Back when the 740 was launched in the early '80s, Volvo made a big point of the fact the car was designed and built with a "safety cage" to protect the occupants in the event of a collision. That's what this ad is all about, there is virtually no deforming of the shell behind the A pillars despite it being dropped nose first off a building, you can drop them on their roofs as well with no buckling of roof supports
No its a 760. Ive seen this particular car at the Volvo Museum. Interiorwise you can hardly tell that its been through a crash like this. Steerting wheel is slightly bent, thats all.
how often do ppl crash their car by driving off a cliff? And even then, do they really want to survive that fall??? Bring on the ADAC offset crashes. More realistic considering how often drivers fall asleep at the wheel and cross into oncoming traffic.
@volvo145 Better watch all cars crash tests for new models . They are real shit :) Iven Volvo our days isn't so good like it was in 80s. All other cars in 80s and till end 0f 90s was better than in our days ;) In all components.
Good riddance.

yea, anyone can throw a car off a tall building, but no other cars besides newer volvos would sustain less damage than that

@ovsyan well even though i love volos that is jsut not true.
The cars were better in reliability and quality overall, but not in safety.

@volvo145 Try to crash any new Volvo like in that video and will see what will be with that :)

@ovsyan it will look very similar to the 760. Except it has airbags and stuff.
