In the latest episode of MotorTrend Channel, the auction scene at Mecum Las Vegas unfolds with a jaw-dropping lineup that would make any petrolhead weak at the knees. Picture this: a 61 Impala convertible boasting a supercharged 580 horsepower LSA engine, a 1967 Mustang with a 347 stroker powerplant, and a devilish 2018 Dodge SRT Demon Yellow Jacket capable of lifting its front wheels in a feat of American automotive history. And that's just the beginning. The auction floor sees a 1964 Corvette convertible flexing its big block hood, a 2021 Audi R8 spider making its mark with a $165,000 reserve off, and a 1963 Grand Sport Corvette replica capturing the essence of a legendary era.
But wait, there's more. A 2016 Viper ACR rolls onto the scene like a weapon of mass destruction on wheels, flaunting its 645 horsepower V10 engine. Following suit is a 2022 Challenger custom build, number 10 of 10 produced, featuring a supercharged 6.2L Hemi engine and a carbon fiber body that screams performance. And let's not forget the exquisite 2019 Ferrari 488 spider, a final year production model with a 660-horsepower twin-turbo V8 engine that commands attention and respect in the supercar realm.
As the auction unfolds, the adrenaline surges with a custom 1965 Corvette stealing the spotlight, equipped with a 427 cubic inch custom fuel injection engine and a trimic 5-speed manual transmission. The bids fly high, emotions run wild, and the thrill of the auction floor is palpable. The episode culminates in a whirlwind of high-stake bids, heart-pounding moments, and the unmistakable allure of classic and exotic cars that ignite the passion of automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
