Citroen Dyane crashtest

[Hatejews1]

a SHIT CAR, i HAD ONE OF 1981,.....

[Tunerdude94]

Looks like a scene in Cars 2.

[Acara23]

at least the cars had crumble zones

[TahreyUK]

looks surprisingly good ... but, it probably doesn't have seatbelts, and certainly not pretensioners, inertia reels, or headrests, so everyone's just suffered caved-in foreheads followed by massive whiplash. Also it'd be interesting to see what the state of the footwell and steering column is like after that.

[leksandar3]

great car

[ovidone1]

equipped with bounceback

[BrunostNOR]

creepy music *.*

[topger77]

2 ft air anyone ??

[tuner1967]

5 star

[xmadxxx]

@.@ ?

[mihax209]

smooch!!!

[americanroute66]

Niceee car

[SaabisteALaRetraite]

@americanroute66

WARFFFF

JOKE??

[americanroute66]

@SaabisteALaRetraite hahaha, is safer than some modern cars in China. And in 1968.

[SaabisteALaRetraite]

@americanroute66

Does it exist modern car in China ?!!!

The safety is my priority ;there are too many bad drivers !!

[americanroute66]

@SaabisteALaRetraite hahaha true! Happy holidays!

[SaabisteALaRetraite]

@americanroute66

TOO FOR YOU

AND

YOUR FAMILY !

[215alessio]

let's try it with a real car against a diane! those test were real misleading

[xxemililyxx]

yes. this is hilarious. i have a dyane for my first car, and it's fab. and it comes out quite well, which is goood :D

[Jogonam]

awwwww so cute

[aidin594]

Salam

Jalebe! test zhiyan!

[oldsoulyoungbody]

they couldn't have crashed at 35mph....the drivers would've died from old age before that would've happened...

[Elizabethkeiraknight]

this funny

[s650bandit]

However not bad for frames designed in 1948 (2cv).

[Vallecrash]

@s650bandit the 2CV was already designed before the war, but hardly any prototypes were not destroyed to prevent them falling into the hands of the germans

[s650bandit]

@Vallecrash I meant the year of start of production. I know well the history of the 2CV. Thank you.

[SuperNick134]

like a miror

the same shit!

[fiaciorfl]

Piątke sobie przybili oponami :D

[Ptylersworld]

Now this is the way front-on crash tests SHOULD ALWAYS happen. Two of the same car, same orientation, same engine, same speed, same everything. Then, a seperate crash test with a bigger car, and a seperate crash test with a smaller one to even things out. :)

[TahreyUK]

@Ptylersworld Problem is only things like the 2CV are cheap enough for any manufacturer or government testing agency to even be able to consider it!

[toyotaprius79]

you might think if these had setbelts you would be ok you might but if that happens in that car, the steering wheel will crash into you're face, a bit like a KO punch from a professional boxer

[oxPYROxo]

kjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

[irvykinneas]

TWINS!

[Ballenylus]

damaged the same way^ ^ xD

[MrMichal939]

Jak na tamte czasy to nie jest tragicznie

[integraf40]

Looks like it crashed into a mirror

[aloisbembel]

Duck dance LOL

[Arkadasch123]

LOOOL......absolutely great :'D

[moonchild883n]

...yo tenia uno igual en amarillo......joder que pasada

[tincho92]

simply symetric :)

[Sitikkamies93]

Not bad for 60's cheap car! : )

[HokutoNoSandwich]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaa­hah

[Hondaboy27160478]

Two people have said the red car is a 2 CV

They're both Dyanes

[TahreyUK]

@Hondaboy27160478

I didn't actually believe you at first because the differences are so subtle and my brain/eyes were saying "2CV!" ... but the clue is in the bonnet line. 2CV has a higher bonnet and separate headlights in pods. Dyane is lower and slightly sleeker, and the lights are in the front. It's only visible for a second or two before they collide though.

[Hondaboy27160478]

@TahreyUK. Happy to help, I just stated they're both Dyanes, as two people had said red one was a 2cv.

Dyane, Ami, LNA, & Visa, were launched to replace 2cv, but 2cv continued to out sell all the supposed replacements, until 1991 when they didn't meet minimum safety standards.

[DSmaster99]

Is the rear axles of these old Citroens actually attached to the car? Both the 2CV and the Dyane's axles end up near enough right underneath the body! Wierd, yet strangely "I want one" design! I wanted a Dyane since I was like, 3! lol. Now i'm 17 i'll make do with my VW Polo :P

[sparkygl0s]

@DSmaster99

They dont really have a rear axle. The rear suspension is just a single trailing arm each side. This is attached to the bodywork just in front of the rear wheel. Its similar to the rear suspension of a motorbike.

[DSmaster99]

@sparkygl0s

Ahh, I understand, thanks for the explanation! Cheers buddy (Y)

[mimiayuara]

I own a Dyane 6 and i have refitted it completely: I hope you may enjoy the same experience-they're not easy to find, but they're fun and excellent to drive and maintin

[DSmaster99]

Yeah, would love to drive one, one day. Very classic. But they seem to be built out of Kitchen Foil! Haha ,, love Dyane's though

[mimiayuara]

well... yes, excellent driving experience, but we have to talk about metal shit, not metal sheet, truly. The body is made in rusty tinfoil.

[TahreyUK]

@DSmaster99 It's probably a "stub axle", which is a fairly common thing on front wheel drive cars. Things like the 1980s Fiat Panda were notable for HAVING a full (but "dead") rear axle, so simple/sturdy/cheap was their design.

Stubs are perfectly fine if the vehicle is properly engineered - you don't see the wheels of a Golf GTi folding under when it becomes a tricycle with enthusiastic cornering - but if it's not attached properly it can be deadly...

[snowball1988]

i know! the rear wheels are practically floating around on their own! o_O

[DSmaster99]

Absolutely mad, aint it snowball?!

[an3torres]

LOL!

[cacaaleau]

Red 2 CV won!!!!

The blue one rebounded backward while the red one remained in position!

[SquareoftheyearFM]

@cacaaleau neither are 2cv's, they are both Dyanes

[ammca66564]

Springy!

[Alexvideoclip]

Compact car ?

[kufenaut123]

this car rock :D fun to drive extreme motor power :P and the stearing is fun and its not even safe to crash i 10 km/p^^

[toddi1971]

lol, duck jumping

[kanonekraftschuss]

At what speed they crashed? I guess at 10 miles per hour or something like that.

[mastashaker916]

No, 10 kpm, which equates to a little over 6 mph.

[swordfish1986]

Something like 30 mph, i think.

[oiseautempete]

@kanonekraftschuss

the car was homologated at 55km/h crash test...(34 mph)

[TahreyUK]

@oiseautempete Is that both cars doing 55km/h each, or that each one contributes 27.5km/h to the total?

[oiseautempete]

@TahreyUK

In this test each car run at 27.5km/h, but the official UTAC test was 55km/h in a beton wall (not deformable).

Actualy the test is at 65km/h in a assymetric (only the half wide of the car) deformable obstacle (simulation of frontal collision in another car)

[TahreyUK]

@oiseautempete that's only ~17mph each?! OK, maybe it's not so brilliant a result in that case...

I'd be interested to see what the 65k (40mph) assymmetric test result is like, having seen a few of those recently - e.g. Fiat 500, Smart, and some Nissan SUV doing very well... Chinese saloons, VW Bus and tinpot Detroit 4x4s turning into highly efficient passenger execution devices...

[oiseautempete]

@TahreyUK

What you say? the 2cv was built in serial in 1948 and never structural modified and you speak from 65km/h crash test? Be realistic...the 2cv resists at a 55kmH crast test, this is pretty good for a car that age...

[TahreyUK]

@oiseautempete Oh no, don't get me wrong, it's pretty good for something of that era, particularly given it's cheap materials & construction. Seems to absorb the collision alright, at a fair proportion of it's top speed.

But most of the tests that are up on youtube for which this may be compared to are run at much higher speed. This is more like two cyclists colliding, or a particularly vicious coming-together in a parking lot. The resulting amount of damage vs the impact strength is quite high

[oiseautempete]

@kanonekraftschuss

This car was tested and UTAC 1968 test approved at 35mph (55km/h)

[czesiosmok]

xD

good crash :D

[beerdeddi]

What a high passion kiss!!!

[Loretta2004]

Looks like Esther Williams water ballet or whatever you call it, syncronised swimming.

[SatansFatUdder]

a fairly good car

i owned a rolls royce phantom but unfortunately i crasehd when i was drunk and on acid.

poor unlucky me, a few weeks before i had already crashed my company's car, a mercedes e-class, against a concrete bridge because a business meeting was being cancelled so i had to hang around and got bored.

so i decided to buy an affordable car and switched to citroen 2cv (thew predecessor of this model)

of course, its technique is outdated but it is a car with a very unique appeal

[niioniio]

pure simetri :)

[Xantialos2]

FU<K Mercedes Benz!!

Citroën for the win!

[truthspeaker2000]

I see. Mercedes is probably build from copper

not from steel, that´s why Mercedes is so expensive, and diane will probably wreck a tank lol

no wait, did you realize I was not talking of Smart car or A -Class, I was talking of a Mercedes Benz..., a real one..., if you just know what this means in weight and steel quality...

I hope you are not angry whith me when I think your posting is just a typical random youtube bullshit comment.

[TahreyUK]

@truthspeaker2000

1. who were you talking to?

2. copper? really? ... I mean REALLY?

[tioyis]

sincronizados..jaja

[QuickT538]

funny how they fly back after crashing :D

[truthspeaker2000]

let´s crash one of them with a mercedes benz

and then have a look what they look like

after this... :)

[SEThatered]

Mercedes will swallow most of the hit because its metal is softer than of that Citroen, so Mercedes will be wrecked and Citroen only a bit damaged. I already saw such a test.

[edis23]

yeah

after the crash between mercedes and citron (-;

The driver of citroen has a chance after

the crash to be driven by the same mercedes from crash to the cimetery (-; !!!

[Punto9090]

they sould crash a dyane and a renault megane hahahaha

[Predember]

mi ez a zene ?

[moradwan]

woow the do better then a tought.

[Chickenlool]

car for noobs

[Futurebobbers]

A bump, a bounce and some nice music, all with perfect symmetry. Crashing is fun in a Citroen Dyane!

[TehRunar]

Let's make a commerical like that! :D

[willissofunny]

am i right in saying although it looks funny when they bounce up, modern cars are designed to bounce up, and although the car crushed at the front the rear windows dint break untill it droped back down to the ground meening the struckture was still sollid back there :)

[dra587]

aia

[alexkvaskov]

what is the speed of each vehicle?

[timoulete76]

hihi funny, They jump ^_^

[bullet50000]

i am just wondering, why do the bother? no one will ever buy that car again.

[coogiez]

it's fun ^^

[bullet50000]

true, true.

[deathwishdorris]

LOL.

This is scary, I was driven 110mph (ish) in one of these a few months ago, slip streaming lorries to get extra speed. He left it until the last millisecond before swerving out. Also did 60 round corners, couldn't believe it didn't roll out.

[bratattack5]

Could you define "Unsafe" for me please when Renault have one of the best Euro NCAP ratings??

[evan6969]

and thats coming from someone who drives a rover? what a fag. i hope your mum dosnt see all the shit covered condoms and wet towels on the back seats.

[JoMo91]

fuck you! you dont know anything about the A series citroens! yes they might look abit intimidating :P i own one! theyre absolutely amazing! not crap at all! these are early Dyane4s by the looks of it! and they arent crap either!

hmm so what car do you have then?

[canonpowershotseries]

boing!!

[dawnrun911]

French cars are works of "art", the may not start most of the time but at least they are good for a laugh when they do.. If you want a real car buy a German made car.

[HighestRank]

Did you see the rear pop open and bench eject? Chrysler minivanesque!

[madmax678]

i laugh at the way they both jump up in excatly the same way.....XD

[cheese2507]

Lol the drivelines snap and they bounce after the impact

[chayotero27]

tuuuuuuuuuuuuuftttttrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddd­dddryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yy

[nesmaddan]

boing!!

[dannystanley]

ha ha ha ha!!!

[Griffencph]

Amazing how the cabin "keeps alive" on such a plastic-and-cardboard car.

All passengers not fastened might jump out the sun roof canvas though...

[ravivhaik]

O.M.G !!! OHH MY GOD !!!

[jolster999]

WHAT YOU WOULD OF BEEN SAFE U NOOB
