Would you want to crash any car at 200km/hr? It should be capable of 200km/hr easily enough, definitely.

Not a lot of "give" in that McLaren accident... am I right in thinking the F1 uses race-style safety harnesses or is it just a normal seatbelt? I know it didn't have an airbag... I've got this feeling that the car would come out of an accident in much better shape than the battered and bruised driver!

I expect many supercars have similar crash characteristics to the F1, but then many modern supercars also have as many airbags as saloon cars so they're probably a little more forgiving to the human body in a crash.

And this is a car similar to mine in a crash (the synthesized voice is a bit weird...):



Yeah, ouch... Anyone else want to post their cars getting destroyed?

Still, it's a hell of a lot better than those Chinese deathtraps!

WTF? Why is Steven Hawking narrating that one...?

Edit:

💡 I guess Volvos ARE safer.

Put it this way - I've never owned a French car. Even the trim level is the same, although mine's the 2 litre turbo rather than the 2.3 NA.

Not sure if there are videos out there for the old Mini, but I'm not entirely sure I'd want to see them anyway - old Minis are rubbish in accidents; your legs are the crumple zone.
