The first Chinese car to be sold in Europe has scored zero — the worst-ever score — in safety tests.

The JiangLing Landwind was displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week and is expected to arrive in British showrooms within months. It is already on sale in Holland, Germany and Belgium and has been billed as the vanguard of a new invasion of Chinese vehicles.

The two-ton 4x4 scored zero stars in crash tests last week by the ADAC, the German automobile club, which carries out tests for Euro NCAP. “It had a catastrophic result,� said a spokesman for the ADAC. “In our 20-year history no car has performed as badly.�


So how bad was it? take a look....

its China's plot to destroy the world.This is a very good possibility. I find it to have sound ground for being true.

i would feel safer doing 60 on a moped and hitting that same thing. AT least i would be projected from the heap of splitting bambo and Zen lamps..
