Spaceframe

The spaceframe was first developed around 1900 for use in aircraft construction, and was later carried over into racing vehicles. By spaceframe we mean a framework constructed either from steel tubing or profiles, and which forms the main load-bearing structure of the car. The skin used to envelop this framework can be extremely light, since it itself has no load-bearing requirements. Modern racing and super sportscars have a spaceframe made from aluminium or high-performance composite materials. From a structural standpoint, the spaceframe provides low body weight and an unsurpassed stiffness and reliability.

A so-called hybrid spaceframe forms the load-bearing elements in the mindset. The base framework consists of welded aluminium profiles in conjunction with a lightweight roof construction. Thanks to the visual lightness that this combination provides, the occupants of the mindset get to enjoy panoramic views. And of course, the entire structural framework of the car has been designed as a safety cage for the passengers.
