As a YouTuber, the number one obsession is always views and engagement on your videos. Lately, YouTube has seen a rise in shocking and controversial content designed purely to grab attention and spark curiosity. This trend isn’t new in Vietnam either. But what Russian YouTuber Litvin just did is on a whole different level. He stunned the internet by literally setting fire to a luxury BMW in a wild stunt that looked like it came straight from an action film.
On February 7, Litvin, who has over 8 million followers on YouTube, dropped a shocking video where he burned a car to celebrate the new year. This wasn’t his first time pulling off such a stunt. Two years ago, he destroyed his own Mercedes-Benz AMG GT because he wasn’t happy with the product quality. This time, he targeted a BMW M5 Competition.
What’s even crazier is that the BMW didn’t belong to Litvin but to his close friend. He drove the car onto the snow, doused it with gasoline, and casually grilled sausages nearby before launching the destruction with a “rocket arrow”, just like in medieval movies. The explosion was so powerful it knocked Litvin off his feet, even though he was standing at a safe distance.
The realistic, cinematic scenes left Litvin’s fans and the online community in awe. So much so that many forgot the BMW wasn’t even his. The video has already racked up over 6 million views and keeps climbing.
In a later interview, Litvin explained this wasn’t just a stunt for views. It was meant as a tribute to his close friend, the owner of the BMW, who passed away last year.
