RE: [DML] DeLorean crash test..the long version...

["James Espey" <james@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The report that I posted a link to earlier notes that a Volvo steering wheel
was used, so the "big hollow area" in the DeLorean steering wheel is
irrelevant as it was not the one used in this test.

 

The cars used in these videos were production cars, with "crumple
extensions" though most likely without the added reinforcement of the front
end recall (which wouldn't have had much effect, if any, in a 35/40mph crash
like this).

I'm seeing an airbag deploy in that video?? Does this explain the big
hollow area in the steering wheel?

Is this perhaps before they added the crumple extension to the frame?
