With 755 horsepower the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette zr1 is the most powerful Corvette ever it's also the most technologically advanced behind me are the rolling s's at Road Atlanta and we're here to see if we can reach to the supercar levels of performance afforded by this thing's massive power big tires and the tall wing on the back after that we'll take to the streets to see if a car this powerful can behave itself in public this is a monster of a car I've had some brief track opportunities moving this morning to get used to the pace of this machine which is phenomenal we're gonna warm up as we get out to the road Atlanta and sort of build up to the pace that this car can operate at now initially when you hop in this car you have this shrine to the engine right above you you see the line of the hood it kind of dominates the center of the view you can see over it it doesn't affect visibility but it's immediately obvious and that kind of speaks to what makes this car special it's a monster of an engine listen to that [Music] that is tremendous tremendous acceleration and incredible power but what I finding so far my brief time here at the Atlanta is that everything else in the car is rut has risen to match hurt me while I lay into it on the back straight look you know 150 mile - an - hour indicated we're going to ease up a little bit on it because I need to focus on talking rather than driving but like I was saying the attributes of the rest of the car the steering the braking capability the grip every system of this car is riding to the same level of the power and I think that's what makes it really impressive initially this is undoubtedly a mega mega fast car but it's one that doesn't terrify you with its performance potential there's a level of electronic sophistication that is unparalleled at this price point but it's hard not to get you know totally slipped away by the power of this engine so that's why I keep coming back to it this car has an electronically controlled limited slip differential it has shocks filled with magnetically responsive fluid that can react faster to inputs and everything this car has a super sophisticated stability control system that teaches you how to drive it quick but also makes you go faster we haven't even gotten into exploring it yet because the limits of this car are so high that frankly it takes a while to grow into it but [Music] I think what's impressive about this car is despite how fast it is it is approachable you can buy this car to track dates with it and grow with it as a driver and as an owner I think that's a really special [Music] because you will never be more talented than this car is fast ever unless you are a racing driver casually grazing under 50 miles an hour on this straight okay I'm just going to enjoy driving this now [Music][Applause][Music] this particular Corvette zr1 comes with the cars track performance package a lot of those changes happen underneath the sheet metal but one of the big differences that is immediately obvious is this giant carbon fiber wing now the way this thing is mounted is actually into the structure of the vehicle and it makes you know loading the rear hatch a bit more difficult but we're assuming that's okay if you're looking for the track performance this thing delivers also giving you that performance are these Michelin Pilot Sport cup tires which are basically track oriented tires that you can drive on the street but as we wake our way to the front of the thing what really matters is what's under the hood that's right there's actually a hole in the hood of this thing and that's because this engine is so tall it's tall because it has a larger supercharger and a bunch of added cooling on it to help it you know keep at the right temperature the supercharger is way larger than the one on the zo six and it has a more cooling capacity and the downside is it's taller so it pops literally through the hood the cool thing is from the top you can actually see this shake when you're looking at it from you know a camera from the top of the vehicle this all makes for 755 horsepower making this the most powerful Corvette ever now what's important about that is this not just the power but likewise everything in the car has to be built to accommodate and be able to drive to the level of speed this thing can develop that's why you had the massive cooling so I had the aerodynamics and that's why I had the electronic sophistication inside [Applause] we had a lot of time to take this car on the track yesterday and I've had the night to think about things Matt today two crews on the road and see how this extreme performance machine deals with the sort of more civil minded stuff of street driving the track impressions remain this thing is unquestionably one of the most capable cars you can get from a dealer these days a lot of that's besides the point now because we're on the street we have speed limits they have the ever - present threat of law enforcement around every corner so the question is what does this car feel like in public when you slow this car down it feels like a more powerful Corvette you don't get much tram lining from these big wheels though we as the front end doesn't want to follow grooves in the pavement it is louder it is a little firmer but it's certainly livable on a day to day basis that's surprising for a vehicle of this capability normally these track oriented cars are so hardcore that you wouldn't want to drive them to the racetrack but let's face it you spend more time driving to the track than you do on the track and the fact that this thing works well in both disciplines is really impressive I can also dial everything back and cruise and not feel like I'm getting punished for driving a hardcore track machine that's a that's a really nice accomplishment that's something that you won't find in cars that are this fast and costs maybe double this much the engine in this car dominates the entire experience you can't miss the engine and the whole friend this car is sort of a shrine to it the way it pops out of the hood the way it's covered with coolers around the sides it is the experience of this car and that does make driving this thing special and also the fact that it doesn't look half bad either in fact I think it has some of the coolest looking wheels currently available on a new car this car as we mentioned this car has the track package the track package on this car gives you what they call competition bucket seats which are a little wide for my tastes but I'm you know not the widest person in the world this automatic transmission works well I mean there's so much torque again out of this engine that it can be very smooth and almost imperceptible its clunky on occasion I think I'd might opt for the manual although Chevy tells me about 80 % of its customers will go for the automatic I don't think they're gonna be disappointed and that's gonna be the faster transmission drag strip on the street - and on the racetrack man it was a little bit more satisfying to my taste though we've talked about the exhaust I have it set in the track setting let's quiet it down a little bit so you can hear the difference now I've set that separately from everything else so let's put it stealth what happened to the engine sound that's pretty that's pretty amazing man stealth is really stealth and then go back to track Wow actually a really big difference that's that's pretty great the Corvette has always been a strong value proposition and nowhere is that more evident than this zr1 giving you a nearly unbeatable track performance per dollar now the nice thing is on the road this doesn't feel like a ragged edge track machine either you could genuinely drive it every day the compromises are few and that's what makes this car so special if you like what you see keep it tuned right here and be sure to visit Edmunds.com [Music]

In the side impact, the head of the dummy was exposed outside the structure of the vehicle, increasing the risk of dangerous head contact in real - world accidents, and the score was penalised.

Beginning with 2006 models manufactured after June 2006, design changes were made to the rear door structure and trim to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).

«In order to win, automakers have beefed up the side structures of vehicles and added side airbags to do a better job of protecting people in serious side crashes,» Lund says.

Of - course the adoption of such a door system raised a few challenges in terms of making the vehicle safe, but Ford has addressed these requirements by moving the high - strength body - structure from the central body pillars and integrating it directly into the doors in order to ensure excellent protection in the event of a side impact.

The results for the Verona and Maxima show that vehicles with weak side structures are unlikely to provide effective protection in serious side crashes, even if they're equipped with head - protecting airbags.

By limiting the study to vehicles with side airbags, the researchers were able to bring other factors such as structure into sharper focus.

The list of safety features includes Vehicle Stability Assist ™ (VSA ®) with traction control, side curtain airbags with rollover sensor, Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist, and Honda's next - generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering ™ (ACE ™) body structure.

«To do really well in this test, vehicles need to have both side structures that resist major intrusion and side airbags that protect occupants» heads,» O'Neill says.

That vehicle rated poor for protection in small overlap front crashes, as the structure was seriously compromised and the side airbag didn't deploy.

We also increased safety of the new Sonata in a side - impact test,» said Yang Hee - won, director of vehicle structure design.

Beginning with 2012 models, Hyundai / Kia modified the side airbags and side structure in slightly different ways between the two vehicles to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes.

The passenger cell of the new E-Class is a robust structure which is virtually immune to deformation and keeps the passengers» survival space intact, even at high impact speeds, regardless of whether the collision is head - on, from the rear or from the side, or whether the vehicle rolls over.

Some vehicle structures look the same on both sides, but they don't perform the same.

The 2018 Honda Fit also features a long list of standard active and passive safety features, including Vehicle Stability Assist ™ (VSA ™) with traction control, driver and passenger front and side airbags, side curtain airbags with rollover sensor, Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist and Honda's next - generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering ™ (ACE ™) body structure.

The reparability of the Life module's CFRP structure was already a priority in the development of the vehicle concept; for example, several repair stages were set out for the side frame.

Makers probably will have to add structure to the sides of vehicles to reduce penetration by other vehicles and thus reduce injuries to passengers in the struck vehicle.

To the outside of the vehicle it has Factory Jet Black M Double Spoke Alloys, Black Mirror Caps, Carbon Roof Structure, Black Chrome metal effect Grilles and Side panel frames, Factory 10 mm Suspension Lowering, full Service history including BMW running in service carried out @ 800 miles.

Beginning with 2006 models manufactured after December 2005, further changes including additional B - pillar reinforcements, a modified roof structure, side curtain airbag updates, and modified door trim panels were made to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).

In the present study stronger side structure and energy absorbing padding was the most common potential vehicle design countermeasure identified; this countermeasure alone was estimated to be capable of preventing 6 percent of the fatalities and an additional 11 percent when combined with other countermeasures.

Three prominent lines give structure to the vehicle when viewed from the side: the front structural edge over the wings flows towards the rear end in a characteristic dropping line.

Inside, you'll get the typically generous array of standard Honda safety features including Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control, side curtain airbags with rollover sensor, Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist, and Honda's next - generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure.

Test results in that initial round were so bad we nearly broke our budget for repairing the crash test dummy, but now most vehicles ace the side test thanks to side airbags and stronger side structures.

The driver side hits the barrier, so a relatively small area of the vehicle's front - end structure must manage the crash energy.

The strength of the side structure of a vehicle also is important in this test.

In addition to applying the next - generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering ™ (ACE ™) body structure to most of its models, American Honda has applied the following safety features on all its models as standard equipment: Vehicle Stability Assist ™ (VSA ®) with traction control; an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS); side curtain airbags (most vehicles equipped with a rollover sensor as well); dual - stage, multiple - threshold front airbags; and front side airbags.

The all - new Subaru Global Platform dramatically increases the rigidity of the Crosstrek through the increased use of high - tensile materials, as well as a strengthened structure at the sides and back of the vehicle.

Gravel's off - road terrain certainly factors into the damage modelling as crashing into large trees, rocks, immovable structures, barriers and misjudged jumps will result in a reduction in the engine's power and erratic steering as the vehicle pulls to one side rather than remaining in a straight line which means the player will have to fight against the car when damage modelling is switched to active.

These side missions are hit and miss with some being quite fun, like causing the biggest explosion you can by hurtling a vehicle at high speeds towards a structure, or getting the highest chaos scores in a specific outpost.
