ABSTRACT:
A self-supporting motor-vehicle body includes outer lateral side members (sills) on a substructure in the region of the passenger cell, and front and rear side members which are angularly offset relative to a longitudinal center axis of the vehicle and respectively located at a vehicle forward structure and at a vehicle rearward structure. The front and rear side members adjoin the lateral side members via a bent portion. In order to provide stiffening of the body, struts are secured to the substructure of the body so as each to be fastened at one end to a lateral side member, and directed towards a middle region of the vehicle with their other end fastened once again to the substructure of the body. A front strut is guided from each of the two lateral side members into the vehicle forward structure and/or a rear strut is guided from each of the two lateral side members into the vehicle rearward structure, with each strut preferably being aligned at an angle of approximately 45.degree. relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and extending along the substructure at least into the middle region of the vehicle.
