Does anyone know the QarmaQ’s safety ratings?

http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/geneva_auto_show_2007/73/hyundai-qarmaqs-plastic-skin-reduces-weight-saves-gas

With the lightweight plastic shell, how does the QarmaQ hold up in United States safety tests? How does it maintain its structural integrity in the event of a crash?

It is a concept, so I don;t think it has a rating. You can learn more about it here:

theres someone who made cars with plastic shells already. they found that if they collided with each other, what would happen is they would bounce off each other, creating minimal damage to the car, but when faced with regular metal cars, they're goners. i really dont know how this will work out.

Safety ratings aren't released or even performed on vehicles until they are trying to reach a production quantity.
