1
Behind me are the most expensive cars in the world.
2
No joke. We got our hands on over $250 million worth of cars, one of them even costing $100 million.
3
And we're going to be exploding sailing, driving and even flying all of these cars to show you why they're so expensive.
4
Starting with this $1 car, literally a rust bucket.
5
Why are you selling this car for a dollar?
6
Well, you see, it's pretty much worthless.
7
And I can't put any time or money in this thing.
8
If you grab this dollar, the deal is final.
9
Now, obviously, this is a piece of garbage, but when you spend 20 K on repairs, it actually runs.
10
All right, let's get this bad boy started.
11
I do not think it would start How is this thing driving?
12
It smells like smoke!
13
this is crazy.
14
One dollar car!
15
One dollar car!
16
- One dollar car! - One dollar car!
17
One dollar car!
18
All right, well, that was the $1 car.
19
Glad I wasn't in that.
20
Bringing the $100,000 car, which drives itself.
21
No joke. No one is currently in this car, and it is moving.
22
Let's see what 100 grand gets you.
23
There's a lot of room in this car.
24
This is one of the few cars that can actually fit all my kids.
25
- Do you have kids? - Yeah, all of them.
26
Let's take it for a little spin.
27
The real reason you're buying a Tesla is because it can drive itself.
28
All right. I'm no longer driving the car.
29
Oh, it's switching lanes.
30
Oh, it is literally driving itself.
31
I'm not touching the gas and I'm not touching the steering wheel.
32
Jimmy, are you telling me now you can take a nap while driving?
33
- No, don't do that. - Oh ok.
34
Now, let's see how fast the car goes.
35
It jerks you backwards.
36
That's terrifying.
37
This is just the beginning.
38
Later, we have a car that literally transforms into an airplane and flies.
39
But now. Oh look that lambo.
40
Oh, I almost hit it.
41
Bro just left the keys in here. How'd nobody steal it?
42
Even though this cost twice as much, it has half as much space.
43
I don't know if I take 200k for this car because I don't fit in it.
44
Did they even know how to drive a Lamborghini?
45
- How would you do fourth? - I think you just click the shifter.
46
All right. And now we're on the road.
47
Oh, that sound.
48
Oh my gosh. She sounds angry Hey, she's got some power.
49
Oh, my gosh.
50
This car is insane.
51
I'm barely touching the gas, and we're flying.
52
This might be the fastest car I've ever driven.
53
If you need to compensate for something, this is definitely the car.
54
And now we're at the $300,000 car, and this is supposedly the safest car on the planet.
55
It's like a tank.
56
Is this a military-grade car?
57
Yeah. This is so high up.
58
You were also just in the Lamborghini.
59
True, true perspective.
60
Let's go over what makes this car so safe.
61
First things first is the bulletproof windows that are this thick.
62
The car is also encased in explosive proof armor that we're going to put to the test later on.
63
- Karl, do you want to press the button? - So bad.
64
- You want to hit the smokescreen button? - Please?
65
That is crazy.
66
We have a literal smokescreen.
67
Oh, my gosh, It smells.
68
But the best part is none of these features are what makes the car really safe.
69
It's the little explosive proof frame around the car.
70
And we're going to be the first people to test it.
71
And for reference, before we blow up the $300,000 car, we're going to blow up on normal cars to see if the passengers survive.
72
Three, two, one.
73
Not only is it on fire, but the mannequins literally flew out of the car.
74
We blew a sunroof into that thing.
75
It doesn't handle it well at all.
76
And before we blow up this car, I'm going to put feastables inside Better protect my freaking chocolate.
77
So supposedly this car is explosion proof, but that's never been tested.
78
Let's see if the mannequins and even more importantly, the Feastables survive.
79
Three, two, one.
80
It just jumped.
81
The car survived the blast with only a few minor scrapes.
82
It put a dent in the window. Wait. Hold on, hold on.
83
Where are the feastables? Chandler, get out the way.
84
The feastables survive.
85
If you're looking for a car that can take a bomb, I officially recommend this one.
86
But since you're not going to war anytime soon for only an extra $200,000, you could get this $500,000 boat car.
87
On land this is a normal car.
88
You can't really tell the difference. But here's the fun part.
89
Just drive it in the water and it turns into a boat.
90
We'll let Karl go first.
91
- Here we go. - Oh, this doesn't feel right.
92
This doesn't feel right.
93
I'm having them go first just so I can make sure it works.
94
Are we sinking, no we are floating!
95
Oh, it looks like it worked. Let's see what happens.
96
Oh, my God. We're driving in the water.
97
Oh, so you press this until you hear a beep.
98
That's a beep.
99
Now, I should be able to drive this like a normal car, but on the water.
100
Thea hold on.
101
This is incredible.
102
This was literally a car five seconds ago.
103
Yeah! I would be out there with them, but I get carsick and boat sick.
104
Oh, hey there.
105
Oh my God. All right, Karl!
106
Karl! They should not have let me drive this We got it baby.
107
Rule number one, stay really far away from Kris.
108
We're driving in circles.
109
Oh, they're doing donuts in the water, they're making a whirlpool.
110
I just met this guy 5 seconds ago.
111
We're going to race three, two, one. Go!
112
He is so much faster.
113
He's not even trying. Come on. Faster.
114
Oh, we're destroying him.
115
- He's slowing down. - I can't believe we just beat him.
116
This thing goes way too fast.
117
I can't think of a better way to celebrate a win than a Feastables Bar.
118
Hey, have some feastables.
119
I got it. Feastables the number one chocolate on the planet.
120
If you're not eating it, you should fix that.
121
The fact that all three of us are driving cars on the ocean is insane.
122
Jimmy, I love this thing so much.
123
The craziest part is this is just the beginning of this video.
124
The next car on our list can literally fly.
125
And since I'm afraid of heights, I'll let Karl and Nolan take this one.
126
Dude, what is happening?
127
This car is not only completely street legal, but it also has wings that can take it to literally 8000 feet in the sky.
128
There's literally a propeller on that car.
129
Stay here and watch it take off.
130
I'm going to go in that plane and follow it.
131
I just don't believe this is actually going to fly It's taking off!
132
The wheels aren't on the ground anymore.
133
It's literally a car that's flying.
134
These cars are getting crazier and crazier.
135
I can't even believe my eyes.
136
There is a car a mile above my head right now.
137
Oh, this so cool.
138
I feel like for $600,000, this is a steal.
139
Prepare for landing.
140
Up next is the $1 million car.
141
But I didn't only bring one up.
142
As you can imagine, there's a lot of $1 million cars out there.
143
So to make sure I brought your favorite, we got the ten coolest $1 million cars.
144
And as per usual, we have the entire racetrack to ourselves.
145
So I let my friends choose whatever car they wanted.
146
I'm going to ride with you. You pick.
147
Look at this baby.
148
Am I going to fit in this?
149
All right. I'll try not to text and drive.
150
It's private property. It's technically legal here.
151
Oh, here we go.
152
We're never going to die.
153
Don't jinx it.
154
I feel like I'm in NASCAR.
155
I'm having so much fun. This feels like Fast & Furious.
156
There's just something so masculine about driving over priced loud cars.
157
On a private racetrack.
158
On a private racetrack.
159
Hold on. I got to send a text.
160
No, I'm kidding.
161
- I'm crashing this. - Please no.
162
Karl! Oh, my God.
163
We're doing donuts in a million dollar car.
164
While the gang is whizzing around the track, I want to show you the next car.
165
This $2 million limited edition hydrogen car.
166
No joke. This car is completely powered by hydrogen and actually exhales drinkable water as exhaust, but the car still being developed.
167
So this is just a prototype.
168
I don't think I've ever struggled this much to get in a car.
169
All right. Let's see how she closes.
170
First impressions, door kind of slow.
171
We're about to turn on the road.
172
This is a really big deal because this car has never been driven on a road before.
173
Oh, you should have told me before I got here.
174
They built this car as a proof of concept.
175
So driving on the road is questionable.
176
Well, look at that lady over there.
177
That person over there is literally filming our car.
178
And while we're driving, I want to tell you about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 phone.
179
And what's special about this phone is it literally folds in half.
180
Boom, half the size.
181
Also, I'd wear a seat belt, but it doesn't have they haven't gone that far yet.
182
Folding screen on the flip five makes the phone fit in your pocket better and also allows you to use two apps at the same time.
183
- Show them. - Let me show you.
184
On the bottom half of the phone, I have Google and on the top half We're watching a MrBeast video.
185
Oh, snap. - Bro, this boy gets up there. - Yeah.
186
Even though this car uses hydrogen instead of gas, it still has a range of over a thousand miles, top speed of 221 miles per hour.
187
And another cool thing about this phone is it can record in 4K 60 fps.
188
You can even record while it's folded.
189
In fact The Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra is the official vlog camera of the channel.
190
Listen to that engine.
191
- What? - That's such a cool sound.
192
It literally has a front facing camera even when you close it down.
193
The Flip5 is the most innovative phone Samsung has ever made.
194
Click the link in the description to get one right now.
195
Do it. There's a lot of cars around me and everywhere.
196
Get away from my $2 million car.
197
I'll see you at the next car.
198
Back at the racetrack, we have the most exotic and powerful car yet.
199
Costing $10 million.
200
This Koenigsegg Vader is the only one in existence.
201
So this is the world's fastest production car.
202
Oh, my gosh.
203
And with literal crushed diamonds in the paint, the insurance companies only let the owner drive.
204
That's probably the coolest door I've ever seen in my life.
205
You're crazy.
206
- All right, let's do this. - Let's do it.
207
Fun fact, I made a grown man cry.
208
- Really? - Yeah. I scared the crap out of him.
209
I'm going to put my head back so I don't get whiplash.
210
How was it so fast?
211
I've never...
212
Watch out for that.
213
The reason this car is one of the fastest on the planet is because of its twin turbocharged V8 engine and the fact that its entire frame is made out of air core carbon fiber, making it weigh almost 500 pounds less than a Lamborghini.
214
I've never witnessed anything like this before.
215
It's like riding in a roller coaster.
216
My heart is pounding.
217
Well, that was awesome. Thank you, sir.
218
Thank you. Let's go hang out with Jay Leno and see what a $20 million car looks like.
219
All right. Jay Leno was the king of The Tonight Show for over 20 years.
220
Today, he's the proud owner of one of the most impressive car collections in the world, including this $20 million McLaren F1.
221
Did it just start doing that because of you?
222
It's high tech.
223
Robbers don't try that.
224
It's more comparable to Nolan's mom than another car.
225
That's right. Exactly.
226
In fact, Nolan's mom was really the one they used as the benchmark.
227
- You guys want to go for a ride? - Of course.
228
There's no way to get in that middle seat. It's actually uncomfortable.
229
Oh, it's not bad.
230
Yeah, it's not bad. Did not look bad at all. It's comfortable.
231
It's oddly comfortable to have three seats like this.
232
Yeah, it is pretty interesting, Normally this is where the wheel would be.
233
Or if you were in England.
234
this is where the steering wheel would be.
235
You can be in England, you can be in America.
236
How long have you had this car?
237
- What year were you born? - 1998.
238
Actually, I got this in 98.
239
I popped out of my mom and he's like, "let's celebrate by buying this car." Here's the second part.
240
I'm your dad.
241
Interesting.
242
How much did you buy this for?
243
I paid 800,000, and I bought it.
244
And people thought you'll never get your money back.
245
But then it just went up and up and up and up.
246
And now there's $20 million, you know?
247
So it's crazy.
248
This car basically made you a millon dollars a year every year.
249
I guess that's fair to say.
250
Karl, what do you think of the car?
251
I like it. What's stopping you from buying one $19.9 million?
252
Have you ever had a wreck?
253
Oh, yeah. I've had a lot of wrecks.
254
Thank you so much for taking us out.
255
No problem, guys.
256
That was perfect.
257
These next two cars are so expensive, that they are literally locked away in a museum at all times.
258
Combined, they cost $80 million.
259
And somehow we convinced the museum to give us the cars.
260
Looking good.
261
And this is where the video gets literally mind blowing.
262
Crank this bad boy up.
263
That's 30 miller.
264
Let's hear that 50 miller.
265
Not going to lie. I like the $50 miller one a little better.
266
So I jumped in the $50 million car with Donut Media and Chandler got in the $30 million car with Beau Boeckmann, the car legend.
267
You ready? - Are you ready? - I'm ready.
268
Let's do this.
269
The reason the car that Chandler's in is so expensive is because it was specifically constructed as a gift from the founder of Ferrari to the founder of Ford.
270
This is the only version of this Ferrari ever made in human history.
271
Watch out for this bump.
272
No scraping.
273
You don't really notice how, like, crappy the street is until you drive something that's $50 million.
274
The car we're in is the most expensive Jaguar in existence.
275
It was the legendary actor Steve McQueen's daily driver, and he got so many speeding tickets driving it, his license was actually suspended.
276
I'm noticing every single pothole now.
277
And because these cars are so expensive, we have an entire police escort dedicated to making sure nobody comes close to the cars.
278
This is insane.
279
Hey, get some speed.
280
- How's it drive? - Beautifully.
281
Oh my hat! Oh well.
282
While we were all having fun, Beau Boeckmann pushed this $30 million car to its absolute limit.
283
Wait, wait, wait. Hold on.
284
Hold on. The car is stuck.
285
Hold on one second.
286
We hit it too... too hard.
287
The $30 million car stalled.
288
We're going to hop out of these things before we break them.
289
Let's go drive the $100 million world's first Ferrari.
290
Most people would imagine $100 million car would look something more like this.
291
But you'd be surprised to find out that this is the $100 million car.
292
This car is so historic and valuable that this museum representative is the only person on earth allowed to drive it.
293
It's only allowed to be driven on this bridge.
294
We had cops completely closed the roads.
295
We even had street cleaners fill in every pothole and clean the entire street to ensure that nothing damages this $100 Million car.
296
This is going to be crazy.
297
All right. And now we're on the bridge.
298
Oh, my God.
299
Look at that.
300
$100 million barreling down the street.
301
Oh, I keep losing my hat.
302
He lost his hat.
303
That's the second time.
304
Most expensive car comes with a free hat.
305
Come on. Come on!
306
This is awesome.
307
Name one thing more fun than this.
308
All right. Floor it.
309
Let's go. Oh, my God. It's awesome.
310
I hope you guys enjoyed the video Let's drop a nuke on the bridge.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
