Actually, according to Subaru...



Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frames

The SUBARU BRZ offers intense control and just as intense protection. Its frame design strengthens the passenger cabin from the roof to the doors, pillars and floor. This design, bolstered by generous use of high-tensile steel, helps to dissipate impact energy away from the occupants in a collision.
