This video shows the Gordon Murray T.50 supercar encounter obstacles such as cobblestones, potholes, a gravel mound, and a wild boar.
This round of testing is related to airbag calibration, GMA development driverexplains in the video. Conducted at the ATP Papenburg facility in Papenburg, Germany, the goal was to make sure airbags didn't deploy unnecessarily.
That meant subjecting the test car to forces production cars may experience, but where the driver wouldn't want an airbag going off, such as striking potholes and railroad crossings, driving over infamously rough Belgian Pavé cobblestones, or even climbing a gravel mound.In the more extreme tests, engineers drove the T.50 into a gravel heap at about 19 mph, launched it off a small ramp, and simulated a collision with a wild boar.
The prototype used in these tests—called XP1—survived everything intact. Having already seen a year of testing, it will be retired and used to train service technicians, and will then be put on display as a museum piece.
