"Just one Porsche? Ha. I'll take the whole fleet."
That's our pitch-perfect performance as you, applying for a membership to Porsche Passport—a new service that allows you to select whichever stunning Porsche you'd like to drive on any given day or night, from an entire fleet of Porsche vehicles, via one easy-to-use smartphone app. It's up-and-running now in the metro Atlanta area.
So, wow. You probably never thought you'd find yourself in a position like this, where you could feasibly take a first date for a spin in a sleek 911 Carrera one night and drive your buddies to dinner in a just-as-sleek, 360-horsepower Macan the next. Well, that's okay. This is new for all of us.
Fortunately, the way this whole thing works is staggeringly simple.
First, you'll download the Porsche Passport app on your Android or iPhone and submit your application. Once your application has been accepted, you'll pay a monthly fee for either the "Launch" membership, with eight model variants, or the "Accelerate" membership, with 22 model variants. This payment covers everything—from roadside assistance and comprehensive insurance, to a personal concierge who hand-details the Porsche of your choice and delivers it to you at your convenience.
The best part: you can easily select and request your next Porsche directly from the app and keep each one for as long or as little as you'd like. And in the interest of helping you realize just how cool this is, we've taken the liberty of assigning a few particular cars to a few particular scenarios.
Check it out...
The Scenario: You're hosting a last-minute party and you need to pick up the meat-and-cheese board. And the beer. And maybe, like, a fold-up table or something.
The Car: The Porsche Cayenne GTS SUV. It's got more than enough room for all your supplies. And with up to 440 horsepower, it'll get you home fast enough in time to hang the piñata. Or whatever you do to entertain.
The Scenario: You're taking an impromptu road trip with your special someone to the Florida Keys. Because you're cold.
The Car: The Porsche Boxster. It gets great gas mileage and bears a striking resemblance to the enviable vehicle pictured above.
The Scenario: It's your turn to pick the kids up from school. If you don't have kids, it's... your turn to pick up your friends for poker night. Does that work? That works.
The Car: The Porsche Macan. With its turbo-charged engine, it'll be sure to impress your kids/friends. And with its LED headlights, dynamic beam control and super-sized brakes, it'll be sure to help keep them safe, too.
The Scenario: A first date with the comely bartender you met the other night.
The Car: A silver 911 Carrera S. It's just about the sexiest car you can drive.
The Scenario: A second date with that comely bartender you took out last week..
The Car: A silver Porsche Cayman. "Is that a different Porsche than last time?" They'll ask. "Is it?" You'll respond.
