It would seem that Renault have now come a cropper when allowing their cars to be subjected to the infamous elk test.
Apparently, some german boffins from the ADAC were testing their new budget car, the Logan, and simulated an emergency lane change at 40 mph which resulted in the car flipping and landing on its roof. They tested many other cars and none reacted this way ie only understeered.
To make things worse the car became structurally unstable as the a-pillar crumpled in meaning the doors wouldn't open.
