  • Patent number: 10173736
    Abstract: Aerodynamic device for a motor-vehicle including a panel structure located under the front part of the motor-vehicle and elastically biased towards a raised position and configured to be moved towards a lowered position due to an airflow which invests the motor-vehicle during travel. The aerodynamic device includes a bag structure provided inside of a cavity for receiving in its interior the airflow which invests the motor-vehicle during travel, in such a way that above a predetermined threshold value of the motor-vehicle speed, the bag structure is inflated and pushes the panel structure towards its lowered position.

  • Patent number: 9809108
    Abstract: An air guiding device for a motor-vehicle includes a main chamber located at the rear of a front wall of the motor vehicle, and defined between the front wall, a rear wall which is spaced apart from the front wall and two side walls. A first opening is provided on the front wall, for the inlet of air into the main chamber, while at least one second opening on said rear wall guides the air into an engine compartment. Two side ducts extend from an inlet to an outlet giving out on a respective outer side wall of the motor-vehicle. To the second opening there is associated a device for controlling the air flow therethrough. The outlets of the two side ducts are arranged and oriented so as to generate a substantially flattened and vertical air curtain adjacent to each front wheel of the motor-vehicle.
