NEW YORK (AP) _ Automaking partners Renault SA and Nissan Motor Co. are interested in buying a significant stake in General Motors Corp. (NYSE:GM) and including the struggling automaker in their alliance, according to a letter sent Friday to GM from billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian's investment company.
Shares of GM jumped $3.22, or 11.7 per cent, to $30.66 in pre-market trading, having closed Thursday at $27.44 on the NYSE.
The letter from Kerkorian's investment company, Tracinda Corp., said it believes Renault and Nissan are receptive to the idea of including General Motors in their partnership and purchasing ``a significant minority interest'' in the Detroit automaker. Renault has a controlling stake in Nissan.
Tracinda, a large minority shareholder in GM, said the existing French-Japanese partnership has created ``tremendous engineering, manufacturing and marketing synergies, resulting in substantial benefits and cost savings to both Renault and Nissan.''
Tracinda urged GM's board to form a committee to ``immediately and fully explore this opportunity together with management,'' as it feels the alliance could help GM ``realize substantial synergies and cost savings and thereby greatly benefit the company and enhance shareholder value.''
The letter also indicates that Tracinda has reached out to Renault chairman Louis Schweitzer and Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn to alert them to its contact with General Motors.
In a separate letter advising Schweitzer and Ghosn of the GM correspondence, Tracinda noted that ``as we recently discussed with Mr. Ghosn, Tracinda believes that General Motors, Renault and Nissan should explore a three-company, partnership-based alliance.''
In a statement, GM said it had received no offer or proposal from Renault/Nissan on a proposed alliance.
``The Tracinda request will be taken under advisement by the GM board of directors. At this time, we have no further comment.''

The board of the Japanese automaker Nissan agreed today to open talks with General Motors on a possible alliance.
Major G-M shareholder Kirk Kerkorian proposed last week that the troubled American carmaker join the Nissan-Renault alliance.
Nissan says it will talk with G-M if G-M endorses Kerkorian's proposal.
G-M says it's taking Kerkorian's plan under advisement.
In France, the finance minister says the board of Renault plans to discuss the purchase of a significant stake in G-M with Nissan.
