Audi TT: Side impact test for LSD wing doors

Fourtitude has an article about an Audi TT and a side impact test for LSD wing doors which supplies proof of safety in an impressive style. This is quality "made in Germany"!

The side impact test has provided the proof. The patented LSD wing door hinge system – whose mechanism allows the wing doors to open sideways and then to swing upwards – provides an optimum level of safety in the event of a side impact. The test was conducted in accordance with Directives ECE- R 95 and 96/27/EC which is applicable for automotive producers.
The DEKRA Accident Research and Crash Test Center has confirmed that equipping a vehicle with LSD wing doors provides the required level of protection and ensures optimum occupant safety. The side impact test conducted confirms that the maximum permissible loading values for occupant dummies even fall short by a significant amount.

You can watch a video of the crash test on the LSD homepage.
