Fully-functional 'TRON' lightcycle sells for $77,000 at auction

A fully-functional replica of the lightcycles used in TRON: Legacy sold for an astonishing $77,000 at an auto auction on Sunday.

It was sold by RM Auctions/Sotheby’s as part of the Andrews Collection. Built in 2011, the motorcycle features a 96V direct-drive electric motor with lithium batteries. The Andrews Collection had it built in 2011, a year after Legacy hit theaters and still works, as they did test it out.

The bike is black, with white accents, which light up and turn blue, just like in the film. Hopefully, the radio only plays Daft Punk music.

According to Gizmag, the bike was only expected to go for up to $40,000. Obviously, there were some big TRON fans in the crowd.

The most expensive car at the auction was a 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Cabriolet by Pininfarina, which went for a cool $7.6 million.

Disney will have to build some new lightcycles, since a third Tron movie is in the works. The franchise started with the original 1982 cult film and was followed by Legacy, released in 2010.
