Would that be the first vehicle to get a minus stars rating in NCAP tests?

It would be totally vapourised

Just seen the caption at the end as well

Maybe it should be called the population controller.

Schern · 30-06-2008, 23:37

I'm guessing it was loaded up though. Can't imagine there being enough weight to do that if it was empty.

Bigw2069 · 30-06-2008, 23:39

This is what happens at 70.........

gadgetman · 30-06-2008, 23:40

That's shocking. Imagine it carrying stuff, rather than empty!

Mind you, most trucks and vans dont fair much better as it is!

L-Y-K · 01-07-2008, 00:18

did a bit of youtubing a while back with train crashes! they do the same thing!

cheezemonkhai · 01-07-2008, 00:45

To be fair, if all the transits were replaced by them maybe white van man wouldn't be so keen to be up every cars ****.

Car would come off a lot better.

Taxi 219 · 01-07-2008, 03:53

yes totally agree with that.

Blade404 · 01-07-2008, 06:35

Maybe it's designed to save on car compactors?

Not this one....

YouTube - Chinese car crash test failure

Made by Chinese company Brilliance, it's the only car to be given zero stars by Euro NCAP

There is more strength in those foil trays you get your chinese takeaway in!

Isn't that a crash test on an old vw transporter though? Carried out to see how older cars stand up to todays standards?

I thought that too. Perhaps another Chinese IP theft? Anyway, laden or not, with something like that, having the engine and gearbox behind you is always going to be a bad thing in a frontal impact (I've noticed how not even the Japanese sell forward-control vans over here anymore...)
