What car companies does Porsche own?

Porsche doesn't technically "own" any other car companies in the traditional sense of holding a controlling stake. However, it does have significant ownership interests in several companies, including:

* Volkswagen Group: This is the most significant connection. Porsche AG owns a controlling 53.3% stake in Volkswagen AG, making it the largest shareholder. Through this ownership, Porsche has indirect influence over numerous other brands within the Volkswagen Group, including Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, SEAT, Skoda, and others.

* Ducati: Porsche owns 100% of the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, which it acquired in 2012.

* Piech Holding: Porsche is a major shareholder in Piech Holding, a family-owned investment company that holds stakes in Volkswagen and other companies.

While Porsche doesn't directly own other major car companies in the same way it owns Ducati, its significant shareholding in Volkswagen gives it a significant influence on the entire Volkswagen Group and its diverse portfolio of brands.
