Crash Testing: MINI Cooper vs Ford F150 - Mimau - 24.05.2005

finde ich noch beeindruckend eek!

Wow. Both of these vehicles hit the exact same off-set barrier at 40mph. Now there's no question what would win in a head-on collesion between the two but then again the majority of accidents involve only a single car. All you have to do is look at the dummy's legs and you can get an idea of what would happen if you hit a wall in either car. The MINI had almost no intrusion which "indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained very well" - the F150 on the other hand had "Major collapse of the occupant compartment that left little survival space for the driver."

I'm interested in how a company could create a modern vehicle that could perform so badly on this test. Furthermore Ford had lots of space to work with to make this a safe vehicle. For BMW/MINI to do the job in 1/4 the space is what engineering is all about.

Nach diesem miserablen Test hatte Ford sich übrigens den F150 vorgenommen und jetzt besteht der alle Crashtest problemlos. Steht auf der selben Seite...
