Because of the downvotes I will explain my statement.

The car has "a safety cell 7 times stronger than steel". That makes no sense. The strength of a physical object is a combination of the strength of its material(s), the geometry it's made into, and the joining method used to connect the parts.

An object is not stronger than steel, a material is. Saying an object is stronger than steel means nothing.
