It's called a Landwind. This (http://www.wimp.com/failedtest/)is the video of a 40mph barrier crash test.

WOW! Airbag deploys to temporarily save driver, followed quickly by front wheel/suspension crushing lower extemities and dashboard crushing chest.

It even disemboweled the Crash Dummy! Always wondered what was inside those guys. Scary indeed!!!

Well, if we put sarcasm aside for a moment, this kind of vehicle can come in quite handy.

Buy one for your ex-wife or ex-gf just after taking out a large insurance policy on her life, arrange for her to move up to the wealthy West End part of Montreal, within 6 months you can then retire quite comfortably (even considering funeral costs and the initial cost of importing the vehicle).

(I'm SO glad I moved out of that part of town... :shake: soon it'll be two years since I've begun enjoying driving again)

They are tested in China hitting either a rickshaw or a 2 stroke scooter.

Ouch ... at one point the steering wheel appears to contact the vehicle's ceiling, but only after brushing aside the crash test dummy's head. Hopefully the steering column is made out of recycled chopsticks, so at least you could use it to kill a vampire car thief.
