I don't care how well the car held up, that still looks like instant death!

You might live, but I doubt you'd walk away.

Crazy video though!

That was insane!!

Look closely during the slowmotion replay, while the camera is zoomed into the accident watch the barrier and notice the chunks of concrete falling off on the end that is closest to the camera. I have never see a vehicle shatter like that.

I agree. While you may survive that crash don't plan on walking for quite a while.

Not only is it a tiny egg, much of the exterior is plastic, which is what you see shattering and spraying all over the scenery...

For a crash into a solid barrier at 70 MPH, it survived amazingly well - it was an angled crash, not straight on, so the driver would likely have survived, but not the passenger... (Brit - driver on the RIGHT).

(Our crash tests are either straight on or on the driver's side...)
