Porsche Pakistan found itself in hot waters after being accused by the mainstream media of conducting dubious business activity. Various media outlets reported that a dealer of Porsche situated in Lahore, Pakistan, had fled the country after obtaining almost Rs. 800 million from the customers in the name of advance booking amount.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Performance Automotive (Pvt.) Ltd. a.k.a. Porsche Pakistan has filed for legal action against the perpetrator in multiple police stations across Lahore, where the dealership and the regional head-office is based.

Hiii
Fake…. They are misusing porsche company name. They are performance automotive Pvt LTD
@cool; being fake and misusing the name are 2 different things, please make sense of what you are saying. Neither accusation seem to apply here. Perhaps what you should instead be saying is that they should not be making such official statements under this letterhead given the nature of dispute and instead your their own legal letterhead, this act makes the statement dubious.
From what’s written in the letter; even propakistani.pk does not seem to know what they are writing, complete mismatch in what’s being reported and what’s being claimed in letter.
What remains to be clarified is why would Porsche not honor it’s commitments if it collected the advance. Porsche would be committing a business suicide by acting this way just to switch its distributorship as this was translate to complete loss of reliability irrespective of its local agent. It’s more likely that the accused party has fabricated facts or has been unable to execute transactions in a manner that complies with its distributorship agreement.
An official statement by Porsche AG may clarify facts.
