So let me be the first one to say that it doesn't look very good. Look how the A-pillar and roof are deformed. 5kph faster and it would be much, much worse. Clearly it has been designed to deal with the speed of 64 kph and 65 would destroy it :)
Do the crash tests at 80 kph, EuroNCAP guys - I'm begging you. It doesn't make sense to crash cars at 64 anymore. All get 5 stars, so whats the difference?!
@MfalmeVTold This defomation is desired and calculated by engineers. Deformation is necessary to absorb the shock. If the car does not deformed during the collision, the passengers could suffer a sharp slowdown that might dammage their internal organs. The only rule is that the deformation does not affect the physical integrity of the passengers...
The front of the car looks a bit like an A1

@theaet330 there are many cars looking like that when doing pole test (looking bad), but only the driver's result will tell us if it's ok or not.

@ContreJours Yes, of course - you are absolutely 100% right and there's no other way than to agree with you!

I'd say it is a great result; doesn't seem to be getting even close to its limits. Well done.

Meh, I guess safe enough for a compact car
