[Greisen]

Through the wonders of the search function I came across this little gem.

 

[Greisen]

But it just seems weird as VW is in GT5 and porsche is owned by them :/

 

[MitchZ06]

VW don't control the rights to the Porsche name and IP, Porsche does. Don't get confused about that...

No it doesn't, Porsche actually owns 30% of VW's shares...

I think you've got it backwards. VW owns controlling shares of Porshe, Audi, and Lamborghini, possibly a couple more if I remember right.

Yep, VW subsidiaries are Audi, Skoda, Seat, Bentley, Lamborghini and Bugatti.
VW also owns controlling shares of Porsche (50%) and Suzuki (20'%).

Porsche Rep: "So will there be a race mod or even race version of the 911?"
Kaz: "We were only planning on putting in the Cayenne."
Porsche Rep: *Gets EA/SMS on the phone immediately*.

What?

 

[RogueMember2]

I was saying Porsche doesn't want to look bad being beat by their competitors Eh

 

[Aaronrray]

It seems as if EVERY OTHER RACING GAME has porsches!

 

[Spagetti69]

Maybe they wouldn't want to risk the models being recycled in 10 years time and therefor look not there best.

I know that's not really the reason but manufacturers who are fussy should really safe guard against this recent trend.

Also surprised this thread is open.

Maybe it's Famines bath night.

Only joking officer Famine.

The fact is that Porsche made a pretty big mistake by signing an EXCLUSIVE contract with Electronic Arts. EA has the choice to give out licenses to others. For example, Turn 10.
