Body
The new Audi A4 is designed for optimal con- – the straightened longitudinal member with
formance with current crash requirements crash-optimised octagonal cross-piece
and safety standards. – the rigid and significantly wider bumper
This could only be achieved by increasing the cross-piece
body weight. – the integration of the member structures
into the passenger cell
In order to reduce this additional weight to a – strength, rigidity and weight-optimised
minimum, the proportion of light-weight suspension strut cross-piece
materials has been increased in comparison
to its predecessor.
The proportion of high-strength sheet metal
parts as well as the use of a total of 10 large
component "tailored blanks", contribute sig-
nificantly to weight reduction.
Body rigidity has been increased by 45 % by
increasing the number of connection points
by 25 %.
