Looks like they were shooting for that driveway, but when they hit the brakes the weight shift caused the rear end to brake loose and slide.

Was a good recovery though, and lucky.

A badly-made fake trailer for a "documentary" about the "mysterious" Volkswaffel (that's how they pronounce it, which makes it the THE PEOPLE'S WAFFLE) consisting of VW Bugs being dropped out of the skies.

They basically dialed-in the suspension individually for each test so the car 'knew' the route+obstacles before hand.

Like everything else Bose makes, it was 50/50 crap and pure marketing bullshit.

One of the more interesting armored car ideas came from the US National Defense Research Committee in early/mid-1941. The two models, an 8-wheeled vehicle to be armed with the British 17 pounder and a 4-wheeled vehicle to be armed with the 40 mm gun M1, both incorporated a novel independent suspension that would allow the vehicles to jump over obstacles. The vehicle would squat, then the energy contained in the springs would catapult the vehicle into the air. No prototypes were constructed, but tests on a full-scale wheel with associated hydraulic jumping mechanism manufactured by the Baker Manufacturing Company indicated that, at 40 mph, the vehicle would be able to clear a 49-inch tall obstacle or a 47-foot wide ditch.

As US armored vehicle historian R.P. Hunnicutt noted, "[h]owever, under estimating the dimensions of the obstacle might have been disastrous."
