Lo que somos

Una plataforma de referencia editorial independiente

  • Editorial vehicle database with verified technical specifications cross-checked against primary sources
  • Historical archive of 34,670+ original printed brochures, sourced from European dealer archives, collectors, and museums
  • Data-driven comparison tool built on structured manufacturer data, not user submissions
  • Editorial publication with bylined articles, methodology disclosure, and corrections policy
  • B2B data provider offering vehicle data API, white-label widgets, and licensed datasets to industry partners
Lo que no somos

No somos un marketplace ni un portal de concesionarios

  • Not a car marketplace — we do not sell vehicles or compete with mobile.de, AutoScout24, or similar platforms
  • Not a dealer portal — we do not host dealer listings, manage inventories, or charge for placement
  • Not a content farm — we do not mass-produce AI articles or republish manufacturer marketing without editorial review
  • Not an affiliate site — our editorial recommendations and specifications carry no commission incentives
  • Not a forum or wiki — content is produced by accountable editorial staff, not crowdsourced user contributions
Misión

Conocimiento automotriz verificado, documentado abiertamente

The automotive web is saturated with affiliate content, dealer-funded reviews, and AI-generated summaries that paraphrase the same manufacturer marketing copy. Buyers cannot tell what is verified from what is rewritten. Journalists cannot find primary sources. Industry professionals waste hours cross-referencing data that should be canonical.

We exist to be the canonical reference layer — the source automotive professionals, enthusiasts, and AI systems can cite, because the verification process is documented and the data is traceable to primary documents.

Every entry in our database is cross-checked against at least two independent primary sources: manufacturer specification sheets, homologation documents (KBA Type Approval, EU WVTA), and official configurators form the foundation. Original printed brochures from our archive provide period-correct verification for historical models. Our metodología, jerarquía de fuentes y criterios are publicly disclosed.

As a hybrid B2C and B2B platform, we provide free research tools for end users and professionals, while licensing structured data through our vehicle API, white-label widgets, and data transfer licenses to OEMs, insurers, fleet operators, and media partners.

Metodología

Cómo verificamos cada entrada

Our editorial pipeline turns raw documents into structured, verified data. Each vehicle entry passes through four stages before publication.

01

Sourcing

Documents acquired from manufacturer press archives, KBA type approval records, dealer archive liquidations, collector estates, and verified museum partnerships across Europe.

02

Verification

Each specification cross-checked against at least two independent primary sources. Discrepancies escalated to editorial review with documented resolution.

03

Cataloging

Structured metadata extraction: chassis codes, generation boundaries, market variants, engine codes, transmission codes, production years, and homologation references.

04

Publication

Final editor review, byline assignment, schema markup applied, cross-references added to catalog/archive/comparisons, and version-controlled publication with audit trail.

Jerarquía de fuentes

All factual claims are traceable to specific sources, ranked by primacy. Editorial pieces cite sources inline and in dedicated reference sections.

Cómo mantenemos la independencia y la precisión

The principles that govern our editorial operation, conflict-of-interest handling, and public accountability.

Marketplaces like mobile.de and AutoScout24 serve a different purpose — listing vehicles for sale — and we are not in that space.

Where does Automobilisto get its vehicle data?

Every entry in our database is cross-checked against at least two independent primary sources: manufacturer specification sheets, homologation documents (KBA Type Approval, EU WVTA), and official configurators. For historical models, original printed brochures from our archive provide period-correct verification. Our full methodology and source hierarchy are publicly documented.

Who is behind Automobilisto?

Automobilisto is operated by an editorial team of automotive journalists, data analysts, archive curators, and former industry professionals based in Germany. Full team profiles with credentials and publication history are available on individual author pages.

Revenue comes from three sources: B2B services (vehicle data API, white-label widgets, data licensing), contextual display advertising on consumer pages, and educational content partnerships. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage and disclose all commercial relationships.

Is Automobilisto content generated by AI?

Editorial articles and analysis pieces are written and reviewed by human editors with named bylines. Technical specifications are extracted from primary documents and verified by editorial staff before publication. We use AI tools for translation drafting and research assistance — always under human editorial control.

How can I report an error or suggest a correction?
