Whats fake about it ? If it was any other porsche model it would be classed as a Turbo S. i can not understand why this is the only model that seems not to warrent the S badge.

I could have put a +PP on it but that really would have looked silly.
I get the logic but I personally wouldn't have felt compelled to compensate for what the factory didn't do.

I called it fake because it isn't and doesn't look OEM. The scale of the S is wrong which throws the proportions and balance of everything else out. It should be set slightly further right and follow the sweep of the turbo lettering baseline. The letter form of the S that appears above the top and bottom of the b of turbo should be equal to create balance in the shape. See below.

It just jars hence the comment which I admit came across a little blunter than I intended. Still love the colour.

Don’t want to cause offence but I have to agree with alexgb. There’s an old design maxim that says ‘don’t mess with the logo - or do so at your peril’.

Anyway, I think I’d prefer to have an anonymous presence and then leave them in my dust! :twisted:
