Well, you're not supposed to slam cars at high speed into trees
( or anything else in that case).
But Aluminum does have a low density (lighter weight per same volume) than steel. So it does have its good side.
Keep in mind that for that car, that accident , if steel would have been used, that car would probably be a ugly tangled mess !
Funny, you say Aluminium, I say Aluminum |
lol @ Aluminium
... I dunno but that spelling was always stuck in my mind .. thanks for correcting that ..
BTW I think Audi have thought of that and I think they deliberatly engineered the breaking points so that the driver can walk away unharmed ... Maybe this is the case .. BUT, in many photos of such cases, the rear passengers would've been badly hurt!
