Sportscoupe crash tests


DaimlerChrysler

The Sportscoupe does well in the frontal 100% overlap crash. Note the cutout in the hood, to allow a direct view into the engine compartment during the crash, and confirm the anti-bunching design.

Good performance in the frontal offset crash test, with 40% overlap, where the damage is just slightly higher than in the new C-class.

The side-impact crash test...

...leaves its marks, but the structure survives intact, just as designed, and with the windowbag deployed.

accidents + crashes

Engineered like no other car in the world.
