monocoque
A monocoque is a type of car body design that uses the outer shell of the car to provide strength. This means the body itself helps support the car, making it lighter and more efficient.
A monocoque is a structural design where the body of the vehicle is used as a stressed member, providing strength and rigidity without the need for a separate frame. This design is common in modern cars and racing vehicles for weight savings and improved performance.
