WARNING: For anyone who is not a total gear-head like me, this post may be of little or no interest to you. That being said, you have to admit…half-million AND MILLION dollar cars are pretty cool no matter what you think about cars, right? Yep, that’s what I thought. 
This was my second time going to the annual Barrett Jackson Auto Auction and Car Show, which plays host to 250,000 people every year. It is a week long event that features some of the most amazing classic cars, modern day super cars, and even vintage and new race cars. Truly an epic event for anyone who is a car nut like me.
There is a new class of super-ultra-cars that are incredibly light weight, high in horsepower, and well, insanely fast. Those are usually my favorite cars to hang around, so I took most of my pics/video of these rare, exotic monsters.
I took my Flip Mino HD and digital camera to the event grab some footage/pics. Some of the most epic vehicles:
Koenigsegg CCX
4.7 L twin-supercharged V8
806 hp and 782 ft-lb of torque
Price: $1.2 million
Gumpert Apollo
640hp Audi V8 Engine.
Weight: 2400lbs
0-60 in 3.0 seconds.
Price: $425,000
Cadillac LMP-02
600 hp Twin Turbocharged V8
1984lbs (it’s a damn racecar)
Price: Auctioned off for only $145,000. This is the deal of a century. Some day this car may be worth MILLLLLLLLIONS of dollars!
Better start saving up! Check out my photo entire album here!
The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is looking like a piece of art. motor in the back might not be great for weight balance, but it sounds beautiful. Always loved the top-up door design.
I could not sleep once when I was driving my friend BMW. So who know how much time I would not sleep if I would seating in this cars.
Till
Wow.. all the cars look so good, especially the Cadillac LMP which the price is truly cheap.
Nice cars, If i’d have enough money than i’d love to buy Gumpert Apollo, its sporty with passion…
I am huge fan of any tip of cars so I would only say ‘WOW’. I am wondering what is the filing be in them.Especially because they are so expensive.
Nina
Wow, I wish that I was there. I think that I would not sleep for 2 days from excitement.Maybe a whole week.Who know.
Koenigsegg CCX will make me crazy , but $1.2 million is much hmmm i will think about the two cars next to it .
I don’t know what to say. I am stunned.I am huge fan of any type of cars. So this is like haven to me. Or maybe more of that.
Mark
Which one of these cars is yours?
Awesome! I dig the Cadillac LMP-02. It’s an absolute beauty.
I’d rather choose the first model-Koenigsegg CCX to dream of.The price is not the main thing,the main thing is the dream.
@QuickPWN, and I wondering he same. Do you know is it possible to jailbreak ipod touch 2g. Thanks.
Mark
I like the Cadillac LMP-02 if you have money right now you can get good deals on lots of thing widh I had lots of cash right now
I like the Cadillac LMP-02 now is the time to buy things if you have cash to spend you can get great deals like these
I like the Cadillac LMP-02 now is a great time to buy stuff if you have lots of cash
The person that won the Saleen really did get it for a good deal. I remember it being around 1mil…
-Mike
If I had to choose from all of these cars, I would take the Koenigsegg CCX.
Amazing looks of Koenigsegg CCX.
amazing really
Tell us what car you bought there Nate
Wow, these really are awesome cars. But I don’t quite understand how could the the Saleen go for only $375,000
Andy
I was greatly impressed by Koenigsegg CCX! What a model ! What a price! I’d rather wait when the prices go down.
Cadillac LMP-02 is the car I am dreaming about. Just look at it! It is a pity I can just look and admire but not get it!
Gumpert Apollo. Hybrids aren’t what most people think they are: the electric motor only runs at low speeds
Cadillac LMP 02 will also compete in selected American Le Mans Series events in North America.
Amazing collection of cars. I like Gumpert Apollo with looks sports car.
@anny – you can drive a simulation version in Forza 2 for Xbox.
I can see where you’re going with the Koenigsegg CCX Nate. Very fresh and sleek.
Oh my! These are eye candy indeed, but somehow they dont look too comfortable….
mostly on the pocket
Koenigsegg CCX Yumm and the Apollo, the top car on Top Gear for their lap I do believe. The Apollo ain’t that good looking though
.
The Cadillac LMP-02 reminds me of those racing cars my brother used to play with when he was young. Not really as sleek as the others..
Is the Cadillac road legal? I always wanted one. You see all sorts of cars here from lambos to zondars but nobody ever drives an “F1 lookalike” (I’m not too sure how to call this type of low Le Mans racers).
Dude that car is simply amazing especially the black one
Wow. This is like paradise on earth for my eyes.
. There is so many beautiful cars in one place.
Mark
I bought the Cadillac LMP. I will be restoring the car and taking it to the track. For those who are interest I can you updated on the restoration process.
Dan
Dan, what track will you be going to? My business partners and I also race, but we are moving back to Seattle pretty soon (currently reside in Arizona).
Hey Nate, I really love cars! The Gumpert Apollo, the second car you have pictures there, really reminds me of a Daytona Prototype!
I wish I had the money for any of those cars! That would be so awesome!
Till then,
Jean
The Cadillac LMP will be run at Pacific Raceways and Portland. For charity events
Koenigsegg CCX Yumm and the Apollo
Wow….
This car is very nice and beautiful, i always want to buy this beautiful car, and not only me but every 1 want to buy this.
Koenigsegg CCX seems sexy and fantastic i wish i have sufficient money to purchase dream car, you got awesome cars , hope we get soon and reach to our dream.
Every time I see posts about those exotic cars I feel bad about myself. I realise that I’ll never ever own something like that and it makes me pretty sad.
I hope the recession won’t hit such companies.
Wow….there are different types of car and nice info about car auctions.The lens is great as it has got lots of useful information.:)
Way out of my price range!
I want to buy 2nd one that is awesome.
Hey Nate, just wanted to give you the heads up, but the video of the 1000HP Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is no longer available
Till then,
Jean
They are flashy. They are fast. And they are very, very expensive. They are the exotic sports cars, the ultimate icons of speed, style and money. Exotic sports cars are built using cutting-edge technology and designed from a purely aesthetic point of view.
Those exotic cars are awesome.It would be really difficult to maintain balance in such heavy weight cars.
I going to be dream about these cars for days
I hope some day i can afford one
