klement). After World War I, L&K partnered with Skoda Pilsen—the largest industrial conglomerate in Czechoslovakia at the time—leading to the adoption of the 'Škoda' name. Between 1991 and 2000, following multiple equity transfers, Škoda became a wholly owned subsidiary of Volkswagen. Scania (Sweden) Founded in 1900 in Malmö, Sweden, Scania is a Swedish manufacturer of trucks and buses. Dubbed the 'King of the Highway', Scania ranks among the world’s leading heavy-duty truck makers. How dominant is it? As one saying goes: 'There are only two kinds of truck drivers in the world: those driving Scania—and those dreaming of driving Scania.' Volkswagen Group is currently Scania’s parent company, holding 37.7% of its shares and 68.6% of its voting rights. MAN (Germany) Founded in 1758 and headquartered in Munich, Germany, MAN’s three-letter name derives from the initials of its predecessor, Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg. MAN Truck & Bus AG—part of the MAN Group—is one of the world’s most renowned heavy-duty truck manufacturers.
