A recent report from The Financial Times indicates that Volkswagen's current financial situation is dire. So dire, in fact, that the report goes on to state that the German giant may be incentivized to sell off a number of its more profitable nameplates, including that of Ducati.
The news comes on the heels of the brand's sell-off of its marine engine brand, Everllence, for €10 billion, as well as CEO Oliver Blume stating he plans on cutting 100,000 of his combined 625,000 employees across the company. Yet, it's the relative success of the sale of Everllence, as well as its sale of Bugatti, not the mass layoffs intended, which could spur the possible sale of the brand from Borgo Panigale.
