A body for a motor vehicle includes, but is not limited to a supporting structure, a hood, which is hinged to the supporting structure and includes, but is not limited to a framework and an outer skin, and at least one compressible support disposed between the framework of the hood and the supporting structure. A contact surface opposite the support on the hood side is connected to the outer skin by a stiffening element extending through a cavity of the framework.
