1.2 The bodywork concept of the Ferrari F458 Italia
In addition to extruded members, aluminium parts and sheet
metal elements, the Ferrari F458 Italia also features new joint
reinforcements for the space frame structure; together, they
form the bodywork structure.
These ultra-high strength steel reinforcements (A), installed
in the two A-pillars, offer occupants greater safety in critical
situations.
A
The ultra-strong extruded sections of the A-pillars are concealed
below the steel reinforcements. The sections are joined to the
extruded members of the sill (B) by die-cast node joints.
The sill (B) of the Ferrari F458 Italia is oversized, as on a
B
cabriolet type vehicle. This means that the Ferrari F458 Italia
makes no compromises where crash safety is concerned.
