First 'Vette ZR1 goes for a million, SRT8 challenger fetches $400k; Robosaurus isn't amused

Barrett Jackson auctions saw a number of cars going out for

Corvette ZR1 sells for a million

big money. The first Challenger SRT8 that will roll out of the production lines

has been auctioned off for $400,000. Challenger has not even entered production

yet, but its hype ensured that it collected the neat pile of money. The car

will carry a plaque to identify it as the first ever Challenger SRT8 to roll

out of the factory.

The fastest and most powerful Corvette to date, the ZR1 had

a buyer who was willing to part ways with 1 million dollars to get hands on the

first ZR1 ever built. Both the cars sold way above the suggested price in the

market, the SRT 8 will cost nearly $37,995 while the ZR1 fetched nearly ten

times its price tag. Proceeds from the auction will go to various charities.

Another notable ‘vehicle’ sold at the auction was the

Robosaurus. The 29ton, 40-foot robot breathes fire through its nostrils and indulges itself in chewing and crushing cars with its bare teeth. Winning bidder got to take home the monstrous robot, a truckload of spare parts and accessories, and the special effects controls that make the wicked robot do its job with style, all for $575,000.
