if you go back far enough in Porsche history (early 70's) you'll see a connection between Piech (the nephew) and Porsche (the uncle and cousin). That's why the 914 was made under both Porsche and VW. That's why the Touareg shares parts w/ Cayenne. Piech went on to run VW and I think the "beetle" was made under his watch. The Turbo script is probably his own little joke (just for a chuckle) or maybe VW intentionally wanted to hold on to their Porsche connection. After all, 911s are beetles on steroids.
