This was interesting to watch for sure!

You mention this was based on 2011 criteria in your message. If this is true, then I think the testers may need to update their crasher car to resemble a midsized SUV. Cars are much larger and heavier in 2024+ compared to the midsized sedan that was still pretty common in 2011.

Might score better than the S550 did on euro ncap, although that test has just got harder again.
The 2017 car got 2/5*'s which is 1 more than i thought it might get.

They did resubmit it in 2017 (facelift) and got 3/5*'s for having fitted lane departure warning and autonomous emergency braking.

Especially if you get hit by an EV. Those things are tanks. Or imagine a cybertruck slamming into you. I love me a cybertruck, but it’s a nightmare scenario getting hit by one.

It will score better but I am not sure it will get any more stars due to those changes. Before I left Ford we redesigned the Euro HR's on the S650 to better score on the whiplash portion to help recover some of those points.

How are European S650s headrests different than the North American ones?

Different bends in the armature posts and different foam geometry. They will be visibly different than the rest of the S650 fleet.
