Latest News, Tips & More | Tactical Fleet

In an exclusive feature by TopSpeed, Tactical Fleet, a supercar dealership based in Dallas, Texas, is highlighted for its impressive scale and variety of luxury and exotic cars. Established in 2018 by founders Jason Putnam and Christopher Barta, Tactical Fleet has quickly become one of the fastest-growing multi-brand pre-owned luxury and exotic car dealerships in the U.S. The dealership’s rapid success is attributed to its commitment to transparency, customer-centric focus, and the quality of cars on offer.

Jason Putnam and Christopher Barta, with their extensive experience in the luxury car industry, envisioned Tactical Fleet as a one-stop shop for luxury and supercars. Their journey began in a warehouse in Dallas, and by October 2020, they had amassed an inventory of 100 cars. The brand’s expansion continued with the opening of locations in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Beverly Hills, California. Tactical Fleet’s unique selling proposition lies in its vast inventory, which often surpasses its competitors, and its ability to provide effortless finance and leasing options.

Beyond just selling cars, Tactical Fleet offers customization services, from custom wraps and paint protection films to performance tuning. When asked about the key to their success, Jason emphasized the importance of transparency and building long-term relationships with clients. The dealership’s process involves hand-picking each car based on its specifications and mileage, ensuring that they offer unique, limited edition, or low-volume models.

Looking ahead, while Tactical Fleet is focused on refining the experience at its current locations, there are discussions about potential overseas expansion. Additionally, while their inventory primarily consists of modern luxury cars, they are open to exploring the vintage or classic car market, particularly vintage Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Porsches.

The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, a product of the early-2000s collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, is celebrated as a legendary supercar in a review by HotCars. Born from Mercedes-Benz’s 40% ownership of the McLaren Group at the time, this German-British supercar boasted a supercharged V8 engine and a unique rear-wheel-drive muscle car style. Today, its iconic design, powerful performance, and rarity have elevated it to unicorn status in the automotive world. The car’s design is striking, with features like butterfly doors, side-exit exhausts, and a long hood. Its 5.4-liter engine delivers a staggering 617 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque, making it a powerhouse in its era.

LOS ANGELES, June 12, 2023 – Premier exotic car dealership Tactical Fleet served as the title sponsor for Daniel Mac’s iconic 2023 Legends Rally. The “What do you do for a living?” TikTok star led a thrilling 2-day supercar rally held March 3-5.

Taking an audacious ride from Los Angeles, through the iconic Joshua Tree National Park, all the way to the vibrant city of Las Vegas, the rally saw a line-up of hardcore car enthusiasts and their supercars, including Tactical Fleet’s unforgettable white Rolls Royce Dawn with chic pink accents. This stylish Rolls-Royce didn’t just charm spectators with its visually striking appearance, but also shocked them as bright orange paint was suddenly sprayed across the hood.

While the crowd believed the $320,000 luxury car was in ruins just moments before the rally, the Tactical Fleet team watched with ease, covertly aware of a secret protective layer. This bold and somewhat unorthodox demonstration showcased Ceramic Pro’s protective prowess of their superior products in safeguarding high-end vehicles from all kinds of cosmetic damage.

The rally ended on an unforgettable note, with a police escort leading the caravan of high-performance supercars up the bustling Las Vegas strip, drawing cheers and applause from spectators. This spectacle demonstrated the shared community passion and camaraderie inherent in the supercar culture.

As the Title Sponsor, Tactical Fleet’s involvement in Daniel Mac’s Legends Rally underscores its dedication to not just the sale of exotic cars, but its commitment to fostering a vibrant automotive community.
