Original Beetle 40mph offset crash test

Compared to the Golf after it, I'd say it held up well for a design originated in the 1930s. Better than the brand new Chinese cars, anyway.

Re: Original Beetle 40mph offset crash test
Well... The two front passengers are dead in the beetle and everyone dies in the golf. I'll ride a bike.

Re: Original Beetle 40mph offset crash test
Wow did any of you check out the VW Transporter crash? Holy shnikeys! And to think my neighbors used to haul us kids around Cape Town's freeways in an old "Splittie" Bus.
That little Brazilian Fox looks like it stood up impressively well! I wonder how it compares to other A-segment cars. |

Re: Original Beetle 40mph offset crash test
Bah, it's hard to really judge some of these... unless of course the entire car crumbles into a little pile. I am actually surprised that the Bettle came off as well as it seems to have... I guess not having the motor up front to smash through the cabin helped.

Re: Original Beetle 40mph offset crash test
Talking about this one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPpU5azjCB8 Anyway, I would want to be an either of those VWs everyone forgets about the feet and legs which even in the Beetle would get severly damaged and you could possibly bleed to dealth.
