A front pillar structure for a motor vehicle is manufactured in a shell type of construction, with a supporting carrier which reaches from a wheelhouse of the motor vehicle as far as a side sill of the front pillar structure, and with an outer shell which is connected to an outer side of the supporting carrier. The side sill includes a profile part which has a load-absorbing region formed in the transverse direction of the front pillar structure. The outer shell overlaps the load-absorbing region in the vertical direction of the front pillar structure and is connected to the profile part below an apex of the load-absorbing region.

Front pillar structure for a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle

A vehicle body, preferably for a motor vehicle with four wheels, includes two side members extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, at least one support, which extends in the vehicle transverse direction between the two side members, and at least one molded foam part that reinforces the vehicle body. The foam part is arranged in a lateral structure of the vehicle body at the height level of the support.
