The reverse hopping clip is from a Peugeot 306. All versions of the 306 have a torsion bar suspension in the back. Same with the Citroens from that Era. Cheap french rear axle design that works. Its most commonly used nowadays on trailers. And best part, with a few tools you could easily set the ride height at the back by unscrewing a bolt, compressing the suspension and then tighten the bolt again.

[@jessevanmierle5752]

I have a 306 phase 2 from 1999 myself and that torsion bar is pretty awesome, not only does it give a comfy ride it's also very serviceable, replacing shocks just requires a jack plus an axle stand and a 18mm and 22mm socket. and if you need to remove the entire rear wheel suspension you just need to remove 6 bolts, loosen brake lines and abs sensor lines and you got the entire bar out, which in my case has to be done because one of the trailing arms is stuck

[@TwoKnowingRavens]

The DeLorean was a deathbox because of the stainless steel body panels. They added so much weight it made a 35mph crash feel like a 60mph crash. And the frame could not hold down all that kinetic energy. The weight was distributed away from the frame so it had a lot more kinetic energy stored "higher" on the car and that's why you see so much movement in the body/engine mounts. Rear mounted engines also carry more momentum through the entire episode of the crash rather than it dissipating on initial impact. Stainless is not strong, it's corrosion resistant, but it's soft and heavy compared to other steel.

[@lazypanda88]

it filled me with pride when I learnt that Sandro is a Diver!

[@Perry_dAccard]

Some Peugeots and Citroëns can do that hopping thing even with good shocks, it's like a little party trick. It's because of the way the suspension is set up with trailing arms and torsion bars (panhard rods). Not a very sporty setup, but easily adjustable, excellent for comfort and it gives room for lots of suspension travel.
