Hummmmm... Obviously the test wasn't for crash purposes... I think they were demonstrating the high speeds attainable by a wasserboxer... that vehicle must have reached at least 200 mph in the 8 seconds it traveled the length of the track, and likely was still accelerating as it tried to plow through that wall since the engine was still running at the rear.  But, actually the video is a bit of a yawner and a bit boring - we all know the tanacity of the beast since we drive 'em every day.  Right? Personally, I have a hard time keeping my beast under control...  I did a 200 mile run up to the mountains to Prescott yesterday and had to constantly watch it to keep the speed down below 100 mph with the AC full blast... its tough driving a vehicle that has so much power!!
