Looks like the TTr came out on top. The miata lost.. big time.

Looks like the S2k came in middle of the pack.. long hoods help. Mother fuc*er of a crumple zone.

seems like the honda body absorbs all the impact once again... good design ... Benz still holds up but will crush you before it absorbs impact btw what speed is this? and what are those numbers?

I think for these tests the front impact was at a 40MPH.

By the crash pictures I've seen on this board, and the people able to post about it, I have no doubt that the S2Ki is one very very safe car. Open top or not.

I'm guessing, but I'd say the numbers are measuring the displacement of the impacted test piece.

Yes, if you can see the door line.
S2000 and MB SLK is the only car that shows clean door line.
That shows much of crash impact has been absorbed in front.

Also S2000 shows no damage to windshield while TT shows shattering side windshield that can be dangerous to driver and passanger of the vehicle.
