I suspect it was an 88 or earlier silver/graphite 244 that they used in another duct tape myth. Note, the 244 was in rough shape before the test. Unfortunately, their test rig failed and the car hit the concrete K-rails rather than the duct tape... it wasn't pretty. That being said the 60MPH resulting offset crash actually looked survivable with seat belts on.

I just wish they'd quit crunching perfectly good Volvo parts out of the used aftermarket!

Good show though!
