Internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle, in particular for a motor car

An internal combustion engine (10) for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a suction tract (16) which is flowable through by air;
• a compressor (20) disposed in the suction tract (16) for compressing air flowing through the suction tract (16);
• an exhaust tract (24) which is flowable through by exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine (10);
• a secondary air system (52) which is fluidically connected to the exhaust tract (24) at an introduction point (E) and to the suction tract (16) at a first branching point (A1) disposed downstream of the compressor (20), wherein at the first branching point (A1) at least a part of air compressed by the compressor (20) is branchable off from the suction tract (16) and is introducible into the exhaust tract (24) at the introduction point (E) as secondary air;
• wherein the secondary air system (52) is also fluidically connected to the suction tract (16) at a second branching point (A2) disposed upstream of the compressor (20), wherein at the second branching point at least a part of air flowing through the suction tract (16) upstream of the compressor (20) is branchable off from the suction tract (16) by the secondary air system (52) and is introducible into the exhaust tract (24) at the introduction point (E) as secondary air;
• and
• a secondary air pump (54), wherein air branched off at the second branching point (A2) is feedable through the secondary air system (52) and is feedable to the introduction point (E) by the secondary air pump (54);
• and
• wherein the introduction point (E) is disposed in an outlet conduit that is assigned to a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine (10) and the outlet conduit is formed in a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine (10).
