High-end automotive lifestyle services company duPont REGISTRY Group has acquired LLP Exotic Auto Finance, a provider of leasing and financing products in the luxury and exotic automotive segment. The acquisition expands dRG’s financial services offerings and strengthens its ability to serve collectors, enthusiasts and dealers throughout the ownership journey, company officials stated in a press release.
Founded in 2016, LLP has developed relationships with luxury and exotic automobile dealers across the United States, providing leasing and financing solutions tailored to six- and seven-figure automobiles including Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and others. Known for its leasing platform, the company recently launched traditional loan offerings and may expand into dealer floorplan financing opportunities for select duPont REGISTRY marketplace dealers as the platform grows, the release added.
Its most recent securitization received A and BBB ratings from S&P Global Ratings in December 2025.
“We have spent years building a platform focused on financing high-end and exotic automobiles,” said Doug Goodman, CEO of LLP Exotic Auto Finance, who will continue to serve as LLP’s CEO. “By joining duPont REGISTRY Group, we gain access to a powerful ecosystem of luxury automotive buyers, sellers and collectors. That unique deal flow creates opportunities competitors simply don’t see, allowing us to provide competitive terms for clients while delivering some of the strongest dealer reserves in the market.”
Leasing & Financing Increasingly Important
The acquisition comes as financing continues to play a central role in vehicle transactions, the release noted. The U.S. automotive industry represents approximately $1.2 trillion in annual economic activity across roughly 40,000 dealerships nationwide, with financing supporting approximately 60% of all vehicle purchases. As vehicle values continue to rise in the luxury and exotic segment, leasing and financing solutions have become increasingly important tools enabling buyers and dealers to complete transactions.
The acquisition strengthens dRG’s vertically integrated luxury automotive platform, which connects collectors, dealers and enthusiasts through marketplace, media, events and financial services. By incorporating LLP’s leasing and lending capabilities, dRG expects to support more transactions across its ecosystem while continuing to build a comprehensive automotive finance platform.
“LLP has built a highly respected platform supported by an experienced team, a strong portfolio and a disciplined approach to underwriting,” said Jason Potter, CFO of duPont REGISTRY Group. “The quality of that portfolio is reflected in the performance of its securitized assets, including its most recent rated transaction, which underscores the credit strength of LLP’s lease and finance portfolio. Combined with dRG’s reach across the luxury automotive market, we see a clear opportunity to accelerate the growth of the platform while enabling our clients to pre-qualify for leasing and financing across our ecosystem, including duPont REGISTRY Live.”
The duPont REGISTRY Group portfolio includes Canossa Events, Cars on 5th, Cavallino, duPont REGISTRY, Elferspot, FerrariChat, LLP Exotic Auto Finance, Petrolicious, Retromobile USA, Sotheby’s Motorsport and Supercar Owners Circle.
