"the front section that would normally contain a gasoline engine is used for a second trunk." I guess somebody has veto'd "frunk". Oh well.

- MrFoof 13y agoYes, but as a result, extra attention was probably given to the entire front of the vehicle, which is also usually the case for mid-engine supercars. The big reason why the small overlap test is being focused on (aside from cars doing so well in every other test) is because of the reliance of manufacturers relying on an engine block (though really, the front reinforcement bar) to provide some assistance in bearing and distributing crash forces in more serious front impacts. When a single A-pillar has most of the force to bear, it's not been pretty for nearly every other car on the market.
- tjmc 13y agoIn the UK & Australia it would be a "froot".
- kibibu 13y agoOr a "hat"
- sliverstorm 13y agoAll the auto clubs around cars with empty front sections call them frunks.
