Abstract: An engine room heat exhausting structure configured to discharge heat from an engine room, is provided. The structure includes an engine room accommodating an engine with cylinders lined up in a front-and-rear direction of a vehicle, a wheelhouse provided outside the engine room in a vehicle width direction, an exhaust emission control device disposed between the engine and the wheelhouse, a splash shield configured to intercept water entering the engine room from the wheelhouse, and a discharging part provided to the splash shield at a location rearward of the exhaust emission control device and configured to discharge into the wheelhouse a portion of air that cooled the exhaust emission control device.

Abstract: A shield may be provided between a rear bumper and a silencer, the shield may be provided so as to extend in the vehicle width direction to overlap with at least a rear vertical wall of the silencer in the up-down direction in vehicle rear view, and the shield may be provided with a guider that guides underfloor traveling air downward, the underfloor traveling air flowing to the rear side through a lower portion of the silencer.

Abstract: A lower vehicle-body structure of a vehicle, in which plural sets of suspension links included in a rear suspension apparatus may be provided so as to extend to a vehicle-width-direction inner side from a lower position of respective wheel wells. A set of a pair of left and right first suspension links out of the suspension links may be respectively configured in a U-shape of which upper surface is opened in cross-section, and a first undercover structure that covers a vehicle-body lower surface so as to be flush with a lower surface of each of the first suspension links may be provided on a side portion of the first suspension link.

Abstract: A front vehicle-body structure flows air from the vehicle lower side to its upper side. After hitting a front bumper face, the air is separated and flows around and along a top face of an exterior member, ensuring aerodynamic performance. Embodiments include exterior members covering the upper side of an engine room, and a front grille disposed on a lower side relative to a front end portion of the exterior member. A rectification member extends the width of the exterior member in the vehicle width direction on the lower side of the exterior member front end portion. The rectification member includes a front piece portion extending toward the vehicle up-down-direction lower side from the exterior member to an upper end portion of the front grille, and a lower piece portion extending toward the vehicle rear side from an upper end of the front piece portion.

Abstract: An engine room heat exhausting structure configured to discharge heat from an engine room, is provided, which includes an engine room accommodating an engine with cylinders lined up in a front-and-rear direction of a vehicle, a wheelhouse provided outside the engine room in a vehicle width direction, an exhaust emission control device disposed between the engine and the wheelhouse, a wheelhouse liner configured to protect an inner wall of the wheelhouse, a discharging part provided rearward of the exhaust emission control device and configured to discharge into the wheelhouse a part of air cooled the exhaust emission control device, and a guiding part provided to the wheelhouse liner and configured to guide the air discharged into the wheel house to underneath the vehicle in a rear part of the wheelhouse.

Abstract: A disk rotor of a vehicle brake with improved efficiency in cooling the disk rotor by a synergy effect that comes from ensuring velocity of airflow flowing between cooling fins, ensuring surface areas of the cooling fins, and generating turbulent flow by second fins. A plurality of cooling fins each extending radially from an inner peripheral edge to an outer peripheral edge of a disk rotor are provided inside the disk rotor at intervals in the circumferential direction. Each of the plurality of the cooling fins includes a radial fin extending radially and a second fin spaced apart from the radial fin in the radial direction.

Abstract: A lower vehicle-body structure allows miniaturization of an undercover and prevents an increase in minimum ground clearance. In the lower vehicle-body structure, a vehicle body floor includes step-up portions connected to a floor tunnel on opposite sides of the floor tunnel in a vehicle width direction at least in regions where first and second cross members are disposed on the vehicle body floor. The lower vehicle-body structure includes a mount member that faces the floor tunnel and connects the step-up portions on the opposite sides of the floor tunnel, and includes first and second undercovers that cover a lower side of the mount member so as to be continuous with a bottom surface of the vehicle body floor on outer sides of the step-up portions in the vehicle width direction.

Abstract: A tire deflector device configured such that a deflector is disposed on a bottom portion of a vehicle in front of a front wheel is provided. The deflector includes a guide surface extending substantially horizontally in a vehicle longitudinal direction, and a vertical wall portion including a surface extending downwardly on a rear portion of the guide surface and extending in a vehicle width direction. An angle defined by a lower portion of a vertical wall portion including at least a lower end of the vertical wall portion and an imaginary orthogonal plane orthogonal to the guide surface lies within a range from 20 degrees to 45 degrees.
