  • Anyone else see the shooting star on the right at 0:33? :)

  • Anyone else see the shooting star on the right at 0:33? :)

  • even the dumme at 1:03 in msart car was shaking his head sayin no no no no!

  • The Mercedes was sold as new the next day.

  • never gonna buy a smart car

  • the front mercedes badge in 1:19 till the end flies pretty GOOD 

  • funny how people here are calling for the smart car to be banned for safety reasons. I don't see anyone lining up at Harley Davidson Dealerships doing the same thing.

  • Well, in fact the smart is one my favourite cars. (I´m german, too)

    The smart isn´t deformed, but the crash energy has to go somewhere, so it jumps back and may destroy everything inside including the driver.

  • I'm not convinced this is 40MPH. I have seen these cars in repair shops and I would wager it is more like 75MPH.

  • @watzupdawg Go ahead and bet all you got you dumbass. It would be an absolute PR nightmare for the IIHS if they were to mis-represent their testing criteria and results. They have standards to abide by, there aren't even any official 75MPH tests performed at that facility. Are you that thick?

  • @7477238 When you go see some cars after a crash you tell me what happened.

  • @watzupdawg Obviously the IIHS test facility can't reproduce every single real life scenario. Things will always be different out in the real world, there are too many factors. I've been in a nasty crash before and heck the car looked worse than it would've in a test facility. This test still gives a good idea of what may happen and it's about as close to real life as it can get.

    Besides look at the curb weight of the Benz and then the Smart.

  • merc badge is like "fuck this.... (ejector button) and wheeeeeeeeeeee..... im outa here" 1:17

  • @jester2539 I can by your response that you really cant defend yourself. You start by name calling so I am guessing you are maybe 12 years old. I would say the smart held up great in a crash. It is major damage to a 6000 lbs car. I bet you the person in the smart would have survived.

  • @t12121 Smart cars are fuel efficient and only fuel efficient, but they are uglier then s***. Also, you really can’t defend yourself because the odds of you hitting another smart car while you yourself are in one are slim to none. You have better odds of winning the lottery then hitting the same car you’re driving. Car wrecks involve many different cars and very rarely involve the same car. And yes the person in the smart car may have survived but they would have had life threatening injuries.

  • I want to see what a large 350 truck does against a normal car. I bet the results would be pretty interesting.

  • @t12121 that's not the fucking point idiot -_- it's to show you how fucking retarded a smart car is in a crash

  • I laughed at the smart car crashing. Is that bad?

  • So let me get this straight. 6000 lbs vs 2300 lbs let's see this same test against a Ford truck or car. I bet you the results wouldn't be to much different!

  • @t12121 The tests were done because people weren't sure how subcompact cars would hold up when in an accident with a full sized car. Most of the subcompacts tested (Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris) scored fairly well in the offset tests. But in the real world you're not hitting a stationary wall. You're hitting another vehicle traveling roughly the same speed as you. It was to show people that even though they have high crash test ratings, they still can't withstand impact with a full sized car.

  • 1:19 Mercedes sign: "I'M FREE!!!"

  • smart, un acquisto intelligente...

  • Yeah. Every StupidCar owner should watch this while the paperwork for their car is being drawn up simply as a disclaimer. "You're getting one of these plastic gokarts, this is what happens if you get hit in one."

  • Like a Hummer to a KAMAZ...

  • (Not so) smart car.

  • 1:20 flying merc badge..

  • dumb fortwo

  • dumb car

  • I wonder why the smart car is always crashed up against the strongest objects and cars. The smart gets crashed against luxury cars with higher strength steels, but the kia's, toyotas, hyundais, hondas, nissans, etc, get crashed up against lower priced cars and weaker objects. Let's start crashing Kia Rio's into the front of a Mercedes and see how they hold up!

  • @Lakeshow23 It's not like the used an SUV, Bus, or tractor trailer truck. They used an average sized car on the road to give average results. You only have to look at the car to see that it is slightly safer than a motorcycle.

  • I love how smart car fans get so bent out of shape. I agree I am surprised at how well the compartment held up but face it the thing went airborne and there was a whole second accident that took place after the benz sent it into orbit. LOL Name of the car seems like a misnomer. Freeze at 0.37. The "smart" car driver is about to get plastered to the grille of an oncoming Peterbilt.

  • You guys are stupid, the smart care is safe. Look at the size difference first off, and also theres another video on youtube of a smart car slamming a wall at 70 and you would be like "whoa." The smart car just BITCH slapped the Mercedes....AND theres smart cars that beat Ferraris...look it up.

  • @imnottellinguwhy You are crazy, On road does it matter what size car you hit. You never know and this clip clearly shows how safe the smart is. "NOT"

  • FLY YOU MERCEDES BADGE,FLY!!!!!..YOU ARE FREE NOW !!! :)

  • not so smart car

  • Why on earth did they crash a C300? Perhaps with leather, empty rims, and all options specced? Isn't that a bit pointless for a CRASH TEST? The cheapest version would have done exactly the same. What a waste...

  • @kadvid they do these tests to show how compacts fare against full/midsize sedans

  • Mercedes C class GOOD. Give me that on paper!

  • sorry motorbike

  • still safer than a mototrbike

  • Is it SMART to buy  a SMART

  • Thumbs up if you saw the mercedes logo fly up in the air in the last slow mo. Good advertising!

  • anyone call 911?

  • my eyes are full of tears

  • lucky for the Fortwo that the test crash was done in a very slippery surface compared to asphalt because if not the Fortwo would have ridden for 20 straight feet backwards

  • 很顯然Smart Fortwo不安全

  • your mom ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^­^^^^^^^^

  • Obviously the smart won.

  • That makes my teeth hurt!!

    Think if there were other cars around on a freeway.. Ive seen many of these smart cars zippin at 70mph just beggin for disaster. They should say in europe and golf courses.

  • As did the Mercedes one, so did the Smart logo. Fly away, Smart logo, you'r free! Oh wait, thats the whole car... O_o

    P.S. The Smart ForTwo is made for two, but niether would survive..

  • I want the mercedes logo

  • Don't you think the sttructure held up better than the Yaris?

  • when you buy a smart car, you should be forced to watch 1:00 to 1:07 over and over again.

  • @kiknchikn2060 but even the germans can make a super tiny car with better crash standards than the chinese with trucks and midsize cars!

  • @alexander1485 yep, large chinese car = large deathtrap

  • @kiknchikn2060 Yeah, seriously.

    1:00 - You're pretty much a vegetable from that point on.

    1:08 - "Damn, he put a dent in my Benz."

  • Wow, your knees really are the crumple zone in a Smart car!

  • Some preschooler is going to be very upset when he sees that a passing Mercedes has pulverized his "Little Tikes" coupe.

  • V8, 1  hippie car, 0

  • @rocknrollax42 Not a V8... the C300 is a V6.

  • I was paying more attention to the mercedes emblem flying off the grille than the actual crash.

  • This is why I drive my truck. When I am in an accident I have a better chance of walking away.

  • @boarderofsnow13 Unless it's like a 2003ish F150. Those kind of fold up into a V upon impact :D Trucks don't always equal safe.

  • @Proud2BeAPirate Ahahah lol, yeah, but atleast I'd be alive.

  • If Mafia had those Smarts, I wouldn't care being in the trunk. Atleast I'd survive to tell the story.

  • @Xlm0 rofl

  • @Xlm0 Except they'd have every bone in your body broken to fit you in there.

  • @Xlm0 i doubt it. the structure of the Smart car is incredibly safe, but without the large crumple zone to create a slower stop your organs will jump forward. This can cause things such as punctured lungs torn aorta... It's the inertia that makes it dangerous. However im not sure if the difference in crumple zones even make a difference. These crash tests don't show how safe it really could be as they don't test internals.

  • volvo is safer

  • the national weather service just announced there is a tornado containing a smart car in the area :D

  • So Mercedes like to play soccer with smart cars.

  • 算是測試!!!

  • ==相撞,一左 一右!!!

  • i feel like this needs the mythbusters/discovery channel song playing in the back ground... boom biatta boom biatta boom biatta boom biatta...

  • wow.... wtf:-o

  • imagne this grapic details in need for speed?!?!

  • @Tobiiimnrw Lol, that would never be able to run on my computer.

  • did anyone notice that the smart basically bounced off?

  • Here is an idea of how the law should regulate:

    1. Required by Law. All front hoods, front bumpers, and front side fenders are to be made of the same composite material. This is to lessen the severity of impact in a crash.

    2. Required by Law. All rear bumpers and trunks are to be made of the same composite material.

    3. Required by Law. All chassis and engine are to be made of the same composite material unless proven unable. Front and rear bumpers are to have collision safety bars.

  • They should have named this video "Smart car gets OWNED"

  • OMFG!

  • C class destroyed the smart

  • MB Logo from C-Class is win. :)

  • Slow motion is awesome.

  • You know, the smart car would be safer if eveyone didn't drive huge cars these days. Hitting a wall is safer in a lighter vehicle. Being carried passenger in a vehicle that has a lot of mass is not safe for you if you're hitting a wall. Further more driving a big vehicle you are more of a danger to anyone you hit. 

  • @GideonStyle maybe people in small cars should just get a bigger one ;)

  • @guitardedchance

    lol touche, but that's how it currently is in America already, the majority have large trucks, suv's or large cars. I think this is due to marketing that started in the mid 90's, where they had most believe that they needed a huge vehicle. Albiet a lot of people do utilise the potential of their vehicles that a van, or smaller truck can't handle. With how many they're I feel thye're an excessive amount of people driving them that make people want to get a big vehicle as well.

  • @GideonStyle not to mentiopn the need for comfortable large seating cars. and the fact that where im from trucks are kind of the vehicle o have. lol we dont race w 4x4

  • OUCH! ,,,.,that "smarts"!

  • you can see clearly that you will die in one this smart shitts. its stupid to buy this car when the car is not safe an economic on gas compare to the toyota prius or honda insight

  • Wow, I figured the Smart wouldn't do as well as the MB, but I did NOT expect the crash to be this lopsided. How much does that friggin' Benz weigh?? 15,000 lbs???? :O

  • And... Bam! Your smart for two is now a Dumb for None.

  • You would be pretty badly injured in the smart.

  • nope low risk of injuries for the smart!!! damm nazi's

  • The flying Mercedes logo looks huge enough to kill someone if it hit them in the head @ 1:22

  • 1:22 :D

  • check out the crash test 1959 chev vs, 2009 chev I would prefer my car crumple

  • At least the Smart doesn't crumple like those cheap Chinese cars.

  • @DatGuyRawkz well i would not entrust my life with either.

  • @DatGuyRawkz Are you serious? The Smart Car went FLYING, that video is like seeing a 250 pound Inside Linebacker smash into a 180 pound Wide Receiver at full speed. The Wide Receiver goes flying and the Linebacker stays put, just like the Smart Car goes flying.

  • smart just got pwnt LOL 

  • awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww shit

  • The smart did well. I can't afford a mercedes or spend my time walking because i'm scared of being hurt in an accident. Let's see the same test with a Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio. My point is that you would'nt want to be in any small car in a head on collision. I would buy a smart before a lot of cars. For fuel economy, looks and safety.

  • @rognoncru when a prius for similar price, larger size and more fuel efficient youve done an epic fail

  • @bigM10231 i hate them fucking ugly Priuses

  • @11254cdk well choose an alternative hybrid or diesel. VW jetta TDI gets 44MPG

  • Mercedes wins.

  • 1:20 mercedes' star is flying

  • they shoul test a hummer vs. a smart

  • @yoyorally it would jump it and land safely

  • smart car = not so smart car

  • 1.20

    

  • This is like Paris Hilton vs Mike Tyson, lol

  • come on guys your testing out a Mercedes crash on a fucking smart car

  • mmm no thanks on the fortwo

  • the dummy in the mercedes is like "WOAH that was a HUGE mosquito!"

  • Rename into Death Fortwo

  • yeeeeeeeeeeha

  • the smart is not safe afterall... oh my, what a surprize.......

  • @k46088969 You know the C300 weighs as much as a SUV right? That car took some really heavy metal...

  • @Neonspinnazz30 still wouldnt trust my life to that car, ill stick to my RX8 lol

  • who cleans up after all of these?

  • @wishihada150r The loser.

  • @wishihada150r Poor Consuela. She slaves away cleaning up all this wreckage for hours on end just so they can spend 5 seconds crashing cars into one another again. No... no... you clean up wreckage mr. peter.

  • @wishihada150r i do... it sucks

  • @wishihada150r the company that makes the car that did worse.

  • oO

  • what a horrible death... hmm.. for dummy in Smart.

  • lol

  • I just laughed so hard

  • dear god, shopping cart vs moving house. House wins shopping cart ppl dead in side

  • if your retarded enough to buy a smart car then you deserve to get hit by a merc

  • Fly away mercedes Logo .. you're freee .. 0:32

  • @TheGeeksftw Better is lose the logo in Mercedes, than live in Smart !

  • @TheGeeksftw im sure a punk took the mercedes logo and use it as Necklace :P

  • @TheGeeksftw THIS COULD KILL A BIRD C'MON !!!

  • @TheGeeksftw LOL!

  • @TheGeeksftw that helps them save money... instead of buying a new one... lol

  • The Smart actually got a Good rating from IIHS with regard to the Frontal Impact offset test... not sure why it reads Poor at the beginning of this video. (Search "Crash Test: 2008 Smart Car ForTwo" for a reference to my comment)

  • @niemeierk alot of people think they are unsafe, but considering its size it does really well alot better that a toyota yaris does :)

  • who in the hell would ever want to own a smart car?!!!!

  • @cjh661 35 year old women :)

  • It's a good thing cars here in NYC don't go 40 MPH ;) ..

  • smart for two would be a great gas saver. All we have to do now is teach people how to drive

  • Smart ForTwo is a toy :)

  • 1:21 mercedes label

    :)

  • coming soon: Smart VS airbbus 380

  • I feel sorry for the side walk cafe people killed by the flying Smart car.

    I could almost see it as a new Olympic sport....Smart car distance contest.

  • the smart car isn't so smart now is it?!!!!

  • teh Euro NCAP crash is better then the "strage" us tests that offer barly data <.<

    Remeber Ralph Nader and his book "Unsave at any speed"? :)

    Buy the way: we got lots of smart here in germany. Selling started in 1997.

  • instant parking for Smart driver..hahahaha

  • @WillSSj lol

  • Lol !! that was funny poor smart he is so small he he he , but hey! look, it's not that bad for a smart.

  • Notice how his head slams into the steering wheel and the air bag did nothing at 1:00 .

  • @Fathercoffee and notice how smoothly the larger car shifts its momentum from straight forward to glancing offside. The smart completely changes direction and the occupants must experience 2 to 3 x the force, It's simple mass-momentum-time physics to all the dope smoker hippies in the crowd. The smartie is toast every time.

  • Mercedes-Benz C300's Badge Description: Seal of Fail.

  • its like a rat (smart car) hitting a stone (m-b) =)

  • unless every car on the road is a micro-compact, even a compact car will crush it.

    wait until the worlds oil supply runs dry and we are all driving go-carts.

  • The Law of Gross Vehicle Tonnage demonstrated.

  • Holy crap... this video clearly demonstrates why more weight is better when it comes to a head on crash.

  • Smart Cars are actually Dumb.

  • that mercedes just punted a smart car!!!

  • Does the Smartcar dummy live?

  • I'd rather be in the smart fourtwo, then the 1959 Chevy, ya know..made of REAL steel, and none of that wishy-washy plastic!

    :)

  • ummmmmmm smart safety F A I L!!! LOL

  • well...your not commin out of that feelin o.k.

  • crash? that was more just the smart ricocheting off the merc, while the merc kept moving forward, lol! can you say pOWNED?

  • THE SMART JUST GOT PWN3D ! ! !

  • wahahah mercedes emblem is gone XD

  • To the Mercedes Fan boys (and girls) You obviously don't realize that the smart brand is wholly owned and in fact was created by Mercedes.

    You would actually be much safer in a Subaru or a Saab. (yes Saab is still around)

    A Merc is still a good safety pick though

  • for a small car the smart did quite well, you put a small car similar to the smart and it would do worse, mainly due to the fact that the smart has a stiff and strong structure. A heavier and bigger car will always do better though..

  • LoL min 0:14 u can c how the mercedes emblem flies away xD XD XD

  • lmfao ownage

  • this is what happens when you hit a shopping cart

  • that'll buff out

  • LMFAO! which ones the smart car? LMFAO

  • holy shit
