Studio Motors

What Studio Motors does

Studio Motors is a privately held luxury and exotic vehicle brokerage that acts as an intermediary for the sale, lease, and acquisition of high-end automobiles. The firm represents a portfolio of nine premium marques — Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maybach, McLaren, Porsche, and Rolls-Royce — and serves high-net-worth individual buyers, sellers, and lessees across multiple U.S. markets. Core service lines are sales brokerage, leasing, acquisition assistance, and a Motorsport Performance Upgrades division offering tunes, suspension, wheels, wraps, paint protection film (PPF), and bolt-on accessories.

The company operates from a headquarters in Burbank, California with a physical showroom in Studio City, and extends its reach through a broker network covering California (Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Orange County, Bay Area), Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Tampa, Orlando), Texas (Dallas, Houston), Arizona (Scottsdale, Phoenix, and surrounding markets), and Tennessee (Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Memphis, Knoxville). Go-to-market is direct, broker-led, and supported by white-glove delivery. Demand generation is executed through a YouTube channel, a blog called "The Exotic Edit," an email newsletter, and an SEO-driven web presence spanning more than 40 city-specific pages.

Studio Motors generates revenue through transaction-based fees on exotic vehicle sales, leases, and acquisitions, supplemented by motorsport upgrade services. The firm operates with a lean team of approximately seven employees, is privately held, and has not disclosed external funding rounds, revenue, or financial benchmarks. The competitive position rests on a multi-brand portfolio, a multi-state broker network, and owned-media distribution rather than proprietary technology.

Emerging players

• Cars & Bids: Modern online auction platform focused on enthusiast and modern exotic vehicles from the 1980s onward. Comparable in addressing the same HNW enthusiast/collector buyer for exotics, though operating via a digital auction model rather than broker-led sales and leasing.
• Turo: Peer-to-peer car-sharing platform with significant exotic and luxury inventory enabling short-term access to high-end vehicles. Comparable at the customer level (exotic-seeking HNWIs) but operates a different access model (rental) versus Studio Motors' ownership/lease brokerage.

Direct peers

• Manhattan Motorcars: New York-based exotic luxury dealer offering Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce and similar marques with high-touch client services. Comparable to Studio Motors as a multi-brand exotic dealer targeting affluent buyers in a major US luxury market with both sales and lease offerings.
• Marshall Goldman Motor Sales: Cleveland-based exotic and luxury pre-owned dealer handling Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, McLaren and more. Comparable in that it sells high-end exotics on a relationship/brokerage-style basis beyond standard OEM dealer footprints, often shipping nationally to HNW clients.
• Park Place Ltd: Texas-based exotic and luxury auto dealer group operating across Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, McLaren, and other marques with concierge-style client services. Highly comparable in customer segment (HNWIs), brand portfolio breadth, and investment-oriented client engagement.
• Bring a Trailer: Online auction platform specializing in enthusiast and exotic vehicles, connecting sellers to a national community of collectors. Comparable in that it serves the same HNW collector segment for exotic vehicle transactions, but substitutes broker intermediation with auction-based price discovery.
• duPont Registry: Long-standing luxury and exotic automotive marketplace that brokers high-end vehicle sales and connects buyers with sellers/dealers. Comparable to Studio Motors in serving HNW buyers of exotic vehicles through an intermediated, brand-rich platform rather than fixed-rooftop dealership inventory.
• O'Gara Coach: Beverly Hills exotic and luxury auto dealer covering Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, McLaren and others with strong concierge positioning in the LA market. Directly comparable to Studio Motors as a same-metro exotic multi-brand house competing for the same HNW buyer pool.
• Braman Motors: Florida-based luxury and exotic dealer group with multi-brand representation including Bentley, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Porsche, and Lamborghini. Comparable as a multi-metro exotic retailer serving HNWIs in key luxury geographies (Miami, Palm Beach) that overlap with Studio Motors' Florida footprint.

Others

• AutoGravity / Digital Lending Platforms (e.g., Chase Auto, Capital One Auto Navigator): Broader digital auto finance and shopping platforms that compete for parts of the exotic vehicle financing funnel. Comparable only loosely — they sit upstream/downstream of the exotic specialty lender relationship that Studio Motors relies on as a core differentiator.
