Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of Porsche Taycan 2019

Euro NCAP performs a series of crash and safety tests on car models:
- a frontal impact test, the car impacts a rigid barrier
- an offset frontal impact test, 40% of the width of the car is striking a deformable barrier
- a pole test, the tested car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole
- a side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door.
A series of pedestrian tests are conducted with different impactors, adult and child head form, lower and upper leg form and whiplash tests are performed on a sled.
Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking systems (car to car, with a pedestrian and a cyclist target), lane support and speed assist technologies and seatbelt reminders.

I'm amazed the windshield didn't even crack in any of the tests. Shows great A-piller rigidity.

2:23 Cue the “To be Continued” meme song...

[contyoutufication]

dayummmm the pole test of taycan looks so good... the shell looks strong as hell... almost no deformation of the roof... very impresive!

[cruiserbruiser]

Best pole test result currently out there

[srinitaaigaura]

Damn, that A Pillar is the strongest I've seen yet. Didn't even flex, not even against the brutal pole side impact. And no massive shower of millions of debris either.

Finally some real competition for Tesla after so many damn years

[AIRDRAC]

They like cutting it close on the accident avoidance system tests! Damn, less than 10 centimetres to spare in most of them, how will it deal with a slightly wet road?

[yanzodadon]

That's the best pole test result I've seen

That battery pack apparently does wonders for structural rigidity and also allows for more consistently controlled crash deformation properties implemented effectively around the body shell.

Finally, a worhty oponent for The Pope test, damn it did amazing, very strong car

[derbigpr]

I like how precisely they tuned the crash avoidance systems, the car stops exactly at the last moment, to make sure nobody rear ends you from behind. Unlike some cars that just slam on the brakes and stop like 10 meters before impact.

[tutoriel]

People need to understand that the car applies exactly the amount of breaking required to not hit the pedestrian. If it's wet, it will break harder but there's no need to stop 10m before impact or you'll juste end up getting rear ended...

[werock]

AEB was a little too close for comfort

[toyotaprius]

Is Rich Rebuilds going to buy any of these?

[DuoMotovlog]

Impressive engineering! All the cars should have the Taycan security standard.✌️

[uxggcxs]

Can I take one of those broken cars for a reduced price?

[empowl]

First car to get 7 stars out of 5. Absolutely incredible.

[ciprian.costin]

I think EuroNCAP needs to increase the speeds by 10-20km/h since they're not realistic in many countries where people go 60kmph in cities.

[SuperDoggykong]

Looking forward for the results of the cybertruck

[UTubeSL]

Nice. Shame they don't test the Cayman or Boxster.
