Porsche AG is demanding €200 million ($236 million) in damages from Audi AG stemming from Audi-supplied V-6 diesels that were rigged to evade emission laws, according to Bild. Both carmakers are owned by Volkswagen Group.
The German newspaper, which doesn’t name its source, says Porsche wants Audi to pay its legal fees, the cost of repairing the affected engines and related customer remediation.
Audi admitted in 2015 that it equipped 80,000 of its 3.0-liter diesels in the U.S. with a secret emission shutoff system deemed illegal in the U.S. The engines were used in Audi, Porsche and VW cars and crossover vehicles.
