Longitudinal Support Device for Supporting a Front Engine in a Motor Vehicle

An engine support device, which is provided for supporting an engine arranged in a front-end vehicle structure of a motor vehicle, includes a first half-shell with a first end section, a second end section opposite same and a first lateral cheek section, and a second half-shell with a third end section, a fourth end section opposite same, a middle section arranged between the third and the fourth end section and a second lateral cheek section. The first half-shell as an outer shell and the second half-shell as an inner shell can be provided in a state of the engine support device installed into a motor vehicle. The first lateral cheek section has substantially straight edges in a continuous manner from the first end section thereof to the second end section thereof. The second lateral cheek section has substantially straight edges in a continuous manner from the third end section thereof to the middle section thereof and has a first offset in the direction of the first lateral cheek section between the middle section and the fourth end section and converges on the first lateral cheek section in a first longitudinal section containing the offset by a difference in distance which corresponds to the first offset. The second lateral cheek section is arranged on the first lateral cheek section at least in the fourth and the second end sections, respectively.
