Hyundai had the unfortunate chance to see how its brand new rear-wheel-drive Genesis Coupe performs in a real-world crash when a 2.0 Turbo slammed into the concrete surrounding of a metal pole somewhere in Korea. Despite the severity of the crash and as you can see in the photos that have been circulating around the Korean blogosphere the past few days, it appears that in this particular car, both the driver and front passenger airbags failed to deploy.




To be completely fair, the Coupe's front-body structure looks like it did its job by absorbing most of the energy caused from the impact, which is a good thing in the event of an accident. We're not aware of the details surrounding the crash so if any of you happen to know Korean and you've read something about it in the news, feel free to enlighten us with a comment.

So sad! sad.gif I hope this isnt a common issue with their airbag system though.

 

This is what happens when you fall asleep at the wheel... sleep.gif

 

Thats a hard freakin hit.. Dam.. SH*T my airbags popped off at under 30. And they were ten years old. Jeeze I sure hope this isnt going to be an issue, and there is only one way to find out if they work, and I dont think any on wants to test that. Maybe they pulled the fuse for them.
