Chassis - Bodywork
In order to reduce the weight of the vehicle,
the entire bodywork is made of aluminum
parts.
Despite the considerable weight reduction,
higher stability and resistance can be
achieved than with sheet metal.
The aluminum sub-assemblies are less
prone to bending and offer excellent
resistance to corrosion.
The overall bodywork structure is based on
a space-frame chassis.
The body assembly is completed with
external sheets (e.g., fenders, side panels
and roof) which, depending on the model,
are joined to the space-frame chassis using
different joining techniques.
The moving parts secured with screws, such
as the luggage compartment lid, the engine
compartment lid and the doors, complete
the body.
Repair Instructions
In the event of damage to the aluminum
parts, the repair always requires the
replacement of the part. Depending on the
extent of the damage, entire assemblies can
be replaced or just individual parts. It is not
permitted to carry out any straightening
work on the aluminum bodies, as can be
done with normal steel bodies, given that
aluminum cannot easily be restored to its
original shape.
In the space-frame section, joints are
normally made by welding.
The body parts may be replaced by means
of gluing, riveting, bolting and welding. The
aluminum bodies cannot be straightened
cold, as is the case with steel bodies, but
only at temperatures of approximately 392
°F (200 °C).
All body repair work must be performed
exclusively by certified body technicians at
an Authorized Ferrari Bodyshop .
