\"\"Cue Ennio Morricone and the symphonic accompaniment to the endgame: VW has officially taken a 49.9% stake in Porsche<\/a>. VW<\/a> paid €3.9 billion ($5.75B U.S.) for its cut, “based on the enterprise value for Porsche<\/a> AG calculated under a careful due diligence and valuation procedure.” That’s a few shades more than the €3.3 billion amount VW was saying it would pay a few months ago.<\/p>\n

In acquiring Porsche, VW not only gains a premium brand that is still among the most profitable in the business, but VW expects its operating profit to jump by €700 million ($1.03B U.S.) over time due to cost-saving synergies. The purchase won’t be finalized until 2011, though, when VW will incorporate Porsche Holding Salzburg, Europe’s largest car dealer which also happens to be owned by Porsche.<\/p>\n

You can read VW’s press release – which has an air of something from Napoleon’s PR department after the Battle of Austerlitz – after the jump. <\/p>\n
