The report presents the results of two side impact tests conducted on a Minicars RSV by Regie Nationale Des Usines Renault in France. Both tests consisted of 75 degree side impacts, one to the left side and one to the right side, of the stationary RSV. The bullet car in each test was a 1978 Renault R20TS Hatchback. The left side impact occurred at a speed of 31.2 mph and the right side impact at 40.5 mph. These crash tests evaluated the structural integrity and response of the Minicars RSV, and the dynamic response of its three dummy occupants in 75 degree side impact crashes.
