Summary:An axle support of a passenger car which is arranged slightly behind a drive unit in the direction of travel is known. The connections of the axle support to the rest of the body can each be abruptly released by a respective explosive charge when a front impact of the motor vehicle is detected. The aim of the invention is to further develop the known motor vehicle having an axle support. According to the invention, the rear region of the axle support (5) is connected to at least one supporting body component (10) in the front, lower region of the passenger compartment (1) of the body by means of at least one support (6) extending rearward. For this purpose, the support (6) is connected to the supporting body component (10) by means of a pyrotechnicically releasable connecting element. In addition, a guide is arranged between the rear end region of the support (6) and the body element (10), which guide permits only an displacement of the guided end region of the support (6) rearward as viewed in the direction of travel (F) if the connection is released by the pyrotechnic connecting element between the support (6) and the body element (10).
