A legacy of excellence: The story of Markus Esser & Esser Automotive
Founded in 2009 by Markus Esser, Esser Automotive has grown into one of Europe’s most respected supercar dealerships. Markus Esser, born in Aachen in 1980, has a rich background in the automotive industry. During his academic years, he gained experience at a Frankfurt-based consultancy specializing in the automotive sector. After earning his business degree in 2004, Esser moved to the United States for extensive management training at a leading premium car dealership.
From 2005 to 2009, he worked at one of Germany's most prestigious luxury car dealerships, becoming divisional manager for modern sports cars and luxury vehicles. This experience paved the way for the creation of Esser Automotive, which has since built an outstanding reputation for curating, selling, and delivering some of the world’s rarest and most desirable hypercars.

Two Agera models, including:
