LAS VEGAS – Oct. 10, 2017 – Barrett-Jackson is filling its 10th Annual Las Vegas Auction docket with some of the rarest and most coveted supercars that will cross the block Oct. 19-21, 2017, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The world’s most desirable marques will be well-represented during the auction, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz. Among the most anticipated is a ’15 Porsche 918 Spyder (Lot #750) that is the world’s only hybrid model painted in Voodoo Blue.

“We’re bringing some serious international car power to our 10th Annual Las Vegas Auction,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Supercars represent what every child dreamed of and aspired to have in their garage as adults. We’re giving our Las Vegas guests a chance to make those dreams a reality with an incredible selection of supercars from an early ’80s Ferrari to today’s rarest Porsche. I have no doubt these cars will inspire the next generation of supercar owners.”

Among the hotly anticipated supercars starring on the Las Vegas Auction block is a ’15 Porsche 918 Spyder (Lot #750). It is the world’s only 918 Spyder painted to code from Porsche Germany in breathtaking Voodoo Blue. Its hybrid V8 engine, with separate electric motor, produces 887 horsepower and runs 0 to 65 in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph. One of only 918 built, this Porsche has been the centerpiece of the Rock and Roll Car Museum in Austin, Texas, and has less than 1,200 miles.

Two highly sought-after Ford GTs will also look to steal the show, including a 2005 Ford GT (Lot #755) that is #1,890 of 2,022 build in 2005, and #488 of 503 manufactured in Centennial White.
