The slow motion shots are amazing.

I see the euro spec versions get the front center air bag which usa versions do not

Boron steel is a wonderful thing...

This is great. Also, in none of those shots does it look like the windshield is remotely beginning to separate from the vehicle. Just saying.

These are always so cool to watch.

Given US standards we should see 10 stars if the EU gave it 5 lol

What's interesting is that it looks like they all have metal roofs on premium trims. Wondering if they were submitted that way for testing.

These were European spec vehicles under test in Europe. There is no Premium trim there.

" The car also applies the brakes after a collision to prevent secondary impacts. " (cited)

That is something I didn't know the car did...

It's under "Post Collision Braking" in the manual ... but who reads that thing anyway.

Wow - I had no idea. So it has everything from the Premium except for the pano roof?

They can get a pano roof as part of an option package, iirc... But overall, there are several differences including additional airbags, a different hood hinge mechanism (for pedestrian crash safety requirements), different suspension tuning, and more.

I am sad seeing those poor cars but happy about the results.

The frunk seems to act like a giant crumple zone? Wonder if it would be substantially different with substantial cargo in there. ?

Even in substantial quantities shrimp won't make a material difference.

I'm more worried about clam chowder tbh.
