My guess is that their font is at least 25% different than the "official Porsche font" - which itself was a similar modification of another common font, so maybe they're using that original one. That's the usual difference or change to avoid Copyright & Trademark/Servicemark infringement.
Even the vaunted block letter "PORSCHE" font is a modification of an old font called Microgramma IIRC (Porsche made the verticals fatter & horizontals thinner). Otherwise, Porsche has a bunch of high paid lawyers who will take care of it!
