I owned one of these remarkable cars in '80-1 and it was more fun than any car I ever bought. Amazing--and comfortable too!
@compwiz101 3 жыл бұрын
Considering this car first rolled off the line in 1971, it's kinda impressive. The bumpers were actually really tough - they were a composite material formed under high pressure, then they were mounted on rubber blocks backed by frame rails.

Yeee! Russian car was inspired by R5 - "Oka"1989. But firstly sayed, that Oka like japanese K-cars of 80's. But many of them alsou inspired by R5. Even R5 more bigger car. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrNhhsxl36rFlHU.html

Structurally, it's quite strong yes, but the HIC values indicate an almost instant death due to the huge sudden deceleration. Modern cars have values of 250-500. A 1982 Volvo 240 gets 545. This? 1940. Not good at all actually, but better than becoming a pancake in something like a VW Beatle or Golf from that era.

this was really impressive for 1980's standards notice how the roof doesn't crumple and the steering wheel moves up instead of inward. plus it had great head whiplash protection and the dummy didn't rebound and hit the b pillar either. this car did a better job in crash protection then most cars twice its size back then let alone in its own class back then.

@romanruzicka4736 10 жыл бұрын
There is very limited crumple zone with a longitudial engine in such a short car, so though the roof seems intact, the brains of passengers would crumple instead, moreover the seatbelts cannot cope with such a rapid deceleration. HIC over 1000 is deadly.

The reason this vehicle failed is due to the dashboard moving upward as well as insufficient occupant restraint (seat belts had too much give). If the dashboard issue could be fixed and a set of stronger seat belts installed, this might have done quite well. June 13, 2018 10:16 pm

French cars in general were usually unsafe for their time through the 1980s. In the '90s you started to see them pay attention to safety, especially Renault who made some of the safest cars in the world by the early 2000s. But in the '80s, vehicles from Renault and Peugeot almost always badly failed NHTSA tests. Citroen pulled out of the USA market in 1974, before NHTSA testing began in 1978, so they're an unknown. The worst two performers in NHTSA front test history were two French cars - the 1979 Peugeot 504 and 1982 Renault Fuego. Isuzu, Mazda and Honda were also some of the worst in the late 1970s; Honda made massive improvements starting around 1981-1982 and Mazdas were generally doing well by the mid-late 1980s. Isuzu improved as well to meet safety standards but stayed below average for the most part until they went out of business in the USA in 2008. February 20, 2022 1:26 am

Der R5 hat die Energie erstaunlich verarbeitet. Mit Airbag und anderer Lenksäule wären mindestens drei Sterne drin. Das Getriebe direkt hinter der Stoßstange sorgt dafür, dass die Bewegungsernergie der Motomasse nicht von der Karosserie aufgenommen werden muss. Müsste man heute generell so machen.

The energy transfer to the occupants was deadly. However, i'd like to see side impact tests. The box itself was robust but skin and bone have very clear limits of force absorption. Still. you could drive an asian pick up truck and do the same test at half the speed of this test and both passengers die. In fact the truck folds up so badly, may as well dig an extra big hole and call it your casket. Drop it in the hole and call it a life lived. Forgive the callous morbidity.

It was basically an improved R6 which in turn was far superior to the R8 / R10 although it was in turn an evolution of the Renault 4 ... On the other hand, it might be surprising that in the case of the R5 against the Ford Gran Torino it had a total shortening of only 48.3 cm compared to that of the Gran Torino: 78.7 cm. And it is that of the 1.4 meters of the total width of the front part (the maximum total width was 1.53 meters) 660 mm asymmetric (only 740 mm coincide (just 52.85% overlap with the front part of the Gran Torino which means for that great saloon only a 36.66% overlap) And the Golf I against the same saloon under the same speed and overlap conditions (660mm mismatched - overall width of its front end matches with its maximum overall width, which was 1.61 meters). Of the matching 950mm they only represent a 47% overlap for Torino, hence the total shortening was 63 cm and 59% overlap for the Golf I which meant a total shortening of 76.2 cm ... That is, the Golf I endured less level of effort than the R5 / LeCar under the same speed and overlap conditions against the same 2000 kg saloon including two dummies and measurement material (double the Golf I / Le Car). For the R5 / LeCar it is a hypothetical crash at just 50k / h (43.3 k / h for the Torino). For the Golf I / Rabbit I it is a hypothetical shock at 54-55 k / h (40-39 k / h for the Torino) This in terms of deformations. Because in terms of decelerations for both the R5 / LeCar and the Golf I / RabbitI, it is a theoretical shock of 62 k / h and barely 31 k / h for the Gran Torino ... And what when the opposite (the big and heavy ) It is more deformed and means less deceleration for the small car (HIC of "just" 553 which is not bad for a car without any type of airbags) ... Not as in the case of the Rabbit I / Golf I which, without being bad, is no longer so favorable (HIC of 656 and at the same time greater deformation of the passenger compartment and much greater total shortening). Although I keep repeating in those conditions of overlap and speed it is more than likely that "all" a Ford Torino of more than 5 meters long was much less aggressive than cars of no more than 4.7-4.8 meters at 50 k / hy 50% overlap from the late 90s ... Even a 2003 VW Polo at 50 k / h was much more aggressive against the Golf I than that Ford Torino ... Nor is it so strange knowing about the compatibility test of the Toyota Yaris II against the Volvo 940 (64 k / h each and 50% overlap). And let's not say about the compatibility test of the Renault Modus against the same Volvo 940 tb. at 64 kph each and 50% overlap. Regards Manolom.
