Its not a crash test of the car, its a crash test for the wall.
There is a few items removed, like engine, gearbox some spot welds too. Boot has more weight in it as well. Lastl, the speed it was thrown at was more than what they do for normal crash testing.

i am so sick of seeing that video and people saying herp derp commodore not safe worst crash test ever.

as @SL/ENUT has correctly pointed out is the car was weakened, ballast added and car was run at a very high speed to test the facility.
