It's not the Audi. Any car without side curtain airbags would fail this
test. I think there was a heavy duty early 2010s Chevy truck that also had
fatal HICs (around 7000 I think) because it had no curtain airbags. Side
structures are much stronger now than they were in 1990 as well. There is
not a 1990 car in the world where this test would be survivable, assuming
the head and pole lined up. The '95 Corolla they also tested had a very low
HIC only because the head missed the pole. A couple inches forward and the
HIC would have been fatal on that one as well.

@carlevent Ich weiß nicht, ob der Audi normalerweise noch Querstreben im
Dach hat, da nur das reine Blechdach sicher nichts am Ergebnis geändert
hätte. Ich könnte mir auch nicht vorstellen, warum man das Auto für den
Crash struktural schwächen sollte, denn damit würde das Ergebnis aussagelos
werden. So oder so denke ich aber nicht, dass es sehr viel an diesem
Ergebnis geändert hätte. Man muss bedenken, dass es sich um eine
Konstruktion der frühen 1980er Jahre handelt.
@vwolop Golf and for collided frontally. Ford had minor damage but Golf was
beaten up. This isnt only case, new cars are safer but they arent made to
survive crash. Ask any mechanic or just look yourself under the hood. New
cars are built to absorb impact, not to survive it. Old cars have stronger
structure so when they collide, new cars are destroyed. Older cars have
much stronger bodywork and structure but driver is safer in new car!
What a silly notion. This is car has an integral body, every piece of it
adds to the rigidity. Without the roof the energy cant be transferred to
the b-billar on the other side. The same goes for the Windscreen - its part
of the structure. Also i wouldnt be surprised if the makers of that movie
removed the strenghening beam thats bolted to the underfloor across the
car...
The ridged pole test – the hardest of them all. So much kinetic energy that
needs to be absorbed and that’s all concentrated over a small area right
where your sitting - where you can least afford intrusion. Probably the
only time you are at a possible disadvantage being in a longer car.
@ignasquattro So they can see the effects of the crash from a birsds eye
view it's not like the roof was apart of the side structure. it's the
pillars in the roof that are and clrearly this did have any, because the 95
corralla they did the same thing and left the upper pillars intact.
Wow things have changed and to anyone hating on this car it was the 90's
when people had better things to do with there lives than worry about an
idiotic driver skidding at 20miles per hour (sideways) which means they
would have had to be doing well over 100 to get a 20 sideways ..
They didn't cut the roof off you idiots. They simply cut away the sheet
steel that covers the roof, leaving the structure of the roof in place.
This way we can see the structure of the roof interact with the pillar and
see the way it collapses in a collision.
dasdach bzw der dachhimmel ist im typ 44 verklebt und mittragend-mit dach
wäre der aufprall weit weniger dramatisch gewesen! ein auto zu zersägen und
dann zu behaupten es wäre unsicher ist schlichter betrug!
@ignasquattro Between the B pillars where the pole hit hardest is usual a
reinforcement but they have cut it of as well. In this example they could
cut the roof and make it a cab, it would be the same result
I used to have one just like that, same color, but with grey fabric
interior. Great car. Tracked as well as any I've ever owned. Very good
grip, quiet. Screaming hot seat heaters.
@vwolop It's actually the cell compartment itself that channels the energy
not the sheet metal. the sheet metal is not apart of any safety feature
it's just panel molding.
the roof has less than 1% resistance, its negligible, like air resistance
at low speeds
