Abstract

Disclosed is a vehicle comprising: a front end and a rear end, said front end and said rear end being located at a front height and at a rear height; a front aero assembly associated to and active in proximity and/or in correspondence of the front end and adapted to generate a front aerodynamic force; and a rear aero assembly associated to and active in proximity and/or in correspondence of the rear end and adapted to generate a rear aerodynamic force. The vehicle further comprises management and control system so as to contain and/or limit, under transient conditions comprising at least a longitudinal and/or lateral acceleration or deceleration of said vehicle occurring from said condition of travel at a given constant speed, variations of said front height and/or said rear height to be respectively greater or equal to a front end threshold height and a rear end threshold height.

Dependent claims

A vehicle, comprising:

a front end and a rear end opposite to the front end along a longitudinal axis, the front end and the rear end being located at a front height and at a rear height with respect to a travelling ground in a condition of travel at a given constant speed of a chassis of the vehicle;
a front aero assembly associated to and active in proximity and/or in correspondence of the front end and adapted to generate a front aerodynamic force;
a rear aero assembly associated to and active in proximity and/or in correspondence of the rear end and adapted to generate a rear aerodynamic force;
a management and control system active on the front aero assembly and/or on the rear aero assembly so as to contain and/or limit, under transient conditions comprising at least a longitudinal and/or lateral acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle occurring from the condition of travel at a given constant speed, variations of the front height and/or the rear height to be respectively greater or equal to a front end threshold height and a rear end threshold height.
