What is the material used in the CL65 body?

I seem to remember that a magnesium alloy was used but I can't find mention of the body composition in a google search. Does anyone know what the CL65 is made of and is the rigidity significantly greater than sheet metal or aluminum? Can these vehicles survive a much greater force when struck than a normal car?
