The vehicle might be well equipped to prevent deformation of it's body and structure...........however, the occupants will all be killed due to the acceleration forces.

I'm quite impressed with the crash test video............but, be assured that it's no match for any heavy sedan or light truck ($hitboxes included).
That must have hurt for you to type

But to quote a famous engineer; "You canna change the laws of Physics!"

Anyhow, I'd like to see a real crash with the Loremo rather than a computer model. Some of those Eurobox cars seemed to do rather well in partial head-ons. Perhaps this one will do the same but you can only say definitively once you've crashed about 20 of them.
