"The Focus was obliterated"... No kidding? what was he expecting, the air bags to pop out and save the dummies?
I'd like to see an American version where everything would burst into flames and pieces of car rain down everywhere ![]()

Goddamn
It's a relevant test too, think of the amount of head-on collissions occur in Australia on 110 zone highways. Well, quite a few in WA anyway.

I think I would prefer to see 2 cars crash at 110KMH. That would be more relevant. |

That was unexpected.....doh.
Slam a car at 200kmh into a completely immoveable object and it gets smashed. Wow, shock.

Would have been safer in a bigger car with a bit more metal, like a falcon

![]() Just crazy amount of damage though. Thats the sort of thing you should be shown when you pass your driving test.

Sobering to notice that at 200km/h the airbags had barely even become halfway inflated before the whole eingine/bonnet/dash came in to sit with the driver and passenger.
A real human would be turned into something resembling the floor of an Abbatoir. there'd be no recognisable features. I would love to have seen that car close up, as 5th gear only seemed to briefly look at the aftermath. |

I conducted my own test in my new Focus earlier on in the year:
http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/6...2773671076.jpg Oops. Thats what happens when someone accidentally reverses across the freeway: http://g.co/maps/kkq89 He was in the emergency lane, wanting to tail back into the grass towards the trees to turn around and drive up the grass to help his friend who had broken down, wanting to show off and spin the wheels, he punched it in reverse except had the steering wheel the wrong way. Then I t-boned him when I was coming down the left lane. The worst part is the airbag, its so freakin' loud, and the pre-tensioners on the seatbelts when they rip you back, you're pushing forwards on the belt very hard and its ripping it back into the reel by 5cm, doesn't sound like much but its putting a lot of pressure on a small strip across your chest and lap, I come out with purple bruises over me from it, but it saved my life so I can't complain lol. Its pretty obvious that when you start pushing high speeds like that on the test, there will be no chance of survival, but holy crap look at whats left of the car. I guess if you where in the boot you might have survived, LOL. Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 22-10-2011 at 12:24 PM. |

Stupid test, stupid comparison and he has it completely wrong anyway.
"It's the equivalent of 2 cars hitting each other at 100kp/h each". Really Mr ******? Well, let me introduce you to Mr Newton who if alive today would offer some rebuttle to your sensationalist BS. The car hitting the wall at 200kph is equivalent to two cars travelling at 200kph each, then hitting each other dead on and being the exact same construction and mass. As each car absorbs the energy of the sudden deceleration itself, the video shows nothing more than a car hitting a wall at 200kph. Which again, is why I say this is a completely pointless test. Sort of like saying; "Hey, I'm gonna stick my willy in a meat grinder and see what happens". Pointless.

Exactly mate, a really pointless exercise. This video should not be used to gather data for real world crash scenarios as I would highly doubt seeing a crash involving 1 car travelling 200km/h into a concrete wall in the real world. And if there were 2 cars involved instead of a concrete wall, the crash would have been very different as the second car would have absorbed just as much energy as the first car (asuming the cars are the same make/model etc). This is more of a "mmm what if" scenario....

People are reading WAY too much into this 'test' I dont think it was done for any gain or crash test info, i mean look how many cameras and data points are on a proper crash test car. This one had nothing it was for pure 'shock' factor and as i said above to show the worst case scenario.

a not unexpected outcome , now if they wanted to make it really interesting and more true to life, instead of an immovable reinforced concrete block,............... but basically someone giving it heaps(200 kph) head on into someone driving on the limit at 100 kph, why did`nt they do this instead ?

Two cars head on at 100kph would be a more relivant test....
The stupid idea that one car at 200kph is the same as two cars at 100kph has been shown to be wrong..

they state in type that this test is more severe than the standard 90-100kph impact in the video they also state that it is the equivalent of 2 cars colliding at 120mph each it is to show what can happen in a worst case scenario - and for the enjoyment of the producers ![]() |
