I would say steering wheels aren't supposed to give the driver an uppercut to the chin, and the seats aren't meant to pitch down so violently on impact. I hid the doors (they are physically there, but they're made invisible) to show the interior damage:
Hiding all the non-structural parts (body panels, drivetrain, etc.) shows the damages a little more clearly:įinally, I compared the ETK 800 and the Bastion against a flat wall at 100 km/h (once again, totally invalid for comparison with real crash tests, but perfectly valid for just comparing the two cars). In terms of actual cabin damage, the SBR4 is definitely doing the worst here.Īt 100 km/h, the bastion actually seems to be winning, however a look inside shows a different picture:Ĭompare this with the ETK's interior, which despite looking more beaten up, has actually suffered a smaller decrease of driver space than the Bastion. They all do relatively well at this low speed, however the bastion's front structure seems to suffer the most (the front left wheel is practically in the firewall, this a little strange at such a low speed). I chose a high speed because it makes the differences even more obvious.Īnyhow, I did try 4 cars (Vivace, ETK 800, SBR4, Bastion) at the usual speed of 64 km/h in a small overlap test against a solid wall.
Click to expand.It should be noted that the speed is completely irrelevant if you're just comparing two cars: it's a fair comparison if both cars are at the same speed, as they're both dealing with the same situation (it just becomes dissimilar to real life tests).
