The car durability test was rubbish; it didn't seem to be in least bit technical or fair. Surely if each car was a different weight they would hit the ground at different speeds, which would affect the amount of damage caused? I think they have made cars radio controlled for crash test purposes before, so why not use that method. Either that or use a compressed gas rig.
On the plus side, I thought the V8 Vantage looked stunning, especially in yellow, and both it and the M5 Touring sounded fantastic.
