W212 CRASH VIDEO

Has anyone seen this yet?

Phenomenal on the side-impact - there's barely any intrusion when you look at it from the inside.
Gotta love that German engineering!

Yeah I actually posted it a couple months ago, somehow it leaked. It will probably be one of the safest cars ever as M-B's usually are and this has Safety advancements over the W211, which is one of the safest itself.

The IIHS Side Tests are a lot more rigorous than this one seemed to be, however judging by how amazingly tank-like the W204 showed to be during its own IIHS Side Test (also new M-B's have Pelvis Bags) with literally NO intrusion, the W212 should be just as good at the least. I'm not a huge W204 fan in many ways, but it's Side Test showing had me

The side impact test is pretty amazing. Reminds me of the crash test of the S guard I think.
