Abstract

An air guide device on the rear of a motor vehicle has an airfoil located between side elements. The device includes a spoiler unit located at a distance from the airfoil with an integrated air intake grille in a trunk lid. The spoiler unit is made in one piece with the side elements to hold the airfoil which runs crosswise. Intake openings for supplying engine air are located in each of the side elements.
