Thanks for the comments - There is an effective "triangulated in the corners" bulkhead structure behind the engine - between the strut towers-(these tie into the "C" pillar and roof structure). The front cross member is from the front of the 164 so strong for crash tests and will have more bracing into the Sprint floor cross member/ "B" pillars to make the centre of the Sprint resist torsion forces and distribute the engine/road reaction torque into the floor structure. The sills will have significant box section reinforcement inside - running the length of them. In the pictures that I have of the two Alfa 6C's that were built (?) there was no roll cage fitted, so presumeably Alfa/Autodelta thought the shells strong enough?
