Which German auto group owns Lamborghini through Audi?

The Volkswagen Group owns Lamborghini through its subsidiary Audi.

Lamborghini began as an independent Italian sports-car maker founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini in 1963 at Sant’Agata Bolognese. After financial trouble and several ownership changes, the company became part of the Volkswagen Group in 1998, when Audi acquired it for the group.

That corporate structure explains the wording of the question. Audi is Lamborghini’s direct parent company, while Volkswagen Group is the larger German automotive group above Audi. Porsche SE is a separate holding company associated with the Porsche and Piëch families, not Lamborghini’s operating parent; Mercedes-Benz Group and BMW Group are rival manufacturers.

Lamborghini retains its own identity, headquarters, design language and model range. Nevertheless, its place within the Audi and Volkswagen family has enabled technical, engineering and financial cooperation while preserving the marque’s Italian character.
