I was also impressed by how well the structure of the car withstood the impact, but current car design favours a crumple zone at the front so I'm wondering whether this was a good thing or not.
The old design does seem to absorbs the energy and yes that was my understanding too regarding modern cars and crumple zones. Can’t seem to see one on the new tub though, just two stiff structural members aligned with the occupants.
