That is how most cars performed in the offset test when they first started doing them. The manufacturers were all screaming that the test was too severe and to pass it would make cars too heavy and undriveable. Very few cars passed back then. Now they all do.
How fast were these done at?That was safe compared to this:
And yeah the 2nd one is not from china, If I remember right 80s transporter
I think it was 50 or 80. This was a part of a top 10 worst and the 3 best (7-10 not 1-3) were in much much better shape than this (broken legs and ribs not desitegrated body). So a normal car would probably be just fine. It's a regular test, not aimed at driving through the wall.
The transporter had something like a ton of cinderblock in the bed, FWIW.
This.
It was intentionally overloaded to test the facility to see how it would hold up under extreme conditions. Notice the lack of crash test dummies or any of the normal markings used on test cars. The fact is, the 1986-1991 Vanagon was one of the stoutest cars on the road at the time. They held up very well in frontal collisions.
That's the front crumple zone to protect your recent purchases, and reduce the return rate.
