2008 smart car crash test
In recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests, the 2008 Smart Fortwo, the smallest car for sale in the US market, earned the top rating of good for front and side crash protection. Its seat/head restraints earned the second highest rating of acceptable for protection against whiplash in rear impacts.
The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument
panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space
was maintained very well.
