That depends on how much kinetic energy is present, as well as the design of the car and the type of impact. Specifics?
It depends on Speed of collision and what you mean by destroying. I would say extreme damage is destruction. Otherwise it is only destroying the shape. But remember real destruction never takes place as things take a different shape and still remains..

∙ 8y agoThe kinetic energy of the vehicles in the crash gives an indication of the amount of damage to the vehicles. It is proportional to the square of the speed, which means that for every 1% increase in speed before the crash, there is 2% more damage, as a rule of thumb.
