The Calspan RSV was the stationary target vehicle and was struck in the side by the Renault bullet vehicle. The test was conducted by Automobiles Peugeot in France. This crash test evaluated the structural integrity and dynamic response of the Calspan RSV, and the dynamic response of its three occupants when involved in a 75 degree side impact crash.
