Crash Test - "second hand" car

The car was a standard 'second hand' car except that the tail shaft was removed. 300kg of sand ballast was placed in the footwells and boot and a ballast dummy (75kg) was placed on the rear seat.

The test speed was 100km/h into a solid concrete reaction block.

They are actually testing the wall in this video. The car was modified and had 300kg of concrete in the back to really test the walls strength

And that it's only at 50KM/H, imagine if you crash at 100 or 120KM/H...

This test was done to test the facility, not the car.

The car had concrete in the footwells and boot and the test was designed to test the crash facility in a WORST case scenario. 80s Commodores aren't safe, but they're not this bad. Trust me; Personal Experience...
