Hey PetrolHeads last time we did The worst cars ever built well today we are doing The top 10 most unsafe cars ever built. With that said let’s start.
1. Maruti Alto 800
The structural flaws and weaknesses in the frame afforded this car a zero star rating in the car safety area. It failed more than one independent and comprehensive crash test that showed it posed high risk of life threatening injury. , these cars received zero for adult protection ratings in a frontal impact at 64km/hr.
This Tata nano was even the world’s cheapest car, it was also unsafe.The vehicle structure was rated as unstable, increasing the risk of life-threatening injuries and making the car unsuitable for the fitment of airbags. It had scored zero stars in the europe Ncap . Anyway the production of this car stopped in April 2020.
Rover 100 (1997)
The 1997 car is reduced to a mangled wreck after it hits the barrier at 40mph – with occupants facing life-changing injury or death – even though fitted with an airbag.But anyone who crashed in its modern day equivalent, the Honda Jazz, would walk away from the head-on crash with minor bruising.Thatcham Research, which is the UK’s Euro NCAP accredited crash testing centre, crashed both cars to show how manufacturers have raised their game when it comes to safety.The Rover 100’s safety cell was “severely compromised” while the driver’s compartment of the Jazz remained intact.
Chevrolet Bel Air (1959)
The Chevrolet Bel Air was a full-size car produced by Chevrolet for the 1950–1975 model years. Initially, only the two-door hardtops in the Chevrolet model range were designated with the Bel Air name from 1950 to 1952.he Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released on Thursday a video of a crash test between a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 2009 Malibu to demonstrate how car safety has improved. Not to simplify matters too much, but the Malibu won. And several Wheels readers speculated in comments that the car didn’t contain an engine, which would have affected the test.
Well that’s the last of the unsafe cars in this list. Anyway see you next time Goodbye!!
