Abstract
A motor vehicle, especially a passenger motor vehicle includes a rear engine and an air guide arrangement arranged in the rear area which is displaceable from a rest position extending flush with the adjoining body into an extended operating position, whereby the air guide arrangement extends in the operating position at a distance to the body and a transversely extending gap region disposed to the rear as viewed in the driving direction and lateral outwardly disposed longitudinally extending gap regions are closed off by cover elements. In order that the air guide arrangement can be extended relatively far, on the one hand, and the rear cover element requires as little structural space as possible in the retracted rest position of the air guide arrangement, as viewed in the longitudinal direction, on the other, the cover element for the rear gap region includes at least locally fold or pleat-like sections which in the rest position of the air guide arrangement are disposed folded-together one above the other whereas in the operating position the fold or pleat-like sections assume a nearly extended straight position to one another.
