In this riveting episode of MotorTrend Channel, we delve into the heart-pounding world of the Mecum Houston auction, where automotive dreams meet their fate at the hands of the highest bidder. The auction floor saw a fierce battle over a 69 Charger RT, a true Mopar masterpiece that roared off the block for a cool $150,000. But the real showstopper was the 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith, a behemoth of luxury and power with its custom color scheme and a jaw-dropping 624 horsepower V12 engine, fetching the same price of $150,000.
Charity took the spotlight with a 2017 Challenger SRT Demon hitting the stage, its sale benefiting multiple noble causes. The auction heated up further with the arrival of a rare 89 930 Turbo slantnose Porsche, a divisive beauty that turned heads and wallets alike. The bidding war escalated with a custom Corvette and a sleek Styer gray Corvette, each commanding attention and fetching impressive prices. And just when you thought things couldn't get any hotter, a second SRT Demon made its grand entrance, this time boasting a sunroof and a fierce 1,125 horsepower under the hood.
As the auction continued its adrenaline-fueled journey, a 2005 Lamborghini Merc Lago made its presence known, its wild styling and monstrous 571 horsepower V12 engine captivating the crowd and selling for a cool $190,000. But the real surprise came in the form of a replica 300 SL Mercedes-Benz, a meticulous creation that fetched a staggering $200,000, proving that craftsmanship and attention to detail never go out of style. And finally, the grand finale arrived with a show-stopping 2008 SLR McLaren, a collaboration of power and elegance that left the crowd in awe and sold for a jaw-dropping $325,000, sealing its fate as the ultimate star of the auction.
