This £56,000 Porsche Cayenne has a ridiculous flaw – but is the carmaker behind the major fail or is it an epic prank?
An eagle-eyed driver spotted an embarrassing spelling error emblazoned on the back of the luxury SUV
A MAJOR fail was spotted by an eagle-eyed driver stuck in traffic behind a Porsche Cayenne.
The £56,000 SUV is sporting a badge reading 'Porshce' on the rear - but the luxury carmaker insists that the spelling mistake couldn't have been made on their end.
The car was pictured in Melbourne during rush-hour traffic and sent in to the .
However, Porsche Australia says its stringent quality checks means they are unlikely to be responsible for the mishap.
This includes two separate badge checks before cars leave the Germany factory and local dealer.
The model is not brand new either, so the owner is likely to have spotted it by now if it was bought with the spelling mistake.
So we'd like to believe that the badge error is part of an epic prank - neatly done too.
It's certainly possible to de-badge a car, but by carefully using such products like paint thinner after protecting the surrounding area.
You could also put dental floss or fishing wire around the emblem and gently prise it off - not that we recommend to do so, even as an elaborate hoax.
A Porsche Australia spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia: "Our attention to detail and quality control is second to none, so I can’t envisage that happening on our end.

"At the factory in Germany, one of the key things that we check is that all badging is correct.
"It's then checked again during the pre-delivery inspection at the dealership in Australia as well. It's on two separate checklists.
"We do those things on every single car and take quality control extremely seriously."
