With more and more natural accidents in cars, collision safety is more important.
Since the "one-hit fame" of the Passat of China Insurance Research Institute, many car owners have paid attention to the crash test.
Nowadays, ordinary family cars will be pulled to do crash tests, and even high-speed rail trains have begun to do crash tests, so why have the majority of luxury cars never heard of crash tests? For example, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani... Are they not concerned about safety?
Today we will talk about why the crash test has almost no luxury cars on camera.
I don't see luxury cars doing crash experiments
It is not that the manufacturer does not pay attention, but the testing agency is reluctant to do so
First of all, let's first consider one thing: a multi-millionaire luxury car, the rear seats are made of dignitaries and dignitaries, will their safety manufacturers not care?
The answer is clearly no... So why can't the major crash test agencies find crash test videos of luxury cars?
The answer is also very simple, the price is too expensive! No agency has the financial resources to touch such a car.
For this reason, a search on the Internet of Tiger finally saw such a passage in the China Insurance Research Institute and the foreign automobile insurance website (Automobile):
Translated into Chinese just one sentence: using Rouse for crash testing, concubines really can't afford it
Similarly, the crash test of The China Insurance Research Institute, as an insurance joint organization, cannot afford to consume luxury cars of rolls-Royce level. Because, the practice of Zhongbao Research Institute is that "all vehicles are randomly purchased by Zhongbao Research Institute from the market, and no car companies are accepted to send cars for review.".
Therefore, it is not that luxury cars are reluctant to participate in collision experiments. But the price of these luxury cars is too expensive, and the cost of the whole set of tests for the collision mechanism is too expensive, not that the national character mandatory agency cannot afford this "high consumption".
Therefore, all car owners can see a crash test in the media has a standard: monthly sales of 3,000 units, will be required to participate in the crash test.
Luxury cars do not participate in public tests
But crash tests are still done internally
As mentioned earlier, third-party testing agencies will hardly test ultra-luxury cars, does that mean that these millions of "mobile vaults" do not have to be tested?
Other car manufacturers are not so casual!
Take Rolls-Royce's world-only "Huiying" as an example!
The car was priced at 10 million euros in 2017, which was almost equivalent to 90 million yuan at that time! That's it in the world! Coincidentally, the owner of the world's most trenched Rolls-Royce is Chinese, Hong Kong billionaire Li Jianqin.
Although this car is unique in the world, Rolls-Royce actually built a total of 2 identical cars at that time. One was handed over to the Chinese billionaire, where did the rest go? - Sorry, in order to ensure the absolute safety of the top rich man, another crash test car experienced various impacts until it was crushed to pieces...
As for Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini...
In fact, if you will "climb over the wall" and go to overseas "YouTube" and other platforms to find it, it is not difficult to find some screenshots of the impact test released by the corresponding companies themselves. In fact, the collision standards of these top companies are not less difficult than the mandatory crash tests in various countries.
A very small number of supercars cannot use the whole vehicle to do crash tests because the production is too low, so they will also use "substitutes". Although it is a substitute, it is not a model, but an "empty car without an engine or transmission." The deformation feedback in the collision is exactly the same as the product sold!
In addition, whether these companies are willing to participate in the public crash tests of various countries is also a problem, and people are not willing to participate in public participation.
For example, many European countries do not have a mandatory requirement that manufacturers must participate in public crash tests. Some U.S. states require companies to participate in public experiments. At that time, a Porsche car was banned from being sold in some states because it refused to publicly collide.
When the car factory develops a new car, it will do crash tests inside the car factory, and the last products on the market have passed the car factory's own standards, and these standards are not necessarily lower than NCAP, or even more stringent. These big companies don't gamble on their company's reputation.
Because this model has not considered the cost of manufacturing, what is the best to use, so there is no cost control, even if I sell one a month, I can earn, regardless of the cost of building a car, not only safety, what do you think can be worse?
Highlight crash test scores
In fact, it is also a secret struggle between depots
In September 2020, CRRC Qingdao Sifang Base did a high-specification train collision test!
The collision rate of high-speed train collision test reaches 76Km/H, which is much higher than the speed of the car collision test. The train stopped safely, there was no track climbing, no derailment, no overturning, and there was no visible deformation of the skeleton structure of the body except for glass fragmentation.
The experiment is still a "head-to-head collision mode", the difficulty is greater than the European EN15227 collision standard requirements, the results of the test is very good.
Well, seeing this, did you think of something?
That's right, it's all propaganda! It's all about the hustle and bustle!
The purpose of crash testing is not only to test the safety performance of cars, but more importantly, to promote manufacturers to improve products, to make a trade-off between profit and cost, or to provide reliable data for the insurance industry based on crash test results, or to blackmail manufacturers into taking money.

In fact, for the safety indicators of the car, it is actually very simple to be safe!
It's just stacking! Body strength is positively correlated with thermoformed steel usage and the number of airbags.
But these are to increase the cost of making cars, but also are invisible costs, because the mass production car is not only about safety, you tell people that I use ninety-five percent of the thermoformed steel, eleven air bags, and full scores for various crash tests!
But the interior is rough, the workmanship is rough, the engine is rough, the gearbox is rough, and there is nothing but good safety, do you think someone will buy such a car?
It's ugly, such a car flying to the sky can only be a second-line luxury (Volvo: you reported my ID card)
Inside the old model, its design is not luxurious at all
Why? In the face of cost performance, safety is actually not so important.
Mass consumer goods need to be strictly controlled, and it is most important to be cost-effective. Wuling, which has tens of thousands of yuan without air bags, you go to see the sales volume, you say it's safe with them, they tell you there's no money.
Why? Divorced from the consumption level of most people, it is not a consumer product, it is called luxury!
21 years of sales statistics tell us that the cheap are always the best to buy
Manufacturers are neither philanthropists nor fools, people have survived so far, first of all to make money, making money is the premise of everything, the same car, expensive twenty thousand can be dead warped, can he not save costs?
But remember, subtracting where you can see is far better than subtracting where you can't see.
Do you really expect people to sell your trolley, not to make money, but to make a friend?
Many cost-effective goods are made by the surrounding areas, LeTV's cost performance is to lose money to make money, looking back at a "return to China next week, suffocate for dreams", the result is what everyone has seen.
