A motor vehicle having a vehicle body, an engine compartment (10) housing an engine (12) and a bonnet seal arrangement (30, 34). The bonnet seal arrangement defines an opening (35) and is configured to deflect ram air received at the front of the motor vehicle (2) in use past the opening (35) to define a first air flow path, and draw air from the first air flow path through the opening (35) to define a second air flow path for supplying air to the intake duct orifice (42), the second air flow path being angled in a horizontal plane to the first air flow path.
