Made In China - Car Crash Carnage
Since it seems that (again) there’s no REAL (meaning ‘interesting’) tech news around today, I thought I’d post a few videos of the world’s most poorly constructed cars.
First up? The Chery Amulet - one of Russia’s best selling cars. “As if the “Made in China” name wasn’t marred enough already” the Chery has achieved a whopping, undisputed one star rating. Where the number one came from, I’m at a loss… The car crumples, the steering-wheel nearly decapitates a driver, and going at anything more than 30MPH is a sure way to end up ‘on the other side’, if you get what I’m saying. via MobMag.
Next up is another Chinese sedan. The ‘Billiance’ (HA!) ‘BS6′ (Bull****6?) came back with a rather shocking one star rating. Excuse the German commentary, it’s the only version I could find. via Jalopnik.
Truth be told, whilst the carnage and destruction is incredibly interesting, I can’t help but wonder what a McLaren F1 and a Bugatti Veyron, crashing head on head would look like, from a spectators angle. I’ll have to ring up Jeremy Clarkson and see if he a can pull a few string for me.

You mean French commentary, right?!?
I love the way they bothered to go to the effort of installing an air bag; doesn’t look like much help from the evidence of these videos!!

Oddly enough, I watched that crash video twice. I have a suspicion I like it heh.
