MrBeast crashed the world’s fastest electric race car at an event in Miami. 

The star YouTuber got the chance to drive Formula E’s GEN3 Evo car at an Evo Sessions event on Thursday (Mar. 6). The vehicle is reportedly so fast that it is “capable of outdragging an F1 car to 60mph by some 30 percent, in a time of just 1.81 seconds" according to the FIA Formula E

MrBeast did multiple laps around the circuit of the Miami International Autodrome. The first lap went smoothly for the YouTuber, but just as he entered the second lap, he spun the car into a wall.

It sounds more serious than what it actually was — MrBeast wasn’t hurt and was able to jump out of the car once medical officials arrived at the scene. 

Check out a video of the moment below.

MrBeast shook off the crash with a joke about doing “the thing” when he spoke to the event’s officials afterwards. 

The collision may have bruised his ego, but MrBeast has plenty to be excited about — mainly that he’s become a billionaire. 

MrBeast recently appeared on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO podcast in which he confirmed that he is on paper, even if what he actually has in his bank account is much less. 

"On paper, yeah. But in my actual bank account, I have less than one million," said Beast. "[I pay myself] a little bit, but I also have some assistants and things like that, so I try to pay myself what I spend personally, a month, just to stay even."

MrBeast added that he sees money as "fuel to grow a business" and that people should find business opportunities that they "enjoy, are better for mother nature, or Earth, or people" as it would lead to a "fulfilled life."
