Porsche SE was created in June 2007 by renaming the old Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, and became a holding company for the families' stake in Porsche Zwischenholding GmbH (50.1%) (which in turn held 100% of the old Porsche AG) and Volkswagen AG (50.7%). [22] [23]  At the same time, the new Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG ( Porsche AG ) was created for the car manufacturing business. In August 2009, Porsche SE and  Volkswagen AG  reached an agreement that the car manufacturing operations of the two companies would merge in 2011, to form an "Integrated Automotive Group".

By 1980, Group Lotus was in serious financial trouble. Production had dropped from 1,200 units per year to a mere 383. The combined reasons were that the world was in the middle of an economic  recession , sales in the key United States market had virtually collapsed and there had been limited development of the then model range. [9] In early 1982, Chapman came to an agreement with  Toyota  to exchange intellectual property and applied expertise. This initially resulted in Lotus Engineering helping to develop the Mk2  Toyota Supra , also known as the  Toyota Celica XX . Secondly, it allowed Lotus to launch the new  Lotus Excel  to replace the ageing  Lotus Eclat . Using drivetrain and other components from Toyota enabled Lotus to sell the Excel for £1,109 less than the outgoing Eclat.
