(explosion sounds) - When you think of unsafe cars one of the first things that comes to mind is the Ford Pinto. which literally exploded whenever anyone hit it from behind. But the Pinto is far
from being the only car with the dubious honor unsafe. This episode is all about some of the riskiest cars ever made. And these aren't just cars
that could get you killed because risk comes in all
shapes and sizes, Jessica. These are the most unsafe cars ever made. - [Announcer] D-list. - Whether you're working from home, working out, listening

Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE. - The Chevy Camaro 1LE
is a badass muscle car with an equally badass
five star safety rating. So, why is it on my list
of the most unsafe cars? Well, turns out that
our brothers and sisters across the pond over in Europe
can't even own one of these because the aerodynamic bodywork is too dangerous for pedestrians. Look, all right, look at this thing, it's freaking sharp as heck. When you're right, you're right, there's nothing soft about this car and frankly being impaled
by one of these bad boys pushing 650 sweet sweet horse spurs would be a pretty sick way to go. European legislators feel that this car would be better classified as a weapon, and rather than removing
the huge front splitter and dive planes Chevy, Chevrolet Chase decided not to release
the car in Europe at all. And quite frankly I don't blame them, because the only thing more dangerous than a Camaro on the track,
is a Camaro in the air. - [Announcer] Number seven, Honda Civic. - Now I know what you're saying, the Honda Civic is one of
the safest cars on the road. So why is it on this list? Because the Civic, is one
of the most coveted cars on the black market. Which means, it's always
at risk of being stolen. According to the National
Insurance Crime Bureau, the Honda Civic was the
number one most stolen vehicle according to their
annual Hot Wheels report. We actually filmed an
episode of Wheelhouse for this channel, with a
Civic Hatchback and EG, and it was stolen later that day, thankfully, it was
recovered a few hours later. But still, part of the reason
at least for older models, is because they didn't have as many stock anti-theft features
that we see in cars today. But what makes them especially
attractive to car thieves, is that they're easy to strip down and sell for individual parts
which is much less risky than trying to sell a whole stolen car. Every time I think about
buying one of these cars, you gotta add to your budget,
a quick-release steering wheel and a hidden kill switch. It just comes with the territory. - [Announcer] Number six, any black car. - This next car isn't
one model in particular but it is a color. A study from Monash University
found that black cars are 12% more likely to get in a crash, followed closely by grey, silver and blue. White colored cars had the
lowest crash risk of any, followed by cream, yellow and beige. Now, if you might be thinking
the reason darker colored cars get in more accidents, is
because they're harder to see and differentiate in contrast
to their environments when driving at night, you are unfortunately absolutely right. But even if you pick a safer aka, less sexy color for your
car there may be a trade-off and risk because even though brighter cars increase visibility, silver and white cars are
targeted most for theft. So, it's damned if you do,
it's damned if you don't. If this is your first Donut video, go ahead and hit that subscribe button, hit that under notification belt so you don't miss any new stuff. - [Announcer] Number five, Hyundai Accent. - According to the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety, the 2014 Hyundai Accent Sedan was a tomb on wheels as it racked up the highest death rate
of any car that year. That sounds more dramatic
than it actually is because the car, generally,
had decent safety ratings. But, the total deaths per
million registered vehicles clocks in at a 104 over three
times the average which is 30. And although the 2014 Accent
got stellar reviews for safety in three crash tests, we had
missed the mark however is the side impact test, and
the small overlap front test. The test is designed to
replicate what happens when the front left corner of our
vehicle collides with another vehicle, or an object, like
a tree or a utility pole. But, if you were planning on
carrying your front driver side wheel in your lap, try to avoid running into things in
your Hyundai Accent. - [Announcer] Number
four, the Dodge Avenger. - The 2008 Dodge Avenger was
the replacement for everyone's uncle car, the Dodge Stratus Dodge. I drive a Dodge Stratus. Avenger was also sold
as the Chrysler Sebring and Chrysler 200, but they're
all basically the same cars. But unfortunately, the
Avenger and Chrysler 200 share another dubious distinction. They're tied for the
highest driver death rate with 67 deaths per million
registered vehicles with 260 for the Avengers. For comparison, the overall death rate is around 30 per million vehicles. So, this is like four times
higher than the average. That's crazy, but who
knows, maybe you're saying, "James, I'm a pretty mental dude, "who likes to drive an
affordable midsize four-door car "well, how bad can it be?" Well, if this crash test
footage is any indication, your face not only skids
off the front airbag but due to the side
airbag deploying too late, your skull will bash through the window and bounce off the doorframe
finally coming to arrest when the side airbag deploys and pins your face down against the window frame. Does that answer your
freaking question tough guy? Let me know in the comments below. - [Announcer] Number three, 1992 Gulf CL with a five
cylinder engine swap. - This car actually isn't very unsafe, I just wanted to talk about my own car and how cool I think it is. But the reason that it's unsafe, is because it's so cool you might die. And yes, it is possible
to die from being cool, just ask Elvis or little Pete or Tupac. (engine roaring) - [Announcer] Number two, Porsche 911. - While the 911 safety ratings
are fine what's dangerous about this car is the damage
it will do to your wallet. Porsche 911 will set
you back a cool $20,000 over the course of 10 years in maintenance and repairs alone. According to yourmechanic.com a brake pad and rotor replacement
will run you over $3,100. But, if we're talking about
safety in the traditional sense, I got to point out that the Porsche 930 did get the nickname the widowmaker because the turbo came on, so hard, and it was so light and
it was behind your head that it would, (whistling)
snap over steer is a real thing call your Congressman, talk about it. - [Announcer] Number one, Chevy Corvette. - The Corvette has always
been a lot of power for someone entering the
high-end sports car market. Stereotypically associated with guys having their midlife crisis. But, if you have a lack
of experience driving a high-end sports car, you'll
turn that midlife crisis into an end-life crisis
because the Corvette has the highest fatal accident rate of any sports car in
almost any car honestly. Clocking in at 9.8 per
billion vehicle miles, that's almost four times as many as the average for all vehicles. There's a couple of theories as to why but one, is that the Corvette tends to be the first high-end sports car that people with expendable
cash flow tend to buy, and since they're not always
the most experienced drivers, maybe they're trying to
compensate for something they tend to lose control of
a car with that much power. The other explanation is, many luxury sports cars don't
undergo crash safety tests and don't even have safety ratings at all, which makes sense if you think about it because you probably don't wanna ram a $60,000 car into a
bunch of metal barriers over and over again. That's cool million dollars of muscle, your junk and just to
learn what we already know, these cars get destroyed when you ram into stuff at high speed.
