Most Expensive Car Crash Tests Ever

A foreign car in a pile of shredded metal might be our worst nightmare, but car companies spend tons each year to safely destroy million-dollar models. Manufacturers are usually allowed to test their own supercars because of how incredibly

expensive

it can be to

crash

one million-dollar car after another. dollar car, have devised their own ways to make the process as effective as possible, such as purchasing 125,000

crash

test dummies and funneling millions into high-tech simulation software, but that doesn't make seeing a crash Lambo made easier. Here are some of the world's

most

expensive

Bugatti Veyron crash

tests

Performing a crash test on a single car can cost over a hundred thousand dollars, but that price goes up much more when the car you crash is a million-dollar supercar. like the two million Bugatti Veyron.

Between 2002 and 2005, Bugatti conducted a series of independent crash

tests

on Veyron prototypes. These prototypes even had their engines intact and all of Bugatti's luxury amenities still on board. Crash test photos recently surfaced on the internet showing some seriously crushing damage to the entire front of the multi-million dollar vehicle, the tests performed on these Veyrons included rollover tests, bumper tests, impact tests at

ever

y possible angle. and collisions between cars. That's a lot of Bugattis that crash, but fortunately

most

manufacturers that don't produce many Each model per year tend to use fewer prototypes and also repair these prototypes between tests so they can be reused.

This easily saves millions of dollars in totaled cars each year. Lamborghini Murcielago. Most crash tests are done at about 35 miles per hour with the car hooked up to an electric motor that drags the vehicle toward impact which doesn't seem like much speed but can cause serious damage like it did to this Lamborghini Murcielago, this Lambo which costs between 350 and 450,000 depending on the model. sacrificed in a frontal crash test to see how effective its crumple zones were - the crumple zones or areas of the car that are supposed to be damaged on impact because they protect the most vital parts of the car, including passengers, so This whole thing was really destroyed.

Lamborghini is a blessing because it means the front of the car just does its job, and speaking of passengers, even the test dummies they put in the car cost the company a ton of money. The dolls cost a minimum of 25,000 each, but now there are wireless ones. Dummies that are better suited for certain things, such as rollover tests, which have improved data collection technology, can cost up to 125,000 each. California foreign automakers aren't actually required to undergo independent crash testing, which is why cars over a hundred thousand dollars are tested much less frequently, government agencies would have to go to dealerships and buy supercars for full price if they wanted to try them out because companies are not obliged to simply deliver models of their most expensive vehicles.

Ferrari is an example of a company. We rarely see their cars crashed on purpose but they have tested some of their best models such as the 488 and also the Ferrari California which at the time of testing would have cost two hundred thousand dollars. It's a pretty painful image, I know, but you probably know it. Be glad to know that Ferrari makes such a low volume of cars, only about 10,000 a year in 2019, that they like to spend their testing budget on simulations and virtual crash tests. The Ferrari California was a necessary casualty to demonstrate the car's safety, but most others.

The Ferraris will crash into a computer Porsche take hand a test goes very well the company needs to do fewer repeated tests and they save tons of money and cars Porsche was especially happy when the take hand passed its safety test with flying colors the 100,000th model used in place of the more expensive 180,000 Turbo S, but the crash is still quite difficult to see. The lateral pull test is one of the toughest for a car to pass, but the handhold does an incredible job of holding up under pressure, just watch. How well the supports stay intact works just as well when the other side post is changed to a full barrier.

These expensive test dummies inside also demonstrate how stable the cabin is, which is very important because the neck, back and head can suffer serious injuries in the event of an impact. Even if you got out of an accident like that, you'd probably have to pay over fifteen thousand dollars in hospital bills in the US. This is exactly why these supercar companies are willing to invest their biggest profits in the Mercedes. -Benz SLS Harm's Way. AMG, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, is another safety-first car that passed its tests with flying colors. Although the long hood deforms s

ever

ely during the impact test, it functions as a perfect crumple zone and absorbs all the energy of the crash to protect the passengers.

It does its job so well that the windshield remains intact. The car can cost between two and five hundred thousand. thousand dollars depending on the model you buy but if you have the money at least you can drive knowing that you are well protected another What the test shows is that the emergency function of the Gullwing doors works like a dream after surviving a two foot fall On its roof, the car doors still open when the emergency function is activated and can be easily removed for a quick Escape Koenigsegg Regera when the price of a car surpasses the million dollar mark.

It is in manufacturers' best interest to test security features as efficiently as possible while causing the least damage to their property and production schedule. Koenigsegg is a company that values ​​safety but does not want to throw away trash. their million dollar cars against a wall and can you really blame them when their cars look like that? Instead, they came up with a repair system that they used when testing this two million regera. Since they only produce a few thousand cars per year, the company assembles its Prototypes with a very strong carbon fiber structure and almost indestructible.

The frame and exterior can be destroyed, but you can simply repair the broken parts and use the same chassis in the next test. This doesn't make it easy, although even if they save millions, it is necessary. three months to prepare a car for a test and they still have to crash the car from every possible angle and direction. They also take the car off the track to test how it handles potholes, huge potholes and ruts and even a pile of tires that got in the way, one of the most important things to test are these smart airbags that can indicate the angle of the passenger's impact and whether or not they were wearing a seat belt.

They often use hammers to hit the car to ensure that the airbags will not activate accidentally in the event of minor impacts. Clarin F1, even when safety comes first, it's hard to imagine a multimillion-dollar record-breaking vehicle being subjected to serious crash testing. The record of the McLaren F1 sold at a public auction is going to stop. Chassis number 44 is one of seven US-legal F1s that sold for $15.62 million at the 2017 Quail Lodge auction, but just as impressive as the F1's price is its safety rating. four and a half stars out of 5 which it got from being carefully destroyed while the manufacturer did not have to subject the supercar to testing, it was a good thing they did considering that the car can reach a top speed of 234 miles per hour or 376 kilometers, considering that The average supercar vehicle prototype costs $250 billion. dollar McLaren is far from matching its peers for the title of most expensive Supercar ever deliberately slammed into a wall, let us know in the comments below if you think wrecking the McLaren F1 was worth it in the name of safety, there is an average of six different crash tests carried out per car, the prototype must be in good condition to start each new test or else the results will not be accurate with the Pagani Huayra.

A $2.6 million supercar. Tests showed the carbon-titanium composite that protects the car. When destroyed by impact, the composite, a combination of carbon fiber and titanium, is lightweight but still allows the passenger compartment to withstand impacts that would otherwise break. The standard carbon fiber piece means they don't just destroy a Huayra, they even crash it into a barrier. faster than normal just to show how strong their compound was, it's a good thing it worked or else I would have gone back to the drawing board and said goodbye to another multi-million dollar prototype car that would have been crash tested but which works well. for Tesla, since they had to redo their crash test with the Model S because it had some problems, the eighty thousand dollar car was tested for everything from front impact to side impact and even being crushed from above, the main problem with the performance. of the Model S was that the seat belt allowed the dummy's torso to move too far forward allowing the dummy's head to hit the steering wheel hard through the airbag.

The lifetime cost of treating a patient for a traumatic brain injury in the U.S. is estimated to be anywhere from anywhere. from 85,000 to 3 million, sacrificing eighty thousand dollar Model S so that this does not happen to a Tesla driver seems like a good option to us. Ford Mateen, some companies like Ford do a hundred virtual tests for each physical one and while they do not reveal a cost, each batch of virtual tests can end up costing thousands of dollars, especially considering the price of such advanced software, but it's still cheaper than crashing an entire car 100 different times.

The Ford Mustang GT tested here is a 35,000 V8 Running the virtual tests before crashing the Mustang into a wall helps Ford realize which parts of the car are weak or substandard so they can repair them before performing a test. of the vehicle, leading to fewer physical crash tests and usually a higher safety rating, but these expensive tests feel especially expensive when the results are not as good as the manufacturer wants and not even 100 simulations can do that the test runs completely smoothly. In 2017, the Mustang GT earned a 5-star rating in the US, but only a two-star rating in Europe, showing that safety standards in different countries are surprisingly varied, so see which of these crash test videos hurt more, let us know in the comments section below, don't forget to hit like. button turn on notifications and subscribe to the richest for more thanks for watching, see you next time abroad
