It’s quite difficult to see a Ferrari on the road. It’s almost impossible to see a Ferrari 125S moving. But MisterBeast brought this rare opportunity to gain followers on the social network, even if only through a screen – Photo: MisterBeast
MrBeast is the world’s leading YouTuber with easy access to many of the most amazing vehicles and buildings. But sitting in a rare $100 million Ferrari may be the most impressive of all.
According to this YouTuber, the car is so valuable that a representative of the museum is the only person on Earth who is allowed to drive it, and only under extremely strict conditions, on a nearby bridge.
What is so special about that car?

To know the value of the car, you will have to go into the history of Ferrari. Founder Enzo Ferrari was originally director of sports cars at Alfa Romeo. In 1946, he came up with the idea of building a sports car using a V12 engine. The idea was so bold that it created a stir in the car industry at the time.
V12 engines were not a new idea at the time, but coupled with 1.5L capacity, it was a different story.
Together with Gioacchino Colombo, Enzo Ferrari made it a reality with the birth of the Ferrari 125 S, considered the first car of the “Prancing Horse” company.

The Roadster has some Alfa Romeo-inspired lines, with a roofline so long that it looks like it could cover a mini car. Powered by a 1.5L V12 engine, 5-speed gearbox, producing 118 horsepower, the Ferrari 125 S competed in its first race in 1947. Unfortunately, the car could not finish the competition. But just two weeks later the car won the Rome Grand Prix.
With that kind of value, it’s no surprise that the Peterson Museum (Los Angeles, California, USA) had to store the Ferrari 125S in a “vault”. This is the name of that safe area of the building which is always kept at an ideal temperature level and is able to withstand earthquakes. Only a representative of the museum would occasionally “rev the engine” to maintain the car.

MisterBeast became one of the very few people to sit in Ferrari’s first car. However, before this could happen, police had to block all roads leading to the bridge next to the museum, where the Ferrari 125 S travels. People also have to sweep the road, fill every pothole and every obstacle to ensure that no damage is done to the $100 million car.
