That car kept it's shape amazingly well. As old as that vehicle is, it did spectacular. This belongs in the lounge by the way.

Now that was funny - the subtitles was in Swedish!

In short they state that the carbon fiber front has been molded to bend in order to cusion the impact - and, as stated above, it was the only car ever that was able to be driven after the test.
