The
Volkswagen Group has been going on a bit of an Italian bender these past few years. It has bought
Lamborghini,
Bugatti (which it brought back from Italy to its historic home in Alsace), ItalDesign-Giugiaro, the Nardo test track in southern Italy (through its
Porsche division) and has had its eye on
Alfa Romeo for some time. But its most recently acquisition was Ducati. In the intricate web of corporate governance, Ducati officially belongs to
Audi, which has apparently celebrated with this special edition A1.
