ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle front section has an impact-absorbing underside. A drive unit and/or at least one chassis member, attached to the front section, is fixed to a subframe. For greatest force absorption at extreme loads on the front section, e.g. in a vehicle collision, opposing abutment surfaces arranged in pairs in the subframe and supporting portions of the front structure essentially across the vehicle are urged towards each other to effect force transfer between the subframe and the supporting portions of the front structure.
