This car speeding like an airplane Is called Bugatti Veyron And this car was running at a speed of nearly 380 KMPH, in this video How difficult it could be to make a production car super fast? This could be estimated by the fact that No car manufacturer has been able to break the top speed record of the Bugatti Veyron to date Because the record made by Bugatti in the year 2005 Is still kept with Chiron With a top speed of 489 KMPH Yes, you heard it right But, isn't this video about Volkswagen? Then, Why are we
talking about Bugatti here? Actually, we are doing so because Bugatti would have vanished, If it was not bought by the Volkswagen Group And Volkswagen had not provided Bugatti, the World's fastest W16 Engine Because at that time as well The technology available with Volkswagen, Was not present with any other brand Which can develop such an engine And Volkswagen was able to do so because Volkswagen is a dinosaur In front of elephants The world has many huge auto companies The Groups which own multiple brands For example TATA Group, TATA Motors, Jaguar, and Land Rover come under this
group Or BMW Under which Mini, Rolls-Royce, and BMW Motorrad comes and their main car brand as well The biggest reason behind calling the Volkswagen Group a dinosaur The Volkswagen group does not only have only 2-3 other brands under it like TATA MOTORS and BMW 12 big brands come under the Volkswagen Group These brands are not like the companies under the Stellantis Whose majority of the big brands are in debt And some other brands under Stellantis are never heard of Every brand under the Volkswagen Group is a segment leader May it be Audi Which is a
member of the German Trio Audi is always ranked at the 2nd or 3rd rank in terms of selling luxury cars Or may it be Lamborghini or Porsche Which are considered to be the world's biggest sports car Manufacturers Or may it be Skoda or Seat Which have captured the majority of the European Markets Or may it be brands like Man, Scania, and Ducati The Volkswagen Group has every such brand Which is highly profitable for the Volkswagen Group And that's why, In terms of Revenue The Volkswagen Group is even ahead of the Toyota Apart from huge profitability,
Due to having many big brands Volkswagen Group has the advantage of part sharing For example the engines of Audi, Are being used in the cars of Volkswagen and Lamborghini Which increases the profit margins of these brands All these things Will be discussed in a lot of detail further in the video But the reason behind making this video Which is not answered in any YouTube Video And that is, Why has the Volkswagen Group acquired so many brands? And how it was able to do so? Actually, To understand all about this We must listen to a fascinating
story Due to this, In a tail of events, The Volkswagen Group can grow to such a great height And this story starts, Immediately after the completion of World War 1 The Volkswagen Group started with the manufacturing of a low-cost car Which can be afforded by any ordinary German Citizen Because till the early 1930s, Rich people can only afford a Car in Germany And that's why, The name of the company was Volkswagen Which means People's Car And that's why, The Transport Ministry of Germany asked all the carmakers Yo submit a design of an Affordable, Reliable, and
practical car model And in the year 1934, Ferdinand Porsche submitted a design for his car Yes, the same Porsche Adolf Hitler selected the design of this car And then, the prototypes of this car were also selected Yes, Adolf Hitler who killed 69 Lakh Zews In the gas chamber And then burned the dead bodies in furnaces In the year 1938, The production of this car was started in a factory in the german city of Wolfsburg But in the year 1939, World War II began And manufacturing of the cars was stopped So that military equipment can be
manufactured In the same factory But till the year 1945, The year in which World War II ended Till then, a lot of damage was also caused to the factory of the Volkswagen due to the bombing And that place was now unsuitable for the manufacturing of cars At that time the economic conditions of Germany were very poor And at many places, people died due to starvation And every middle-class citizen of Germany was in search of a job But the fortunes of Germany were great Because around that time, A British Army Officer, Ivan Hirst Took over control
of the bombed factories of Volkswagen And started the production of Beetal cars for the British Army Then, in the year 1947, The company started producing Beetal Car for civilians as well This Beetal car, Was an outstanding car According to the era of that time, This car become famous around the whole world due to its reliability and affordability And things started changing from here\ If you are loving watching this video till now, Then, I want to say something related to this video and other videos And that is, Many of you like these videos And simultaneously you

click on the link mentioned in the description And start learning During the early 1960s, Beetal cars became so popular that, Its waiting period reached 12-18 months And gradually, In the year 1965, The sales of Beetal cars crossed 1 Million Units And Beetal car was contributing more than 75% to the Volkswagen Group In terms of sales During the early 1960s, On one side, Beetal car was observing huge success On the other side, the Volkswagen Group, Was facing stiff competition with other big auto manufacturers in terms of bigger car segments Opel and Ford launched their cars with
1.5 Litre engines in Europe Which was in direct competition with the compact sedan VW 1500 manufactured by the Volkswagen Group Actually, the majority of the sales of the Volkswagen Group was contributed by beetle And its production diversification was continuously failing Apart from this, the Volkswagen Group To improve its product competitiveness wanted vehicles having a capacity of less than 2-liter And that's why in the year 1965, The Volkswagen Group acquired 75.3% stakes in Audi At that time, the capacity of the plants of the Volkswagen Group was limited But after the acquisition of Audi, Volkswagen Group get
the plant of Audi having a capacity of 1,00,000 cars annually And due to this, the highly skilled workforce Also came under the Volkswagen Group And after the acquisition of Audi The Volkswagen Group availed the benefit of a new engine range And at that time, The 1.7 liters engine of the Audi Was looked at as a technological innovation Which provided a competitive edge to the Volkswagen Group in front of the Ford Vehicles The next big acquisition of Volkswagen Group after Audi Was the Spanish car manufacturing brand, Seat This was Volkswagen's first international acquisition Which made Volkswagen
a global auto-car-making company In September 1982, Volkswagen signed a cooperation agreement with seat And with a strategic point of view This acquisition was helping Volkswagen group to expand in the western European market very quickly Because Spain was going to become a member of the European Union in the year 1982, And after this, the competition was going to get stiffer Apart from this, This cooperation would have made Volkswagen the biggest auto manufacturer in Spain Because due to this acquisition, Volkswagen Group was going to get more than 1000 authorized dealers This cooperation was going to help Volkswagen
in acquiring production facilities with relatively low labor costs Such types of people were working in these factories Having an experience of more than 30 years And these people were highly qualified Now, After Audi and Seat And 4th big acquisition done by the Volkswagen Group Was of the Czech Auto manufacturing company, Skoda Skoda was a state-owned company In eastern Bloc countries like Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania Skoda had a good brand value in these countries Apart from this, the cars Manufacturered by this brand Were popular in many Western European Countries These three big acquisitions
done by the Volkswagen Group, Were related to the mass market These brands used to manufacture a high number of vehicles But after these mass-market brands Volkswagen acquired 3 big luxury car makers together First of all, On 3 July 1998, Volkswagen Group acquired the British luxury car brand, Bentley And with this, Volkswagen entered the super luxury car market After this, on 10th July 1998, Volkswagen acquired the Italian supercar maker Lamborghini And then, french auto maker Bugatti was the next acquisition Which was the third biggest acquisition done by Volkswagen In the luxury car segment The motive of
Volkswagen to acquire traditional luxury sports car brands like Bugatti was to strengthen its Technical expertise and innovation Apart from this, Together with Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Bentley Volkswagen was able to build a perfect luxury car segment Under its own umbrella And Volkswagen did not stop here Volkswagen Group acquired Scania and Man Which are big commercial vehicles manufacturers And the World's best superbike maker Ducati was also acquired by Volkswagen And apart from all these The biggest acquisition done by the Volkswagen Group, Was Porsche Volkswagen Group acquired 50% stakes in Porsche A very astonishing fact is also linked
with Porsche Because the members of Porshe are the biggest shareholders of the Volkswagen Group Actually, Porsche is a lot more than just a car manufacturing company And how Porsche acquired the majority of the stakes in Volkswagen And how Volkswagen acquired stakes in Porsche Telling about it can make the video a lot longer That's why A dedicated video is required to understand about this Till now, we have understood that The Volkswagen Group acquired so many brands So that They can expand worldwide With their vehicles A very big advantage is present with the Volkswagen group because of
having so many brands under it And that is sharing of parts From luxury car brands like Lamborghini and Bentley To economical car brands like Skoda and Seat Almost all the car brands under the Volkswagen Group Share the platforms of each other And almost all the platforms Have been developed by Volkswagen itself The platform used in Audi Q7 and Porsche Taycan Which is PL71 This platform is also used by Volkswagen Touareg And the J1 platform which is used by Porsche Taycan The same platform is also used in Audi Etron GT The concept of Sharing platforms Due
to this TATA MOTORS also, Is able to minimize the cost of their cars by keeping them under the same platform And have become successful in the market But this whole concept of developing different cars on the same platform was innovated by Volkswagon during the late 1990s Under Volkswagon, apart from the platform, Sharing of engines is also done In the base variant of Porshe Macan Crossover VW Audi source turbocharged 2-liter engine is used Volkswagon's TFSI Engine is used in Audi RS Q8, Porsche Panamera And Porsche Cayenne The second benefit of working under the same group is
that, Research and Development of many brands are done together Due to this, R&D is a lot better And costs are also minimized due to this For instance, if we take the example of the Volkswagen Audi V8 engine Which was developed by the Volkswagen Group together with Audi In the year 1988 And today, All the brands under the Volkswagen Group are using the same engine The upgraded versions of this engine In the year 2015, Audi and Lamborghini started a joint venture Under which engines were developed V6 and V89 Today, under the Volkswagen Group Skoda, Seat, and
Volkswagen Are the three-volume brands Which contributes 80% of the sales for the Volkswagen Group And due to the similarities between these three brands The Volkswagen Group has over-utilized the concept of part sharing For example Volkswagen Polo, Seat Ibiza And Skoda Fabia These three cars, Only had changes in the exteriors The interiors and engines of these cars were exactly the same Part Sharing does not only have advantages Part sharing has serious disadvantages also And the biggest problem of part sharing lies with the recalls When any issue is observed in any part of the car And if
that part was installed in millions of vehicles of multiple brands worldwide For Vehicle recall, refitting, and resupplying A brand has to spend a lot of money Because there are many such vehicles Whose issues are to be resolved Similar has happened to the Volkswagen Group In the year 2015, When due to the high Nitrogen Oxide emission by their diesel engines They have to recall all the sold vehicles You might be aware of the biggest scam done by the Volkswagen Group Under which the TDI engines of the Volkswagen Group Were also installed in Audi and Porsche Due
to this, cars of Audi were recalled And Porsche cars too Under this scandal, Volkswagen Group had to recall 11 Million vehicles from all around the world 11 Million equals 1 Crore 10 Lakh Because of having so many car brands Today Volkswagen is the biggest car manufacturing company in Europe And is ranked 2nd in the whole world after Toyota Because of having so many car brands Today, Volkswagen has become a very powerful company Not only in terms of sales and revenue But in innovation as well Because as we are well aware of the fact that The
W16 engine was provided to Bugatti by Volkswagen During the year 2004-05 The Research and Development of which was started a long ago I hope you would have loved watching this video If yes, please consider subscribing to this channel With the bell icon Don't forget to press the bell icon Like and share this video And do let me know your thoughts in the comment section Also, check out the link provided in the description If you are interested in the course
