A cardan shaft ( 1 ) having a first shaft ( 2 ) and a second shaft ( 3 ) is connected in a torque-proof manner via a constant velocity joint ( 9 ). The second shaft ( 3 ) having two separate shaft sections ( 4, 5 ) connected to one another by a connector, which mechanically fails at the impact of a predetermined axial force such that the two shaft sections ( 4, 5 ) can be coaxially shifted into one another in a displacement section ( 6 ). In order to optimize the cardan shaft for the use in a vehicle with a front traverse installation driving motor and transmission, the constant velocity joint ( 9 ) and the connector at the two shaft sections ( 4, 5 ) may be configured and adjusted to one another such that at the outset of an initial impact of a predetermined first axial force (F 1 ), weaker than a second subsequent axial force (F 2 ), the constant velocity joint ( 9 ) is initially telescoped along a first shift path (S 1 ) up to a block and upon a subsequent impact of a predetermined second axial force (F 2 ) the two shaft sections ( 4, 5 ) telescope over a second shift path (S 2 ).
