Abstract:
1. A high-performance car comprising: a car body; at least one member for cooling; at least one cooling duct extending between an inlet opening and an outlet opening, both formed through the car body, to conduct outside cooling air through the member for cooling; and at least one blow duct which terminates at least one blow opening, formed through the car body, to direct an air jet which interacts with the airflow about the car body to alter the streamline configuration of the car; wherein the blow duct originates at an initial portion of the cooling duct, upstream from the member for cooling, and comprises a deflecting device which can be activated to divert at least part of the air in the cooling duct to the blow duct; wherein the deflecting device is movable between a rest position, in which the deflecting device does not interfere with the airflow along the cooling duct, and a work position, in which the deflecting device diverts at least part of the air in the cooling duct to the blow duct; wherein the deflecting device is moved only as a function of the speed of the car and is moved from the rest position to the work position only and always when the speed of the car exceeds a given threshold; and wherein the member for cooling is a brake of the car.
