World’s Fastest Car Crash Test Pulverises Ford Focus
From the archive: published Oct 24, 2011, 15 years ago. Details may have changed since.
Car crash tests are usually done at the speed of 40 miles per hour. What if you take it a notch higher, actually more than a notch higher, say at 120 miles per hour.
Engineers set up a Ford Focus with a winch, a mechanical device to pull in the car at 120 miles per hour. As the winch was activated, the car went full speed head on to the concrete wall.
The result: A Ford Focus that is totally unrecognizable after the high-speed collision.
