Body and Frame: Description and Operation

Body - general

Body of high-strength steel





The indicated body parts are made by welding together plates of differing thicknesses and characteristics and then deep-drawing these parts. In their crash behavior, these body parts are distinguished by their high energy absorption.





The indicated body parts attain their final strength only under the temperature effects of the production stage of cathodic immersion painting and drying.

Body repairs by means of reshaping are not possible if these body parts are correspondingly deformed. Here, the repair must be carried out using new parts or by means of sectional repairs.

The use of high-strength steels for the body has an effect on body repairs. For this reason, only "Original Porsche parts" must be used for repair work.
