Have you ever thought about how auto manufacturers evaluate their cars' strength and reliability under challenging and sometimes even extreme, but nonetheless, real conditions and scenarios? That's where test centers come into the picture.
We don't often get the opportunity to see what goes on at these centers, so when our spies told us that they took pictures and a video of a 2015 Smart ForTwo prototype undergoing some stressful and damaging tests, we just had to share.
In the video footage, we see Daimler/Mercedes-Benz/Smart engineers heavily abuse the 2015 ForTwo, making it jump and run over man-made wooden ramps, smash into objects, all for the safety and well-being of the car's future drivers and side passengers.
The ForTwo took quite a beating, cracking and breaking its bumpers, smashing its face and even losing its hood, but don't take our word for it, watch it for yourself in the following video.
