Abstract
The speed of a motor vehicle causes the production of an air flow which can produce disturbing noises at edges of motor vehicle components. To provide a motor vehicle in which disturbing noises due to the air flow when travelling are avoided, at least one spoiler element is provided, or in that a plurality of spoiler elements are provided. The respectively present number of spoiler elements is formed upstream and/or downstream of at least one existing edge of the particular component acted upon by the air flow. The number of spoiler elements is arranged and/or shaped in such a manner that the air flow striking against the respective spoiler elements is dispersed non-uniformly.
Claims15
A motor vehicle, comprising:
- a component impinged upon by an air flow created while driving the motor vehicle, the component having at least one non-rounded sharp edge;
- one or more spoiler elements that are formed on each opposing inner sides of the component, wherein the one or more spoiler elements present are formed upstream and/or downstream of at least one edge of the component impinged upon by the air flow, and
- wherein the one or more spoiler elements are arranged and/or shaped such that air flow impacting a respective spoiler element is dispersed in a non-uniform manner.
