The auction will be held on September 25-27 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and Barrett-Jackson will waive all bidding and consignment fees so that 100 percent of the sale price will go to charity. Powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine with 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, the Challenger SRT Hellcat is the fastest and most powerful muscle car ever.
