As much as they don't show the circumstances of the incident that caused the damage, it's nice to know that the cabin area seemed to stand up pretty well... Well, excpet for 1:17 - 1:20.

0:56 - 0:59 OUCH! Poor R36!

0:56 - 0:59 OUCH! Poor R36!

I'm hoping/thinking it's not an R36..even though i see a blue, i don't think it's Biscay BLue plus the R36 badge isn't on the untouched grille.

Wouldn't want to be in any of those cars when impact happened.

Cheers,

Jayse.

Didn't see the video (damn web filter), but it's nice to know our cars have a 5 star safety rating

I was thinking it was disturbing how many caught on fire, anyone else notice this?

[Swallowtail]

LOL... me too! I noticed that and thought "hmmm". Running a little warm some of them I guess LOL...

[Rocket36]

Ummmm... car crashes cause fire...

[gead]

car crashes cause fire? in every single case?, or just in vehicles with a higher propensity to burn...

[Rocket36]

Jesus christ I didn't say EVERY car crash causes fire. But some do. Fuel line compromised, leaks onto exhaust = fire. And once it starts, it's pretty quick to be fully involved.

Another reason to go TDI less chance of explosion.

hahaha... this has deteriorated into a hollywood style thread. who said anything about explosions?

There were only 3 out of them all and at least 1 (the sedan) looked like a torch job not an accident IMO
