Structure of mechanism |
| Function |
The invention provides a motor vehicle, the type that has a spoiler (12) behind which is movable between a position retracted into a housing (14), whereby an upper surface (16) of the fin (12) is substantially flush at a panel (18) body exterior rear of the vehicle and a deployed position in which the fin (12) protrudes at least partially out of the housing (14) above said panel (18) outside body to provide a downforce of the vehicle, wherein the fin (12) is increased by at least two arms (20) of substantially transverse orientation, symmetric about a plane (P) of the median longitudinal fin, which are movable between a first position in which they are tucked under the flap (12) so that it occupies its retracted position and a second position in which they are unfolded substantially vertically to bring the wing (12) in its extended position out of the housing (14). |
