Porsche's holding of VW stock is the driving force behind the massive profit figure, however, and Porsche has recently announced plans to acquire even more. The wisdom of the business decision from Porsche's standpoint is difficult to deny, though many enthusiasts are worried about the impact the purchase may have on VW Group subsidiary lineups, like those of Audi or even Lamborghini itself.
