This one has been circulating on the internet for a while and has also been discussed on a german forum. Basically this test was not realistic .
They smashed this doka with way over a 100km /h into a concrete wall.
Anycar will fold up with this kind of test.
Bye the way, this video was never ment to be made and surely never ment to be released.

Well at least it would be quick!

Hi, this is not a realistic scene. The doublecab was fully loaded with bags of cement and crashed with 120km/h in a non deformable barrier.

This video was not for public viewing. It's a part of an internal demo of a german crash-test-site.

When I was watching the T3 video I thought it was a bit fast to test it, reading what Boltze says about cement or concrte bags I say its too radical for a test...

More or less like this:

I don't know if they are testing the barrier or the dumper truck...

That test is for the concrete barrier not the truck. It is a barrier penetration test at 90deg. something not tested un Europe. The whole issue of UK safety barriers is fraught with issues.

What's not realistic?

A T25 doing 70 mph?

or

A double cab carrying cement?

or

There being non-deformable objects?

are there any vids of the t25 doing a crash test at the "right" speeds? ive seen a swedish test where they crashed a t25 into a volvo estate, the t25 went over the bonnet and crushed the drivers saftey cell in the volvo, the t25 driver suffered minor leg / feet damage. it made me feel alot better than this video!!
