Default Carrera 4 Font - What is it?

Does anyone know which exact font was used to make the Carrera and Carrera 4 badge?

It's not a font. It's a logo.

I did a Google search and came up with nothing. I wanted the Porsche font a few months back for a project and it was easy to find. Fonts are usually easy to find and install.

I don't think that is the 964 script - that looks like a 996 logo.

In the 964 logo, the "a" is not open at the top, it is closed. The 993 logo is the same but smaller.

The 996 logo is like above with the top of each of the two a's being open.

The logo in my avatar is from the 964.

p.s. I know it was not the question but...

I suspect it's a custom design and not a standard typeface.

Marc, David, both helpful replies, thanks I learnt something ..... Anyway if you guys have a high-res pic of the logo/pic/whatever it's called, please send it on. I want to make a nice custom badge/crest/moniker call it what you like, using that, for my cars.

Doesn't matter to me if it's 964 or 993 or even 911 Carrera, I like all of the above.
