At auction this weekend, Acura sold the first new 2017 NSX supercar to roll out of its factory for a whopping $1.2 million.

The red supercar sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona to NASCAR tycoon Rick Hendrick.

According to Acura, all proceeds from the auction will go to a pair of charitable organizations — the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and Camp Southern Ground.

"It was amazing to witness such generosity of spirit and passion for the new NSX," Acura vice president and general manager Jon Ikeda said in a statement.

"Mr. Hendrick will have the great satisfaction of owning and driving the very first next-generation NSX, and making a difference in the lives of thousands of children."

The second generation Acura NSX has been more than a decade in the making.
