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.
