ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body structure for a passenger car equipped with a fastback has oppositely arranged lateral roof frames, rearward side parts and rearward spring strut receiving devices. The oppositely arranged lateral roof frames are each constructed as a hollow support and are being mutually locally connected by transversely extending members. In order to reduce the roof intrusion of the vehicle body structure in the event of a rollover and furthermore increase the torsional resistance, each lateral roof frame in the area of the rearward spring strut receiving devices is additionally connected by way of a hollow support structure which extends in the transverse direction of the vehicle to the adjacent spring strut receiving device situated underneath.
