German automaker Volkswagen A.G.'s brand Porsche Automobil Holding S.E. is seeking $234 million in damage from counterpart Audi A.G. over costs related to manipulated diesel engines, Reuters reported citing Bild. Audi admitted in November 2015 that its diesel engines used in about 80,000 VW, Audi and Porsche models were fitted with an auxiliary device which is deemed illegal in the United States. Germany ordered a recall of Porsche's Cayenne sport-utility vehicle previously, and prohibited registrations of the model's diesel version. Porsche is seeking compensation from Audi for the costs of the retrofits, legal counselling and customer measures.
