When you are new ienie mini-car has a frontal clash with a S-Class successfully, then this is excellent advertising for your product. Mercedes was, therefore, Euro NCAP, but just to quickly, and did their own crash test.

With the introduction of the third generation of Smart, earlier this week, cleared parent company Daimler already has a prominent place in the Tridion safety cell, but to measure is to know. Therefore, crashing the Germans a brand new Fortwo at an equally all-new W222 S-Class, which is more than double weighing, with a speed of 50 km/h.

You probably all know the Fifth Gear crash test of the Renault Modus against an old Volvo 940, where the Swede to pieces went: now, these are two new cars, and also has the Mercedes here are the engine block, while the 940 according to evil tongues had been removed. That makes this test more of a challenge in two areas.

But anyway, the cup is nice crashbestendig, and know that Daimler, too, otherwise they had this video not made. The result of the take you see on autojunk. Now put a G63 6×6?

Update: in 1999, a similar crash test carried out, which resulted in a Smart on its side. Check out this test HERE.
