Safest Muscle Car Analysis

The “Safest Muscle Car” title will be on the line between the Mercedes C63 AMG S and the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. First and foremost, the Germans have been practicing automotive manufacturing a bit longer than most countries. After all, it was Karl Benz who, in 1879, first patented the internal combustion engine and then in 1886 received a patent for his first automobile. What it takes for a car to be considered “safe” is how well it manages in a collision and how much stress it takes off of a collision if it were to happen.

Karl Benz started the company in 1883 and started with a three-wheeled car in 1885. The first inexpensive, mass produced car was named the Benz Velo in 1893 (Bellis, Mary). Mercedes sold 1,739,854 cars in 2014 only.

Mercedes-Benz has been in the industry of car making since 1883 to today. Every AMG C63 Coupe comes standard with front side airbags, front pelvic airbags, a driver knee airbag, and full-length side curtain airbags. Additional safety features include Collision Prevention Assist Plus and Pre Safe, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Neck-Pro front head restraints move forward and slightly upwards in an impact that exceeds a preset threshold. The head restraint reduces the distance between the head restraints and the heads of front-seat occupants, which reduces the possibility or severity of whiplash. A system interconnected elements work together to help protect the occupants in a collision. High-strength/low-alloy and ultra-high-strength steel are used in critical areas such as the roof pillars, floor and roof crossmembers, door beams,and various reinforcements throughout the body. Advanced front and rear crumple zones deform progressively to help the energy of impact be absorbed, while the front bulkhead helps channel some impact forces under, over, and around the cabin of the vehicle. BAS (Brake Assist Senses) sense emergency braking via the

The Brothers were early stockholders of the Ford Motor Co. Their Dodge 4 was accepted by the army. The price of the Dodge cars were $785 while also being fourth in sales in the United States overall in 1916 with 70,700 units sold.1,000 of the Dodge 4’s were produced a day (. The average price for a Hellcat is $60,990 (TrueCar). Dodge has sold six million cars, two million pickup trucks, and a total of five million SUVs and Crossovers in January through September of 2015 (The Wall Street Journal). Dodge has been around since the 1910s all the way to today. The Hellcat has advanced driver and front passenger airbags, supplemental front, rear and side-curtain airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags on the standard. The Foundation of the body and frame is a solid structure built with steel. Steel safety frame and substantial roof strength construction helps protect the passenger compartment if an accident were to happen. Blind spot monitoring assists in making lane changes more safely. Adaptive Cruise Control maintains a safe distance between the vehicle in front, Forward Collision detects if the Challenger is approaching another vehicle too rapidly and alerts the driver. A ParkView rear back up camera has a wide angle of vision and grid lines to assist the driver to maneuver into parking spaces or narrow areas. All speed traction control detects and manages wheel slippage by automatically applying
