Mercedes-Benz crash tests in the 1970s

[@TheMpamMpam]

That was the era that companies still inovated and came with their own solutions and didnt only copy one another...

[@mihaelmiles7184]

TheMpamMpam sometimes copying is only solution

[@TheMpamMpam]

@Ross Bourne very true but regardless the reason, innovation and originality suffers because of it

[@exxusdrugstore300]

Lol the car industry has been copying each other since it's inception. Get off your pedestal.

Mercedes until 2000 was the most reliable car in the world .

@Joe Digges Prior to 1995-ish Mercedes was RENOWNED for their reliability and build quality. Everyone knows this.

Two Chevy model cars had them in the late 1970s. I think it was like 500 cars only and it was between the Impala and the Caprice

It seems like back then car mfrs and consumers didn’t care much about safety besides Mercedes and Volvo. After my mom got into a car accident in her Camry she insisted we get a Volvo and Mercedes.

And how did ford or gm test their crapy cars in 70’s ???

[@Steve1766]

there are tests of GMs

[@bobjohnson205]

Ford tested their cars in real life! (Pinto) lol

[@speakfreeley4473]

Wonder why early on the test "stroke 8" is using W116 rear-lights?

[@bencosgrave3902]

They were testing the design of the ribbed rear lamps also to show how they could still be seen with mud and backspray on them, led to the 2nd Gen ribbed rear lamps

[@speakfreeley4473]

@@bencosgrave3902 Should know about ribbed lights. Once owned a later "Stroke 8".

Looking at the Reck of princess Diana ,Dodi fayed .....that Benz was Shocking .

[@captmcneil]

It held up damn well considering the speed. And it wasn't a standard S class - it was bullet proof, and these cars are damn heavy, around 7000 to 8000 pounds or 3-4 tons. Additional energy that has to be absorbed. Anyway, Diana would be alive today if she was wearing her seat belt.

[@mattiasjohansson1727]

Most 90s cars would have been completely toast after an accident like that, the passengers too. The W140 was maybe the safest vehicle available back then.

[@Beethoven80]

The one wearing a seat belt survived the crash!
