Not sure when this was first time around. I certainly hadn't seen it before. Here's a 120mph crash test on a Ford Focus:

Ironically this was a recommended video after this dodgy street-drifting piece:

Which is very well made, but by c*nts.

Thats crazy stuff, that focus is the size of a smart car!
That night life videos pritty good, i bet its well fun drifting like that :laugh:
-
That's horrific.
-
wow at the first video
but that into a solid wall, i would like to see it into another car at that speed..
-
Makes you think.....

Soooo reminds me of Grand Tourismo :cool:

Just think, that's not far of what would happen if two 60mph cars had a head on :shocked:

Frightening

Believe you me the common things that people hit at that speed are just as solid as that brick wall.
For instance the pillars of bridges on dual carriageways or parked articulated lorries in lay by's. Neither of them budge an inch when you hit them in a car. Although they have a slightly different effect due to surface area but the same inevitable end.
However i would think even at 70mph in a focus of that age you would be doing well against that brick wall to survive.

Its way way far off. Two cars hitting head on at 60mph would be less than a 3rd of the damage and the forces considerably reduced to an extent where it would be survivable. That test would be comparible to a two car head on smash at 120mph with a combined speed of 240mph. There is a significant difference in hitting a stationary solid object and a soft, energy absorbing car. Having that focus hit that block at 60mph would be the equivilent of a head on smash at 60mph with the combined speed of 120mph. Don't ya just love physics.

All this rear wheel drive propaganda on a quattro/fwd forum :grin: :grin: :grin:
The lads seem to be having fun, I can't blame them for doing what they do, if its a grin on your face its worthwhile :afro:

It was bad, but this was horrific in my eyes! :laugh:
