Special body-in-white measures
To also guarantee the excellent vibration behaviour of
the cabriolet-coupé when the roof is open, extensive
reinforcements were made to the body-in-white in
addition to the use of the described sheet qualities.
In addition to the higher sills, the cross members on
the upper edges of the doors and the reinforcement
of the rear panel, they are mainly in the introduction
of a supporting front underbody capsule made from
aluminium and diagonal struts mounted in the rear
area.
The underbody capsule and diagonal struts are
bolted. The underbody capsule connects the front
subframe to the longitudinal members.
Together with the diagonal struts, this creates an
additional reinforcing level and thus increases the
torsional rigidity of the whole body.
