Abstract
The present disclosure provides a rear air guide device for a vehicle. The rear air guide includes a first air guide element and a control device that moves the first air guide element between a first terminal position and a second terminal position such that the first air guide element prolongs a car body element of the vehicle. The first air guide element is pivotably mounted to the car body element such that first air guide element pivots between the first terminal position and the second terminal position. The rear air guide further includes a second air guide element coupled to the first air guide element. When the first air guide element is set at the second terminal position, the second air guide element spans a gap between the first air guide element and the car body element.
