Question Collision Test Report (?) How RX8 compare?

I'm wondering if there are any collision reports done on the RX8.

I haven't seen any government (US or EU) crash test results yet, BUT Mazda designed the car to get top ratings in all tests - special attention was paid to having very strong side impact protection.

I´ll not heard about any serious damages to RX8 drivers/passengers yet in
a real accident? A couple totalled so far, no seriously/fatally injured Rx8 driver/passengers is that correct?

there is one case
a couple guys were going 100+ when they lost control of their 8 and jumped a divider, they split an Audi (i beleive it was) in half killing both occupants, both ppl in the rx-8 were fine, though (if i recall correctly)
