Details of the proposal are here. In somewhat unexpected news earlier this week, the Volkswagen Group received a $9.19 billion offer to buy Lamborghini from Swiss holding company Quantum Group AG. The German automaker quickly turned down the offer by making it very clear Lamborghini was not for sale.
