Shutter with track-guided louvers

A vehicle comprising:

• an internal combustion engine cooled by a circulating fluid;
• a heat exchanger configured to cool the fluid via an incident airstream after the fluid cools the engine;
• a vehicle body defining a grille opening positioned to permit the incident airstream to pass through on the way to the heat exchanger;
• and
• a shutter system arranged to control a flow of the incident airstream through the grille opening, the shutter system including:
• a track arranged transverse to the incident airstream;
• a plurality of louvers configured to shift along the track and be guided thereby;
• and
• a mechanism configured to select a position for the shutter system between and inclusive of fully-opened and fully-closed to regulate the flow of the incident airstream through the grille opening by shifting the plurality of louvers along the track;
• wherein each of the plurality of louvers is arranged along a plane transverse to the incident airstream and remains therein as the position of the shutter system is selected between and inclusive of fully-opened and fully-closed.
