Abstract
A motor vehicle includes a trunk lid having a rear transverse edge, an air guide extending across the width of the vehicle, and a lower rear end panel including a continuation that runs beneath the rear transverse edge of the trunk lid. The air guide adjoins the rear transverse edge of the trunk lid and includes a slotted wing system. The slotted wing system includes a rear wing displaceable between a retracted rest position and a deployed active position and a fixed rear-deck spoiler lying below the rear wing. The continuation has a shallow trough which runs across the vehicle width and which at least partially accommodates the rear wing when the rear wing is in the rest position. The rear-deck spoiler has a hump disposed across the vehicle width on the lower rear end panel
