The new generation of Ford Mustang has received very poor results in the American IIHS crash tests. As it turned out the cabin does not guarantee complete safety!
На этот раз испытаниям подвергли трех спортивных конкурентов – Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro и Dodge Challenger. Surprisingly, crash test IIHC none of these cars has shown a good side, and the maximum assessment was not even a question. The 21-year-old history of the American crash testing a similar situation has occurred only four times, but it should be added, it came to cars with very outdated design.
Американский краш-тест Insurance Institute for Highway Safety отличается от европейского, held on to EuroNCAP. Each vehicle is subjected to five tests, in particular, made a frontal and side impact, tested for roof strength as well as the protection of the head and neck. Tests are carried out at a speed 64 kmh, a barrier simulates a collision with a tree on the road.
The new Ford Mustang was the best result of all triples, хотя после этого столкновения в салон переместились элементы подвески. Luckily, the risk of driver injury, this time was small.
Chevrolet Camaro has received high marks for occupant protection in a frontal collision, but it turned out to be a weak roof structure and the absence of annoying warning before the collision risk system.
The worst thing about these tests showed himself Dodge Challenger. During a head-on collision left front wheel, после перемещения прижало ногу водителя. If such a situation occurred in normal conditions, the emergency services, to remove the driver from a crashed car had to amputate the lower part of his legs.
