Abstract
A motor vehicle having a floor system which has an enlarged thickness in the area of the passenger compartment, the floor system being reinforced for improving the occupant protection. In order to reduce the danger of excessive deformations of the vehicle occupant compartment in the event of a side impact of a passenger car onto the motor vehicle, the floor system has a deflecting slope on its underside, which deflecting slope, starting from the side of the floor system, extends diagonally downward toward the longitudinal center plane of the vehicle.
