Porsche986:

First, you'd get a "cease and desist" letter from their legal department most probably. It's a formal warning and if you don't adhere to it, they'll sue you and even if you win, you will have spent a lot of money.

The Porsche Badge is trademarked internationally and they have lawyers on retainer in every country of the world.

You wouldn't get in trouble just making up your own for yourself and family or friends, but if you started selling the items with non-Porsche authorized logos on them, eventually they'll find you and do as much harm as possible.

I share this info because I have spent thousands trademarking stuff to keep others from using it. I've even had my lawyer send cease and desist letters from time to time just to help them understand I'm serious about keeping my organization's logo and name unique.
