Abstract

A body of a motor vehicle, particularly a passenger car of the sports car type, equipped with a windshield frame, a rollover bar system and a removable roof covering an area between the windshield frame and the rollover bar system. The roof on one side follows a convex shaping course of the windshield frame and, on the other side, follows a shaping course of the rollover bar system such that, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the passenger car, the roof has two lateral roof sections and a center roof section which extends between the lateral roof sections in the manner of a crease-type indentation shaped in the direction of the vehicle occupant compartment.
