Abstract:
1. Motor vehicle front transverse beam ( 4 ) intended to be located between a shield skin ( 2 ) and a front end ( 6 ) of a motor vehicle front assembly ( 1 ), said beam ( 4 ) being designed to deform by absorbing energy in the event of an impact with the shield skin ( 2 ), said beam ( 4 ) having a substantially planar front face ( 8 ), characterized in that the beam ( 4 ) comprises a rear fairing element ( 10 ) having a concavity ( 16 ) turned toward the front of the vehicle so as to promote a laminar flow of air from the front face ( 8 ) of the beam ( 4 ) toward the front end ( 6 ) of the front assembly ( 1 ) of the motor vehicle, and characterized in that the fairing element ( 10 ) is formed by a plastic profiled element ( 22 ), said profiled element ( 22 ) being designed to bend in on itself in order to form the fairing element ( 10 ) of closed section.
