Abstract
An exhaust system has at least one exhaust tailpipe which is led through a rear apron of the motor vehicle. The drive train of the vehicle has a rear axle. An air duct is provided in a rear region, which air duct supplies exterior air to the at least one exhaust tailpipe at least in sections. The rear axle has at least one rear axle cover at least in sections. An air inlet opening of the air duct is arranged behind the rear axle cover in a travel direction of the motor vehicle. As a result of the design of the motor vehicle, the rear apron is protected from impingement by hot exhaust gases.
