This is the site I got the vid. from. It says that it is the only car ever to be driven away from a MIRA crash test.

The youtube notes say that it's a 40mph crash and that it did not have a real engine in it.

The car really seemed to shrug off the impact but that's in comparison to most road cars that we see in videos. Most cars are made to crumple on impact absorbing the impact to save the passengers.
