Driver and passenger airbags.
The t wo full-size airbags can be
inflated in t wo stages, depending
on the severit y of the impact. In a low-speed crash, the airbags
are only partially inflated, thereby
minimising discomfort to the
occupants.
Bodyshell structure.
The reinforced bodyshell contains
a highly resilient passenger cell
offering exceptional crash protec
-
tion. At the front of the car, the
cell is protected by a patented
system of longitudinal and trans -
verse 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 foot wells.
The reinforced doors (3) also

contribute to the overall rigidit y
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 replace -
able impact absorbers (5) protect
the bodyshell.
