This is what the sales brochure says for the 987 (page # 58):

"Beneath the Boxster's taut skin lie layers of race-inspired engineering, designed to absorb the energy of a collision and protect the occupants with computer-calculated precision.

The front of the car is bolstered by a labyrinth of transverse and longitudinal support beams. Three seperate load-bearing levels help channel impact forces around the passanger cell. For added safty, the fuel tank and fuel lines are also positioned outside of the deformation area."
