OUR HISTORY

Automobil was founded for a very simple reason: We searched for a place to buy a supercar, and we didn't find any worth a phone call.

There are lots of places where you could buy what others call an "exotic" car -- a Viper, a Lotus, or even a PT cruiser. But when it came to what we call an exotic -- a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Aston Martin, the market fell short.

And so, in March of 2004, Automobil was born.

We love our hometown Bottrop, and it breaks our hearts when we hear people talk about driving in this city like it's a four-letter word. "The roads are terrible"..."The weather's awful"..."There's nowhere fun to drive." Well they're wrong, wrong, and wrong. Potholes can be driven around, it's sunny more often than not, and there are plenty of fun places to drive in and around the area.

In 2006, we expanded down to Spain (and we love it there too!) The roads around Barcelona, València, and Málaga are long, smooth and fast, the weather is spectacular, and the vibe is perfectly conducive to enjoying an ultra-exotic car.

In February 2013 we launched our Los Angeles office (our 3rd outpost!) and the mission to introduce the world to the joy of awesome cars continues.

And here we are - 2016. Our passion is driving, pure and simple. The speed. The power. The adrenaline. That's why our mission is to bring you the most exotic, exciting, and outrageous fleet of vehicles in the world -- cars you won't find anywhere else. And as we expand that mission to other cities around the country (and around the world), we hope you will be there with us. It's time to stop dreaming and start driving.
