You ram Supercar into a concrete wall at 120 klicks?

Look n' see.

You know what I love? I love that the doors openned after that. The panel popped right off, but they could still open the doors.

Leave the jaws of life at home, fellers, it's a Smart!

Wenn wir an der smart fortwo anschauen, denn sehen wir, daß die Verforumngszone ???? daß der Fahrzeug mitgegeben haben zür Ergänze aufgebraucht worden ist. Wir sehen daß der Kunstoff Teile natürlich nicht zu Verformungs beitragen obwohl der Stahl Teile dahinter. Daß ist auf sicherheits für der Fahrer wichtig.

Nicht nur der A-Säule müss steif ausgebildet sein, müss auch der Unterbereich des Fahrzeug steif sein. Das heißt das Turschwelle soll nicht unverformt bleiben bis zum Ende der Fahrkrachzelle.

So können wir, obwohl der Krach vorne passiert ist, durch diese steife Struktur, die Kräfte in den Hinteren bereich des Fahrzeugs einleiden, und auf diese Zonen für der Energie abnutzen.


Wow...Transcribing everyday German is not nearly as easy as it is in language lessons...

They DID have subtitles, you know. ;)

That was a cool video.

Well, that's a lot better than being filled with shrapnel!

[thebitterguy]

It's NEVER good being filled with shrapnel.

It was incredible how the one side looked nearly fine. The bloody thing nearly flipped right over the barrier!

They are a resilient vehicle. Designed to transmit impacts away from the passengers.

Is that footage from Top Gear?

[thebitterguy]

Dunno. Charles found it on Google. Is that a show in England?

"Oh sure, they're fuel efficient. A cheap. And cool. But I'd never get in one! They just don't look safe."

Something to forward to the unbelievers. :)

[thebitterguy]

Ayep. I'm gonna retitle it "why you gotta be a hatah?"

Pimp my Smart, please.

Specifically, I'd like the electronic limiting on speed to be removed. Also, I want nitros. And hydraulics. And some variety of spoiler.

Ah, Brabus. Is there nothing they can't do?
