Mr. Beast, the world’s most popular YouTuber with more than 184 million subscribers, has gone live with a video featuring three vehicles from the Petersen Automotive Museum.
The new video, titled “$1 Vs $100,000,000 Car!,” features the YouTube star “exploding, sailing, driving and even flying” a variety of cars valued at a total of more than $250 million and has already reached over 67 million views. Filmed on the streets of Los Angeles, Mr. Beast rode in two of the museum’s most iconic automobiles: the 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta roadster, which was a gift to Henry Ford from Enzo Ferrari and is the only vehicle of its kind, and the 1956 Jaguar XKSS, which was owned and regularly driven by Steve McQueen. These vehicles are valued at more than $80 million.
The video concludes with Mr. Beast riding with Dana Williamson, the museum’s conservator, in the $100 million 1947 Ferrari 125 S on LA’s iconic 6th Street Bridge. One of just two in existence, the 125 S is the first Ferrari ever made and also the first Ferrari equipped with the now-legendary V-12 engine. Before the drive, the bridge was closed, repaired and cleaned to ensure nothing could damage the car.
