Abstract

A rear region of a motor vehicle has an underbody with at least one air-guiding element that is adjustable from a rest position into various operative positions. One operative position increases negative lift and another operative position reduces aerodynamic drag. The air-guiding element is adjustable into the individual operative positions via a central, transversely arranged pivot axis.
