duPont REGISTRY Group Acquires Majority Stake in Elferspot

duPont REGISTRY Group (dRG), backed by BNF Capital the family office of François Perrodo, has announced its acquisition of a majority stake in Elferspot, the premier marketplace for pre-owned and classic Porsche sports cars. This strategic move, revealed on February 18, 2026, aims to enhance dRG’s portfolio within the luxury automotive segment, particularly in the niche market of Porsche enthusiasts.

Elferspot, founded in 2017 by Porsche aficionado Markus Klimesch in Austria, has established itself as a trusted platform for buying and selling quality Porsches. The marketplace lists over 13,000 Porsche sports cars annually, generating more than $400 million in seller-reported sales value, with 35% of its activity driven by the U.S. market.

The acquisition allows dRG to leverage Elferspot’s specialized marketplace, which complements its existing portfolio that includes media, events, and digital commerce focused on luxury automotive brands. Klimesch will remain a significant shareholder and continue to lead Elferspot, ensuring that the brand retains its authenticity and specialist voice.

“Elferspot has always been built by Porsche enthusiasts for Porsche enthusiasts,” said Klimesch. “We share a long-term vision with duPont REGISTRY Group and see strong strategic fit and real synergies.”

As part of the acquisition, dRG plans to support Elferspot through enhanced marketing capabilities, expanded dealer relationships, and new commerce opportunities related to Porsche lifestyle products. This includes integrating Elferspot’s web shop offerings with dRG’s platforms, which already cater to a large community of Ferrari enthusiasts.

The deal positions dRG to accelerate Elferspot’s international growth while maintaining its operational independence from Austria. The acquisition is expected to create cross-selling opportunities and increase traffic through dRG’s established marketing channels.

In the broader context, this acquisition reflects ongoing trends in the luxury automotive market, where niche platforms are becoming increasingly valuable. As competition intensifies, dRG’s move may prompt other players in the industry to pursue similar acquisitions to enhance their market positions.

Looking ahead, dRG aims to integrate Elferspot into its ecosystem while preserving its unique brand identity. The company is optimistic about the potential for growth in the luxury automotive sector, particularly as it expands its offerings in Porsche lifestyle products and collectibles.
