BODY ARRANGEMENT FOR A FRONT-END STRUCTURE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE, SAID BODY ARRANGEMENT BEING DESIGNED FOR A FRONTAL COLLISION WITH A SMALL OVERLAP

A body arrangement for a front-end structure of a motor vehicle has a lower main longitudinal member arrangement, on the front end of which there is arranged a shock-absorbing transverse member, an upper member arrangement, which runs above a wheel suspension, and a tension strap which is fastened at a first fastening point to a front region of the main longitudinal member arrangement and at a second fastening point to the upper member arrangement. The first fastening point and the second fastening point are spaced apart in a vehicle transverse direction. The tension strap is arranged such that, in the event of a frontal collision of the motor vehicle with a small overlap, in the case of which a collision partner strikes the upper member arrangement of the motor vehicle laterally with respect to the longitudinal member arrangement, the tension strap, under tension, supports the upper member arrangement on the main longitudinal member arrangement.
