I visited a design firm as was asked this question...

[longbow]

Would you pay between $350,000 and $500,000 for a car or light truck that gives you and your loved ones a 99% survival chance for accidents at highway speeds? Yes it also has ballistic protection.

I said I don't have that much money to spend on a car.

He claims there are 300,000 people that would purchase his design if it goes into production. Picture in your mind an angular road warrior looking car and truck. The truck has similar lines to the Hummer H1 slant back. I think INGO would approve of the designs, but frown on the expense.

Makes more sense then spending the same amount on a useless sports car that depreciates in value so quick it isnt funny (lambourghini/ferrari)
If you have the money that is...

 

[MilliJac]

Well, I'm a single young man, so I will foolishly continue to think I am invincible and have no need for such silliness. Anyone who tries to snap me out of my delusions is obviously wrong, because of science.

 

[longbow]

The car has design cues from Baja racers but much nicer interiors

 

[Bfish]

I am not spending that kind of money on any vehicle!

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Does it come with ARs included, or at least hidden cradles for your own?

 

[MCgrease08]

Let's see... I save $300k by not buying the vehicle + $800,000 in life insurance coverage...

My family is ahead by more than a million bucks. I don't think my wife would let me buy it if I wanted to.

Paul Walker's fans wish he'd of bought one.

How many gallons per mile........or mile per gallons

 

[CampingJosh]

No. That's too much of a price premium for the very little increase in safety. We're already to the point where most late-model vehicles are very safe during a collision.

About 5,500,000 car crashes in the U.S. kill about 32,000 people annually. Survival rate is already 99% (assuming average of two people per crash). Admittedly that 5.5 million is all crashes, not just those at highway speeds, but I couldn't find any information broken out by vehicle speed.

 

[DRob]

Just another stupid hypothetical question!

 

[Tactically Fat]

If I had that kind of money that I could easily afford such a vehicle - I'd look into it.

 

[HoughMade]

No one can make that guarantee.

 

[ghuns]

Nine vehicles were found to have had a ZERO traffic death rate per million miles driven. Buy one. Save a few hundred grand.

Study Lists Those With Most, And Least, Driver Deaths

Happy to see all 4 vehicles in my family's fleet on the list. Well, I guess not technically, not all of mine are 2011 models.

Make it 100%, and we'll talk
