Default 928 crash test!

Why the 928 only appears on the crash test part of the video?

Because after they crash tested the 928, they had to replace the wall.

They ran the 928 through all the tests, it passed, they don't want you to see how bad the other models failed.

In all those crash tests the 928 looked very survivable. The 911 and 914 less so. Something to be said about having that hunk of metal under the hood. Shame to see that GTS go that way, though. The Shark was built like a tank!

So, hmm. Is it an SUV or a sports car?

And, I would have been really scared to have done some of those tests in an older 911 without active suspension control...

First time I've seen a 928 crash test. Impressive. It did as well as a Volvo 240.
