<p>A vehicle body structure for an automobile, wherein left and right forward-bulging parts (24) for supporting the rear ends of left and right front side frames (26) are caused to bulge forward from a front wall part (14), and a wheelhouse part (21) continuing from the rear ends of the forward-bulging parts (24) to the front ends of the front side frames (26) is configured from a highly rigid honeycomb panel, a frontal collision load inputted to the wheelhouse part (21) from a front wheel during a frontal collision of the vehicle therefore being transmitted from the wheelhouse part (21) to side sill parts (13), and a frontal collision load inputted to the wheelhouse part (21) from the front side frames (26) being transmitted from the wheelhouse part (21) to the side sill parts (13), whereby the frontal collision load can be transmitted to the high-strength side sill parts (13) and efficiently absorbed. Since there is also no need to increase the shock absorption stroke of the front wheel to absorb a frontal collision load, the front wheel can be brought closer to the wheelhouse part (21), and the overall length of the vehicle body can be reduced.</p> |
