Supercar Storage & Transport for DFW Car Shows
Getting your exotic safely to Barrett-Jackson, Mecum, or local shows. Climate-controlled transport options.
Getting your exotic safely to Barrett-Jackson, Mecum, or local shows. Climate-controlled transport options. Understanding the nuances of this situation can save you time, money, and stress. Here's a complete overview from NW Towing & Transportation's experienced DFW operations team.
Flatbed Approach Geometry for Low-Profile Vehicles
Vehicles like the Lamborghini Huracán, Ferrari 488, McLaren 720S, and Porsche 911 GT3 sit as low as 3.5 inches above the ground in their lowest suspension setting. Loading these cars onto a standard flatbed at a typical 10° angle causes the front splitter, diffuser, or exhaust tips to contact the ramp before the car is fully loaded. Our operators use extended aluminum approach ramps and reduce deck angle to as low as 5° to eliminate contact entirely.
For vehicles with active air suspension that has failed in the lowered position, we carry external air supply equipment to temporarily raise the suspension to loading height before winching begins. For cars with no manual override, we use adjustable wheel scoops that carry the vehicle by its wheel rather than requiring it to roll up under its own suspension travel.
Insurance and Valuation for High-Value Transports
NW Towing carries commercial cargo insurance that covers vehicles in our care during transport. For vehicles valued above $150,000, we recommend verifying that your own insurance policy's coverage extends to transit — many agreed-value collector car policies do cover transport, and the combination provides a comprehensive safety net.
Always obtain a copy of the towing company's on-hook insurance certificate before handing over keys to an exotic. On-hook coverage is the specific policy that protects your vehicle while it is physically loaded on the truck. A legitimate luxury transporter will provide this documentation without hesitation.
Why Standard Towing Isn't Suitable for Luxury Vehicles
A $200,000 sports car deserves a fundamentally different level of care than a standard sedan. Wheel-lift towing places enormous stress on the suspension, steering components, and body of a vehicle that was engineered with precise tolerances. Even brief contact with a tow hook in the wrong location can score paint, crack carbon fiber, or bend delicate body panels. Standard chains scratch wheels. None of this is acceptable for a vehicle of this caliber.
NW Towing's luxury transport protocol was developed with input from exotic car owners, dealer service departments, and manufacturer-published towing guidelines. We use soft wheel-net tie-downs, never hook chains, and always confirm the manufacturer-specified tow points before loading. Our operators complete ongoing training specific to the brands they handle.
