The wing body is fastened to each side part by a retaining device, wherein the retaining devices permit adjustment of an angle of attack of a profile of the wing body in relation to a horizontal orientation. The adjustability of the wing body can be improved in that each retaining device has a guide body which can be adjusted by an adjusting screw along the adjusting screw and is coupled via a first guide pin to a wing support to which the wing body is attached. The wing support can be adjusted in a manner guided by a second guide pin and a third guide pin in slideways. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A rear wing device for a motor vehicle having a longitudinal direction, the rear wing device comprising: two side parts extending parallel to the longitudinal direction and vertically; retaining devices; a wing body extending transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle and horizontally and disposed laterally between said two side parts, said wing body fastened to each of said side parts by one of said retaining devices, said retaining devices permitting adjustment of an angle of attack of a profile of said wing body in relation to a horizontal orientation; first guide pins; second guide pins; third guide pins; wing supports attaching to said wing body; each of said retaining devices having an adjusting screw and a guide body being adjusted by said adjusting screw along said adjusting screw and is coupled via one of said first guide pins to one of said wing supports, each of said retaining devices having slideways formed therein and configured in a fixed position relative to a respective one of said side parts; and said wing supports being adjusted in a manner guided by one of said second guide pins and one of said third guide pins in said slideways. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The rear wing device according to claim 1, wherein each of said retaining devices has a guide slot formed therein and said guide body is disposed in said guide slot and can be adjusted therein in a manner guided by means of said adjusting screw. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The rear wing device according to claim 1, wherein each of said retaining devices has a removable covering for at least one of covering and securing said adjusting screw. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The rear wing device according to claim 1, wherein said guide body has a pin receptacle formed therein and configured as an elongated hole for receiving one of said first guide pins. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The rear wing device according to claim 1, wherein said guide body has two separate pin receptacles formed therein in either of which one of said first guide pins can be received. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The rear wing device according to claim 1, wherein for each of said second guide pins and said third guide pins, two separate ones of said slideways are provided in each case, and said second guide pin and said third guide pin can be adjusted in either of said slideways in a guided manner. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The rear wing device according to claim 1, wherein: each of said side parts has a cutout formed therein; and each of said side parts has an insert containing a respective one of said retaining devices and are inserted into respective said cutout formed on the other one of said side parts. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The rear wing device according to claim 1, further comprising a main wing and a secondary wing formed by said wing body. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The rear wing device according to claim 8, further comprising at least one support, said main wing being fastened to a body of the motor vehicle via said at least one support, and said side parts are fastened to said main wing. ### Claim 10 A vehicle, comprising: a longitudinal direction; and a rear wing device containing: two side parts extending parallel to said longitudinal direction and vertically; retaining devices; a wing body extending transversely with respect to said longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle and horizontally and disposed laterally between said two side parts, said wing body fastened to each of said side parts by one of said retaining devices, said retaining devices permitting adjustment of an angle of attack of a profile of said wing body in relation to a horizontal orientation; first guide pins; second guide pins; third guide pins; wing supports attaching to said wing body; each of said retaining devices having an adjusting screw and a guide body being adjusted by said adjusting screw along said adjusting screw and is coupled via one of said first guide pins to one of said wing supports, each of said retaining devices having slideways formed therein and configured in a fixed position relative to a respective one of said side parts; and said wing supports being adjusted in a manner guided by one of said second guide pins and one of said third guide pins in said sideways.
