  The convex hull of several i.i.d. beta distributed random vectors in $\mathbb
R^d$ is called the random beta polytope. Recently, the expected values of their
intrinsic volumes, number of faces, normal and tangent angles and other
quantities have been calculated, explicitly and asymptotically. In this paper,
we aim to investigate the asymptotic behavior of the beta polytopes with
extremal intrinsic volumes. We suggest a conjecture and solve it in dimension
2. To this end, we obtain some general limit relation for a wide class of
$U$-$\max$ statistics whose kernels include the perimeter and the area of the
convex hull of the arguments.
