The body
Overview of the body
One of the key factors contributing to the vehicle's lower kerb weight was the use of high-strength body
panels, which account in total for 45% of the bodyshell weight. These special panels are used especially at the
body front end, where they are intended to absorb as effectively as possible the impact energy in the event of
a head-on collision.
In the floorpan area, the occupant cell is protected by three large tailored blanks in varying wall thickness. In
the occupant cell area, tailored blanks are connected sturdily and homogeneously to the front and rear ends
of the vehicle by a branched support system.
At the rear end of the vehicle, the side members are made from tailored blanks with different materials and
wall thickness.
Note
The repair concept is identical to that
of the Audi A4 ‘04 (B6).
