X150 crash tests

They haven't been crash tested by the government. But surely Jaguar themselves have crash tested it, right? I wonder what the results were.
I can't even seem to find many threads of people crashing their XKs on this forum. On the Mustang forum, there would be one of those threads every 5 minutes.

X150 XK is a pretty tough car. Two years ago a JLR dealer's service advisor in Samara, Russia, crashed a 2011 XKR in a collision. That jag was a demo car, he was doing 140kph, whith his girlfriend. It was a fall of march (so there was a lot of snow), the stability control was turned off.
On a X-ing the XKR went out of contorl, he was sliding and he hit a Camry with a rear left qt. of an XKR. During that collision the suspension was so badly damaged, that the wheel felt off with a driveshaft and misc.parts of a suspension. After that there was a head to head collision with a SsangYong Action. Action and Camry were totalled, XKR were totalled. No injuries.
The most amazing thing that it was still possible to open and close the doors of a XKR.

LOL That's why i prefer a Jags, imported from the U.S. market
Mine X308 have almost clean CarFax (one accident in a 2002, then it was exported in 2005). Anyway, i've saw a lot of X350 XJRs (wanted to buy one), all of them had a salvage title or something like that (don't forget an odometer fraud). I was unable to find one with clean history, so i've got a low milage 2008 XKR with a clean history (i have an access to DDW and i know all of the Russian dealers personally).
