I Wonder

You don't want to hit hard in any of these cars.

 

is this current? i only hope father and son are ok and will fully return to good health.

 

Boxer would look the same. They weren't designed with accidents in mind, just uncomfortable speed.

 

From what I heard, the driver was banged up. In addition, the damage (from what I heard) was due to the emergency services, attempting to get to the passengers as fast as possible.

 

Clearly. Look at the deformation. What force vectors would produce such a mess? Almost looks like a grenade went off inside the car.

 

I second that emotion!

It is amazing how far cars have come in terms of safety, especially sports cars. Not many crumple zones in a Countach or BB...at least, though, these are safer than, say, my Triumph TR3. (Nothing like driving a car with cutaway doors where your head is at the level of most SUV bumpers. To make it worse, Pete Snell (of Snell helmet ratings) was killed in a sidescreen TR!!!)

 

I looked at a Countach recently and the frame looks much smaller and less robust than a Boxer, especially up front. I think a Boxer would hold up a little better than this.
