The platform

Who is Autobahn Alpha for?

Accredited investors seeking long-term exposure to investment-grade collector cars through structured offerings.

Is this an offer to invest?

No. The website is informational only. Any offering is made solely through definitive offering documents and in accordance with applicable law.

Who is behind Autobahn Alpha?

A team from the vehicle-data world — a decade building valuation and inspection technology used by dealer groups across three continents, through to a U.S. private equity acquisition in 2025. The founder’s background is on the About page.

Do I need to be a U.S. investor?

Offerings are made under Reg D 506(c) to verified accredited investors. Eligibility for non-U.S. investors depends on the offering and your jurisdiction — it is confirmed during verification.

Can I invest through my SMSF?

Yes — offerings are open to self-managed super funds, and the fund holds its interest in the SPV in its own name, with the documentation and periodic valuation reporting its accounting and audit need. Trustees should confirm the investment fits their fund’s documented investment strategy and the sole-purpose test, and seek their own professional advice.

What does joining the waitlist commit me to?

Nothing. The waitlist is how you see upcoming cars and their diligence packs first — there is no obligation, and no funds are involved until you choose to subscribe to a specific offering under its documents.

How ownership works

How do Per-Car SPVs work?

Each car is held in a dedicated SPV. Investors subscribe to that SPV, and proceeds are used to acquire and steward the vehicle until exit.

How are cars valued while held?

Comparable sales analysis, specialist market context, and condition and provenance updates inform valuation and reporting.

What costs should I expect?

Acquisition-related expenses, storage, insurance, maintenance planning, administration and manager economics — disclosed per offering.

Who owns the car?

The SPV does — a dedicated entity whose only asset is that car. Investors hold interests in the SPV, so ownership is clean, ring-fenced and specific to the vehicle you chose.

Where are the cars kept?

In professional, climate-controlled storage with specialist insurance and scheduled condition oversight. Vault visits can be arranged by appointment through The Paddock.

What is AutoPilot?

A convenience, not a fund: you set a budget once and commitments are placed for you, car by car, into each vehicle’s own SPV as it passes diligence. You see every car, and the economics are each SPV’s own.

What is in a diligence pack?

The inspection report, provenance and documentation review, comparable-sales analysis and the cost model for that specific car — the file we build before any car is offered.

What is The Paddock?

The community every investor joins: annual drive events, private previews before auctions, vault visits and the people who care about these machines. There is no separate club fee.

Risks & liquidity

How long are investments held?

Typically long-term — 5–8 year targets. Hold periods depend on the vehicle, market conditions, and exit opportunities.

Can I sell before an exit?

Transfers may be possible subject to the SPV documents and legal eligibility, but liquidity is not guaranteed.

What are the key risks?

Loss of capital, illiquidity, valuation uncertainty, market cyclicality, and ownership costs.

How do exits work?

Each car is sold through whichever channel the market favours at the time — auction, dealer placement or private sale — with proceeds distributed pro-rata to that SPV’s investors.

Do I earn income while the car is held?

No. These are appreciation investments: returns, if any, come when the car is sold. Costs of ownership are part of each offering’s disclosed economics.

What happens if Autobahn Alpha ceases operating?

Each car is held in its own SPV, separate from the manager. The SPV’s documents govern what happens to the asset — investors’ interests in the car do not sit on the manager’s balance sheet.

How are taxes handled?

Tax treatment depends on your circumstances and jurisdiction; offering documents set out the structure. We do not provide tax advice — speak to your adviser.
