High-strength steel

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Porsche Macan and 2015 Porsche Macan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Information 

Body parts of high-strength steel contribute to better protection of the passenger compartment and thus increase protection of the passengers. In addition to improved crash safety, these parts also have a positive influence on fatigue strength. In terms of crash behavior, body parts made from high-strength sheet steel are characterized by their higher energy absorption. But this also means that higher reshaping force must be applied during reshaping work.
