HIGHSPEED CRASH TEST - 200 KM/H Ford Focus vs. Concrete Block

Just how big are the forces involved and how much of a family car is left after it crashes at a speed not uncommon on Highway, Motorway or Autobahn?

"The car deccelerates from 120 mph to 0 in 68 miliseconds with its passengers experiencing peaks of 400 g, the front end hits the wall with such force that the back end rises up 90 degrees and then car is slam dunked down onto its nose" Chills down my spine.

[Quandale]

I woulda survived personally but that’s just me

[chowyunfat]

400 G wtf ! Its like 40 times the Gs that the best astronauts and pilots can endure 😯

[JDMHaze]

0:35 "and the passengers.... DONT OSK"
😂🤣🤣🤣✌🏾

[saoturboto]

You destroyed the nice 17" wheels. WHY?

[TheEulerID]

That's 2 MJ of kinetic energy, or the energy equivalent of 0.5 kg of TNT which has been dissipated at a rate of about 30 MW.

[nickcojocar]

You’ve got 2 good rims and a good rear bumper though

[xlzlxlx]

I can feel it, the fear in my brain while i was driving at 215kmph

[musicisthecure]

Omfg dude….
It’s simply impossible to survive a 200km/h crash…
Absolutely impossible.

This needs to be shown everywhere every day for 5 years. Maybe it will sink in somewhere not to drive these traps with wild abandon. Maybe. I've also seen some Ford pickup trucks do this very same thing.

[raze]

While 200km/h seems too much for a Focus keep in mind that a 100km/h frontal on a public road is a very likely scenario.

[zsavage]

Doesn't make me think twice about going fast.. just makes me think NOT TO HIT SOMETHING AT 124mph!!

[yassinewaterlaw]

Hiting the wall with 200kmh is equivalent to falling from 180m building

[micmul]

Sometimes, even crash test dummy is an extremely hard job.

[tom]

Volvo Safety Team: 'Challenge Accepted.' Concrete Block: 'Eeeek.'

[esmolol]

Now think of people who say, it's safe to drive 200 kmh.
If they see this, they say: Won't happen to me, I'm a good driver.
Well after such an accident, you fit into a cardboard for shoes.

[dkoz]

Is the structural damage repairable? Did the airbags work? What would the driver tell the insurance adjustors?

[nikolakranjcevic]

200km/h into oncoming truck should do then?

[mickeyscratcher]

If only the wall was wearing hi-viz...
