| VW Designs a New Weather-Testing Facility |
|
The next time VW tells you that they've thoroughly tested their cars, you should probably believe them. They just spent $38 million on a new testing facility that can simulate the worst weather conditions imaginable in a booth large enough to fit a car. The facility holds multiple cars at once in different booths that operate completely independently of each other. The whole facility contains 50 separate modular booths, each large enough to hold one car. Each booth can fully test a car twice a day. Temperatures in the booth go as low as -40 degrees and as high as 302 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity can be varied up to 95%. The pictures are really quite interesting.
