The reinforced bodyshell contains a highly resilient passenger cell offering exceptional crash protection. At the front of the car, the cell is protected by a patented system of longitudinal and transverse members (1). In the event of an accident, it disperses the force of the impact and minimises deformation of the passenger cell. Additional features include an ultra-rigid bulkhead cross-member (2) made from super high-strength steel. This element is designed to absorb impact forces from the longitudinal members and thus protect the front footwells. The reinforced doors (3) also contribute to the overall rigidity of the car. An additional load path (4) is used to channel energy through the upper part of the shell and thus further protect the passenger cell.

In minor collisions, easily replaceable impact absorbers (5) protect the bodyshell.
