duPont Registry Group Announces Privé Sofia: Groundbreaking Collector Car Hub in the Heart of Eastern Europe
June 11, 2025 – Miami, FL – duPont Registry Group (DRG), the trailblazer in the luxury and exotic automotive ecosystem, is proud to unveil duPont Registry Privé Sofia, a pioneering automotive lifestyle destination set to open in 2027 in Business Park Sofia, the biggest innovation hub in Central and Eastern Europe. Developed in collaboration with Gensler, the largest design and architecture firm in the world, the project marks a bold new era for collector car culture in Europe. Tucked into the foothills near Bulgaria's vibrant capital, with sweeping views of nearby mountains, duPont Registry Privé Sofia is far more than a secure home for the world's most exceptional vehicles, it is a curated community for discerning collectors, crafted by leaders in luxury, design, and automotive excellence. 'Designed together with Gensler, we've created an environment where cars are celebrated not only as investments, but also as art, identity, and passion in what is a world-class exclusive members-only club for a selected group of discerning collectors,' says Dimitar Stoimenov, CEO of duPont REGISTRY PRIVÉ Sofia, and Bulgaria's official Ferrari and Maserati dealer. At the heart of duPont Registry Privé Sofia, the development will feature: Private, climate-controlled office and garage suites with 24/7 access, plus advanced security and fire suppression. White-glove concierge services covering everything from deluxe detailing to global vehicle transport, insurance, and storage logistics. Curated amenities including a fine dining restaurant, boutique fitness spaces, a cigar lounge, retail spaces, private meeting rooms, and immersive lounges adorned with automotive art and design elements. Exclusive experiences such as private racetrack access, curated social and driving events, lifestyle concierge planning, and rally participation across Europe and beyond. 'This is a lifestyle hub where collectors don't just park their cars, they live their passion among like-minded individuals, surrounded by thoughtful design, tailored amenities, and a sense of exclusivity,' says Alex Fernandez, Design Principal at Gensler. 'I believe we're setting a new global benchmark.' duPont Registry Privé Sofia offers annual and lifetime memberships, each including access to a customizable private suite – available in three distinctive aesthetics: Stone, Steel, and Earth. The Gensler-designed office suites can be tailored as private showrooms, workspaces, or retreat-like spaces with seamless access to all the global Privé club-member amenities. The project aims to unify the often-disconnected collector car community in Central and Eastern Europe: 'There are collectors here with extraordinary cars, but they lack a central place to come together,' adds Stoimenov. 'We're building a community, mirroring what exists in Monterey, Dubai, or Miami, where stories are shared, deals are made, discerning families can relate, and automotive passion thrives.'

Rétromobile Partners With Gooding Christie's Auction House
Organised by Comexposium, one of the world's leading event organisers, Rétromobile is gearing up for an exceptional year in 2026, for two reasons. In Paris, the show will celebrate its 50th anniversary, while on the other side of the Atlantic, the first American edition will be held in the heart of New York. It is in this context that Comexposium and Rétromobile are delighted to announce the signing of a multi-year partnership with Gooding Christie's auction house. This collaboration will offer collectors the most exceptional selection of vehicles ever presented at auction during the anniversary edition and future editions of the show, both in Paris and New York. After a record-breaking 2025 edition which attracted to Paris 146,000 visitors from all over the world, Rétromobile—in keeping with its mission to be a showcase for the classic car industry—has now chosen to cross the Atlantic. In 2026, this second edition of the iconic show, organized in partnership between Comexposium and duPont Registry Group , will offer a unique event for enthusiasts and collectors across North America. In Paris and New York, the shows will put in the spotlight a wide variety of vintage and rare classic cars, the heritage of more than a century of automotive history. The event reflects not only the historical and cultural significance of these mechanical gems but also the richness of craftsmanship, innovation, and design. More than a car show, Rétromobile is a celebration of automotive beauty. Beginning in 2026, one of its key highlights will be top-tier auctions conducted under the hammer of Gooding Christie's. Photo by: Gooding & Company Since its establishment in 2003 by David Gooding and his wife Dawn Ahrens, Gooding & Company has established itself as one of the world's leading auction houses in the collector car market. As a result, the auction house holds numerous world records for the most prestigious marques (including Ferrari, Bugatti, Porsche and Duesenberg). Founded in 1766, Christie's has been a global leader in the art and luxury goods market, present in nearly 50 countries (across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific), and with international salesrooms in New York, London, Hong Kong, Paris, and Geneva. Christie's acquired Gooding & Company in September 2024 and the auction house was subsequently renamed Gooding Christie's. David Gooding, Chairman of Gooding Christie's, said: 'We are proud to announce our first ever European auction as Gooding Christie's, and what better event to partner with than the illustrious Salon Rétromobile, the leading European classic car event. Rétromobile has been a vibrant marketplace for the last 50 years, with the most prominent collectors and dealers transacting the most significant cars. We look forward to taking the center stage at the Parisian and New York events' Francis Belin, President of Christie's Asia-Pacific, who also oversees the global luxury portfolio of activities, added: 'The Rétromobile team hosts a wonderful event for the global automotive community centered in the heart of Paris, and we could not be more enthused about our new partnership as the official auction house. In addition to the Parisian event, the New York edition provides a spectacular venue for our new North American auction, and presents Gooding Christie's with the next step of growth and expansion in the international collector car market.' Romain Grabowski, Director of the Rétromobile show, continued: 'During my travels in the United States I had the opportunity to attend several sales orchestrated by David Gooding and his team. The quality of the collections on display was simply exceptional. It is this expertise, these values, and the reputation of this auction house that attracted us, as well as Christie's' international reach and expertise in the art and luxury goods world. There is no doubt that this new collaboration will be one of the highlights of our 50th edition. The entire Rétromobile team joins me in welcoming everyone at Gooding Christie's to the great Rétromobile family!' Gérard Neveu, Director of Rétromobile in New York, concluded: 'Who better than Gooding Christie's to lead the auction at the new Rétromobile New York show? With David Gooding as the world-renowned expert in the classic car market together with the prestige and heritage of Christie's name. With this new partnership, and for the ultimate pleasure and benefit of American car collectors and all our future visitors, Rétromobile New York has once again been afforded the best means possible to prepare for an exceptional event in Manhattan from November 19 to 22, 2026.'

Joe Rogan's New Custom Car Turns Heads
Longtime UFC analyst and podcast host Joe Rogan has added an impressive vehicle to his collection. Earlier this year, Rogan received a brand new, custom Performance Tesla S-APEX. And it has recently been turning heads on social media. The car, built by Unplugged Performance, features a carbon fiber widebody, white and blue pearl paint, and a high-end Banbu leather and Alcantara interior, according to Mario Nawfal from Unplugged Tesla. Nawfal called it "a true performance EV" with its "carbon ceramic brakes from the legendary Dark Helmet build." Jordan Aquistapace of the duPont Registry shared some details about the new custom car, declaring that the custom electric vehicle gives "supercars a run for their money." "The performance junkies at Unplugged Performance are known for elevating the look and feel of everyday Tesla EVs with tons of exterior and interior upgrades. The once-factory Model S features a carbon fiber widebody with a custom white and blue pearl paint job, protected by satin PPF. Exposed carbon trim adds to the sleek look, and it was handpicked by Joe and the team during the build process," Aquistapace wrote for the duPont Registry. "Inside, the cabin combines white Banbu leather and black Alcantara, with meticulous hand-stitching for a clean finish. Performance-wise, the S-APEX comes equipped with the same carbon ceramic brakes found on the shop's renowned Dark Helmet build. Now in the possession of Joe Rogan, look out for his one-of-one UP Tesla S-APEX on Austin, TX roads." Rogan himself clearly enjoyed the new car, saying "It's very cool, I love it" in the video, and the car quickly turned heads on social media. "That is extremely cool!!" one fan wrote in a post on X. "I hate electric cars in general, but the Model S is cool, and this custom one is amazing," someone else added. "This is so sweet," another person added. "That is awesome looking!" someone else wrote. "This car is stunning," another person commented. Clearly, Rogan is enjoying his new wheels.
