  > And knowing porsche and their customers, these won't be absolutely trashed like rental cars. Not sure about that last one. I know about Porsche drivers taking care of their cars as well, but it’s when the cars are owned by them. That wouldn’t apply here so you’ll get people driving them harder than their own vehicles.

    And that's why I don't think this program will last, at least for the high-end models. Unless maybe, Porsche is planning to use their Atlanta test track (near ATL airport, fyi) to require "Porsche driver ed" before you get the privilege of renting one of their high end models. That would make more sense and give them a lot more cover reputation-wise when there are accidents or deaths. The liability to 3rd parties killed by these drivers is pretty enormous. Maybe Clutch is insulating Porsche itself from this, but you have to imagine a trial judge being pretty sympathetic to a claim against Porsche itself if a third party is killed by one of these renters. Under a theory of reckless endangerment of sorts by putting a dangerous instrument in the hands of an unqualified driver. The program just creates a much stronger tie back to Porsche than a purchase or lease of one of their vehicles.
