I don't pay much attention to super cars, the cars or the brands, but I was fascinated for a short term when Ferarri went public. I could imagine Lamborghini going public would have similar success though I also think that maybe VW would be smart to shutter Bugatti. Unlike Ferarri and Fiat, many people don't associate Lamborghini with VW and Bugatti even less so. Porsche seems like is just as recognizable as a brand and could easily use the engineers wisely.

As for Bentley, maybe some Chinese firm could pick them up. Same for Skoda. Though I don't know how comfortable VW as a company and Germany as a country would be to see their assets and technology going to Chinese firms.
