It all starts with a simple trip.
We are in 2004. At the age of nine, Samuel Lelarge took a seat in an exceptional car. At his side, Frédéric Lasnier, a passionate collector. A moment that seems trivial, but which will become a founder. The sound of the engine, the sculpted lines of the body, the unique aura of this car... A revelation. That day, a passion was born. And with it, an idea: to make the car much more than a business of engines. Make it an art of living.

In 2019, Samuel was 23 years old. The age of discovery of the professional world, of projects that are taking shape. With Frédéric always at his side, he founded Carsup in Orléans. Their objective is clear: to simplify the lives of owners of sports and classic cars through high-end concierge services. Not just storage. A complete ecosystem, designed to meet all requirements with rigor, clarity and attention to detail.
From the start, the promise seduced. Carsup doesn't just keep cars warm: it accompanies them every step of the way. Maintenance, aesthetics, transport, event logistics... Each service is part of a fluid journey, managed via a mobile application developed in-house. The customer is in control, without the constraints.
Behind each request, a passionate professional. A trained, attentive Area Manager who knows each car, each use, each habit. All this, in secure and adapted spaces, designed as real settings, in Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon, Brussels, Geneva, London...
But Carsup goes beyond service. It is a community, a link between enthusiasts. Private rallies, circuit days, confidential events... The car is becoming a pretext for sharing, for collective emotion. Because owning an exceptional car is also experiencing something rare.
Today, Carsup manages more than 1,600 vehicles in 12 cities and 4 countries, with a team of 50 employees. But the essential remains intact: this spark of childhood, this amazed look at a rare car, still guides each step of the company.
Carsup is a different way of experiencing the car. With elegance, simplicity and passion.
And that is only the beginning.
Certaines histoires paraissent parfois invraisemblables. Une chose est sûre, l’histoire de DeLorean en est un parfait exemple, à tel point que Martin Scorsese aurait pu la porter à l’écran. De ses débuts dans la vie active avec ses premiers postes chez General Motors, à la fermeture de son entreprise tout récemment créée, John Z. Delorean a brillé tant par son génie que par son étonnant caractère. Son histoire et celle de sa marque, peu connues dans leurs détails, méritent de s’y attarder quelque peu. Un retour en arrière s’impose pour prendre la mesure d’une histoire pour le moins… hors du commun.
Even before it enters the concierge desk, your car has already found its place in the Carsup universe. Not only in one location, but at the heart of evolving knowledge: a knowledge base that connects mechanical passion to technical rigor, data to humans.
Passing the mythical 500 km/h mark is not just a question of speed. It is a challenge that involves the most advanced engineering, the most sophisticated aerodynamics and a detailed understanding of the physical forces that are exerted at these mechanical altitudes. For two decades, a handful of manufacturers have been competing on this extreme terrain: Bugatti, Koenigsegg, SSC, and more recently the Chinese giant BYD with its Yangwang division.
