Abstract: The invention relates to an ultrahigh strength multiphase steel with a dual-phase microstructure or a complex-phase microstructure and with a low content of residual austenite in particular for lightweight vehicle construction, to a method for producing cold-rolled steel strips from such a steel, and to steel strips produced using said method. The aim of the invention is a novel alloy concept with which the processing window for the continuous annealing of cold strips can be extended. According to the invention, this is achieved by a multiphase steel with a minimum tensile strength of 980 MPa containing (contents in wt. %): C?0.075 to ?0.115, Si?0.400 to ?0.500, Mn?1.900 to ?2.350, Cr?0.250 to ?0.400, Al?0.005 to ?0.060, N?0.0020 to ?0.0120, S?0.0020, Nb?0.005 to ?0.060, Ti?0.005 to ?0.060, B>0.0005 to ?0.0010, Mo>0.200 to ?0.300, Ca>0.0010 to ?0.0060, Cu?0.050, Ni?0.
