Just stopped in today and had the pleasure of spending time with Antoine C. He was extremely kind, humble, and supportive. I was taken back of the customer service and facility. It's like stepping into Jay Leno's garage. Highly recommend this place. Oh, the owner was present as well and was extremely friendly and kind as well.

Lotus Evora GT........OMG what a car! Is it possible to squeeze 416 hp out of a 3104 LB car? the answer is YES!!!! a six-speed automatic transmission and the torque grows to 332 lb-ft with zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and the top speed of 174 mph. Enough spec., this is one fun ride. This vehicle had all the bells & a few whistles. Alpine sound system, Carbon fiber package and specialty tuned exhaust were all options from the dealer. I drove it in "Sport" mode for most of the time which gave it higher RPM's and a sweet sound even standing still. Go with "race" mode and hold on for dear life!I've driven several Evora's in the past and they were just OK. This, my friends is an entirely different car. Looks Great, drive fantastic, cost was well worth it and time I spend driving with my son.....priceless.Thank you Tom for a great car and remarkable service from Autosport Designs. Wasn't my first car from them and will surely not be my last.

I ve been on the lookout for over a year trying to find my next car to add to my collection. I ve seen a few online that I love but the fact I have to contact for a price on nearly 90% of everything on their website makes me want to simply go elsewhere, it s not 1985. I m stumbling across their cars last night at midnight. I call this morning and get asked to hold for a sec and then as someone comes back for my call I hear the phone pick up and then I just get dial tone. I don t have a 3 Million dollar budget however I am shopping for a car up to $400,000. Just list your prices on the website. Whether it says $330,000 on the website or when I call what s the difference? Your salesman isn t going to be able to talk me into it anymore than the pictures and knowing the price. This outdated business model makes me just want to go elsewhere.

I have purchased two vehicles from Autosport. An Aston and a Range Rover. They generally have high quality vehicles. Be very cautious of their administrative handling of your purchase. If you are purchasing from a distance, my advice would be just don t. It s not worth dealing with their lackadaisical approach in doing business for vehicles purchased on the high end of the market. Not sure if it is their staff or leadership, but I will not be back.

I live in Kirkland Washington and I recently purchased a 2003 Aston Martin Vanquish from Autosport Designs which is in Huntington Station New York. Those two spots have quite a bit of distance between them and I made the purchase in two days based on website pictures, a YouTube video and---most importantly--- the reputation and integrity of Autosport Designs represented by--- in this instance--- Dave Cohen, Operations Manager.As you can imagine since I was not onsite---I had quite a few questions and both David and Peter Bergman, the Service manager took plenty of time to answer my questions , provide records and respond quickly to any/all questions I had about the car.While this car had very low mileage it had a major aftermarket modification with the installation of a completely new transmission and I needed reassurance that everything was going to work ----and work well.Well----bottom line---not only did I get the necessary information and assurances from David and Peter---I have now have received the car and driven it and everything they promised has been proven to be true.I bought this car sight unseen ---which takes quite a bit of faith in not only Autosport but human nature. I'm happy to report that in this instance my faith was fully rewarded. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them as an honest and forthright organization should you find a car in their inventory that excites you as much as the Vanquish did me.

I recently bought a vehicle from Autosport Design. I specifically dealt with their sales representative Brandon Simon. Brandon was very up front and accomadating from the first initial contact I made with him over the car I was interested in.As I couldn't get to see the car myself I arranged for an independent inspection which Brandon wholeheartedly encouraged. The inspection identified a couple of minor issues. The issues found were never going to be a deal breaker for me, I would have been happy to take the car as is, but Brandon insisted on rectifying the problems before he would release the car.I have now received the car and it is everything that both the website and Brandon described the car to be. Completely delighted in my investment.From my experience I feel this is a very honest and trustworthy company to deal with. I would not hesitate to buy another vehicle from them should that situation ever arise, nor would I hesitate to recommend them to anybody looking to buy from their quite incredible inventory.

Thank you Tom, Brandon and Antoine. My new Lotus GT is a truly exhilarating car. This is my second Lotus purchase through Autosport Designs and my experience was nothing short of spectacular. You guys are absolute professionals that really know your cars inside and out. It was truly a pleasure working with you. For anyone out there looking for a one of a kind exotic or classic car purchase, this is the place to go. Thank you all at Autosport Designs!!!

Very unprofessional, they don t treat clients like they re a high end dealer, you re better off going somewhere else if you can.

Just bought a 2020 Evora GT from Autosport Designs. As an owner of an original GT40 I can tell you the driving experience is very comparable (the Evora has better brakes and mirrors, the GT40 better sound and acceleration). As a collector, it's joyful to have a new car that has all of the modern amenities, needs nothing, and yet is as rare as my other cars. Furthermore, it is one of a only handful of new cars available with a manual transmission. It is refreshingly analog for this day and age and an absolute delight to drive. The team of Tom, Antoine, and Laura made acquisition seamless. Highly recommend!!

Gary and AutoSport Designs were fantastic! He went out of his way to make himself available to me, including coming in on a holiday to deliver the car. The whole transaction was seamless and easy. And the car? I ve never had as much fun behind the wheel as I do with my new Lotus Evora GT! What a machine - just a driver s dream.

I have always had a great experience here. I miss my Lotus and this place was able to fix everything that went wrong with her . My 2007 Lotus would lose pieces and parts (they just fell off while driving) but I loved that thing and these guy put it back together time and time again ... it was good to know they had my back and they pushed to have parts rushed and service done. I'm thinking of a evora 400 and I fondly remember how this place was honest and good to me

So i listed a rare car for sale last week on Hemmings Motor News . immediately i get an Email from a guy Named Helmet from Germany. Being the hard core NY person I Am I tell my wife this has got to be a scam. the Guy wants to Buy the car sight unseen . I tell him i prefer to do business with people i can see he says Ok i will have My Friend in Long Island Tom Popadopolus call you and handle the sale . I'm Thinking Yea Right this must Be BS. but while hanging on the beach a few hours later I get contacted By a guy named Tom Popodopolus and he says hi My friend would like me to come inspect your car and if it is what you advertised and we can agree on the Price I will wire you the Funds . Again I'm skeptical . Anyway Monday Comes and Tom emails Me i would like to send one of My associates to Come look at your car so Sure enough a Brand New Lotus shows up in my Driveway and out Pops a Man Names Antoine . What a gentleman Antoine turns out to be . He calls Tom and says Yes the car Is Real and the Vin Number Matches the Engine witch by the Way is electric . Then hangs up the phone and says OK its a deal would you like me to wire the funds to your account ?So I'm Like no that wont be necessary when I get the proper paper work to transfer the Car. you can pay for it. Antoine says yes no Problem we can pay you and wait for the funds to clear what ever you like . Felt so comfortable dealing with such professionals. the deal went exactly as promised by Tom And Antoine and Helmet. They picked up the car Today and Greg was again one of the most Professional Drivers i have every come across. he was very cautious while moving the car . I would trust this company with any collector car I have . Thanks again Guys And see you soon . I want to come visit Your operation in Huntington soon.

I bought a Ferrari Daytona at auction and it came with a number of issues. Tom Papadopoulos, the owner of Autosport Designs, took a personal interest in the car. He inspected it and road tested it, thoroughly catalogued its needs. Many were hidden or subtle, ranging from improper size carburetor jets to a missing driveshaft bolt down to the incorrect rubber tabs on the sunvisors . Derek, the service manager, always kept me informed on the car's status while it was there. I found Kevin, their master Ferrari mechanic, to be both extremely meticulous and accessible. I had buyer's remorse when I first got the car and drove it but after it was properly tuned and set up by the Autosport team it has become my favorite car in the stable.

Just completed my first purchase with Autosport Designs. Tom and Brandon were great to work with and went out of their way to make certain I would be happy with my purchase. I will definitely buy from them again in the future.

Demetrios, the parts manager is an absolute pleasure to deal with. He is a great customer of mine, and is very helpful when I run across the need for Lotus parts. I can only imagine how wonderful the entire staff is! Thank you again Demetrios and Autosport Design! - Pat at MPI

Tom Papadopoulos is one of the most knowledgeable, articulate men I have ever met. His heart and his honesty is what has made him the go to person he is today. I will always refer him and Autosport Designs to everyone I know.
