@@matthewking5612 Haha, I know what crash you are reffering to. In short: both cars had the engine in them - the Renault Modus and the Volvo 940. Do you want the scientific explanation behind this information?
Was that a production car? In Germany a car magazine (auto motor & sport) testet the 1st gen A8 in an 50%, very slightly angeled offset crash test at a speed of 55kph and there the aluminum space frame car performed very well....
@@legioner9 The deformation of the A-pillars, the windscreen (part of the space frame structure flies out) - the deformation of the bulkhead as well as the intrusion of the steering wheel.....
@@andreasausmuc Where did you see that they deformed? Furthermore, A-pillar deformation doesn't mean the windscreen flies out. Someone fiddled with the windscreen before the test. I have seen plenty of crash tests where the A-pillar really deforms (unlike in this video), and the windscreen stays in place, regardless if old or new car.
Do you have more crash test videos from Audi A8 D2, for example side crash test?
That's the only A8 test on the database with video footage.
The Windshield at 4:34 min flies out like it never glued to the body of the car.
Someone fiddled with the windscreen before the crash.
@@legioner9 Who, the same person who steals the engines from old Volvo's before their crash tested against more modern designs?

@@legioner9 Yes, but no bullshit please, I'm not in the mood.
@@matthewking5612 Well, I can tell from your other comment that you are already in a mood, aren’t you? ...
My 1984 Opel Kadett has a glued-in windscreen, but the Audi doesn't, really unusual

It's a production car, just "modified" so that unimportant pieces are removed. This test is just validation of the 3D simulated tests.
Well, what makes you think that this A8 didn’t perform well?

....in the video????
Did this structure have no firewall? I don't get what happened to the fenders and dashboard area
It's an old design, although I'm surprised it suffered so much intrusion. Just goes to show how much safer newer designs are.
Wow! Very good for 1998. For 2021 even!
Not that good, look at the interior.
@chris jones That is not a stering column, that is a part of the dashboard.
Terrible, one of the worst results I've ever seen!!!
@@ChrisPatrick-q6k What are *you* on about?
@@ChrisPatrick-q6k How so?
No airbags ! But solid performance for a big car of that Era !
It has airbags...

Tengo un A8 3.7 del 96 y es espectacular!
👍

very very bad
Why
look 7.59
engine intrusion too much!!!
@@TT-zv9mwso, so bad? 😕 Worst than '15 focus?
i love my Audi A8 D2 4.2 v8 petrol quattro
