[0003] The invention relates to a high-performance sports car provided with a centrally arranged internal combustion engine and a rear luggage compartment. Background Art

[0004] Typically, in high-performance sports cars with a centrally arranged internal combustion engine (i.e. mounted within the wheelbase of the car), only two seats are provided in the passenger compartment, behind which there is luggage space (a so-called "bench") (typically sized to allow accommodation of a golf bag).

[0005] However, this luggage space is difficult to use (particularly for placing or retrieving large luggage, such as golf bags) because in order to access the luggage space, one must climb over the seat, which must therefore have a reclining backrest (increasing the cost, complexity and weight of the seat).

[0073] exist Figure 1 1 , reference numeral 1 generally designates a motor vehicle comprising two front (preferably driven) wheels 2 and two rear (drive) wheels 3 .

[0074] The car 1 comprises a frame covered by a body 4 (i.e., by an external body) which defines in the center (i.e., between the front wheels 2 and the rear wheels 3) a passenger compartment 5 housing a pair of seats (one for the driver and one for the passenger). Furthermore, the body 4 defines at the rear (i.e., behind the passenger compartment 5) an engine compartment 6 in which an internal combustion engine 7 is arranged and connected to a gearbox 8 which transmits movement to the rear drive wheels 3 via two axles starting from opposite sides of the rear differential. The internal combustion engine 7 is arranged in a central position (i.e., mounted within the wheelbase of the car 1, i.e., included in the space between the axis of the front wheels 2 and the axis of the rear wheels 3), and the passenger compartment 5 is arranged in front of (and close to) the internal combustion engine 7.

[0075] The passenger compartment 5 is separated from the engine compartment 6 by a partition 9 (the so-called "firewall") arranged behind the seats, i.e., the rear wall of the seats is substantially in contact with the partition 9, so that there is no space behind the seats (i.e., between the seats and the partition 9) for accommodating luggage.

[0076] According to a possible embodiment, the internal combustion engine 7 is powered by hydrogen (or another gaseous fuel). According to a different embodiment, the internal combustion engine 7 is powered by gasoline (or another liquid fuel).

[0077] according to Figure 1 As shown, the internal combustion engine 7 is powered by hydrogen which is stored at high pressure (eg, a maximum pressure of about 700 bar) in three different tanks 10, 11 and 12 having a cylindrical shape.

[0078] The two tanks 10 and 11 are arranged in front of each other above the internal combustion engine 7. In other words, the two tanks 10 and 11 (having a cylindrical shape) are arranged (approximately) at the same vertical height and are longitudinally separated from each other, i.e., are only longitudinally spaced apart from each other (i.e., one is arranged in front of the other). In particular, the tanks 10 and 11 (having a cylindrical shape) are both placed in a transverse orientation, i.e., their central axes of symmetry are oriented transversely. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the tank 10 arranged at the front (ie closer to the front) is larger than the tank 11 arranged at the rear (ie closer to the rear).

[0079] The tank 12 is arranged in front of the internal combustion engine 7 (ie, closer to the front), and is thus located between the internal combustion engine 7 and the passenger compartment 5 and behind the partition plate 9 (in contact therewith).

[0080] The automobile 1 includes a luggage compartment 13 arranged in a rear position above a power system consisting of an internal combustion engine 7 and a transmission 8. The luggage compartment 13 includes a cup-shaped (i.e., open at the top) container 14 having an approximately parallelepiped shape, which is closed at the top by a hood 15 (i.e., an openable door of the vehicle body 4 provided to protect the luggage compartment 13).

[0081] according to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the container 14 includes a substantially horizontal bottom wall 16, a transversely oriented substantially vertical front wall 17, a transversely oriented substantially vertical rear wall 18, and two longitudinally oriented substantially vertical side walls 19.

[0082] according to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the motor vehicle 1 comprises an aerodynamic duct 20 originating from an air inlet 21 obtained through the body 4 and through which an air flow can flow in use. According to a preferred embodiment, the air inlet 21 is obtained through a portion of the body 4 located behind the roof of the passenger compartment 5 and immediately downstream of the transparent rear window (i.e. the rear windowed portion).

[0083] According to a preferred embodiment, the air inlet 21 is coupled to a cover 22 which is in an aerodynamic position ( Figure 3 ) and the accommodation position ( Figure 2 In the aerodynamic position, the cover 22 opens the air inlet 21 to allow air to flow into the aerodynamic duct 20, and in the accommodating position, the cover 22 closes the air inlet 21 to prevent air from flowing into the aerodynamic duct 20.

[0084] The aerodynamic duct 20 extends from the air inlet 21 to an outlet opening 23, i.e. the aerodynamic duct 20 ends at the outlet opening 23. According to a preferred embodiment, the outlet opening 23 of the aerodynamic duct 20 is obtained through the vertical rear part of the vehicle body 4, which is arranged near or at the rear bumper.

[0085] according to Figure 1 As schematically shown in FIG. 1 , the car 1 comprises a rear wing 24, which is arranged above the outlet opening 23 of the aerodynamic duct 20 and is configured to increase downforce, i.e., increase the aerodynamic force that pushes the car 1 toward the ground, thereby increasing grip. Preferably, the rear wing 24 is in a stationary position (by Figure 1 The solid line in the figure shows the working position (shown by Figure 1 In the static position, the rear wing 24 is at least partially located inside the body 4 and allows less downforce to be generated, and in the working position, the rear wing 24 is positioned to mostly extend from the body 4 (i.e., extends more from the body 4 and is therefore surrounded by a larger amount of air), and allows greater downforce to be generated.

[0086] During the movement of the vehicle 1, the aerodynamic duct 20 can be used (especially when the rear wing 24 is in a stationary position) to reduce the aerodynamic drag when moving forward: by blowing air through the outlet opening 23, the extension of the low-pressure area behind the vehicle 1 can be reduced, thereby reducing the aerodynamic drag when moving forward.

[0087] During driving of the motor vehicle 1, the aerodynamic duct 20 can be used to increase the downforce generated by the rear wing 24 (when the rear wing 24 is in the operating position): by increasing the air flow flowing under the rear wing 24 and by reducing the air flow flowing over the rear wing 24, in fact, the downforce generated by the rear wing 24 can be increased (in other words, the aerodynamic duct 20 "collects" air upstream of the rear wing 24 that is essentially used to flow over the rear wing 24, and releases the air under the rear wing 24).

[0088] according to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the aerodynamic duct 20 passes through the container 14 of the luggage compartment 13 and is partially composed of the internal volume of the container 14. In other words, the initial part of the aerodynamic duct 20 is fixed and located upstream of the container 14 (in front of the container 14), and the final part of the aerodynamic duct 20 is created (utilized) when necessary and is located inside the container 14. Therefore, the container 14 of the luggage compartment 13 has two alternative uses: as a luggage container (when the car 1 is used as a means of transportation) and as the final part of the aerodynamic duct 20 (when the car 1 is used in a performance driving mode, for example on a track).

[0089] The container 14 of the luggage compartment 13 comprises an inlet opening 25 connected to the initial part of the aerodynamic duct 20 and obtained through the front wall 17 of the container 14. Furthermore, the container 14 of the luggage compartment 13 comprises an outlet opening 23 obtained through the rear wall 18 of the container 14 and through which the air flow from the initial part of the aerodynamic duct 20 flows out of the container 14. In other words, the container 14 of the luggage compartment 13 constitutes the final part of the aerodynamic duct 20, and therefore the outlet opening 23 obtained through the rear wall 18 of the container 14 also constitutes the end of the aerodynamic duct 20.

[0090] A plate 26 is provided, which is in the accommodation position (in Figure 2 ) and the aerodynamic position (in Figure 3 25 ) is movable between a receiving position in which the plate 26 closes the inlet opening 25 and an aerodynamic position in which the plate 26 does not close the inlet opening 25 and laterally delimits the portion of the aerodynamic duct 20 formed inside the container 14. That is, in the aerodynamic position (in Figure 3 2), the plate 26 defines, inside the container 14 of the luggage compartment 13, a path along which the air flow from the initial part of the aerodynamic duct 20 can flow. According to a preferred embodiment, the plate 26 is hinged to the front wall 17 of the container 14 so as to rotate about a vertical rotation axis 27 and in the aerodynamic position (in Figure 3 ), the plate 26 is arranged perpendicular to the front wall 17 (and the rear wall 18 ) of the container 14 , and extends to the rear wall 18 of the container 14 .

[0091] Similarly, a plate 28 is provided, which is in the accommodation position (in Figure 2 ) and the aerodynamic position (in Figure 3 23 ) is movable between a receiving position in which the plate 28 closes the outlet opening 23 and an aerodynamic position in which the plate 28 does not close the outlet opening 23 and laterally delimits the portion of the aerodynamic duct 20 formed inside the container 14. That is, in the aerodynamic position (in Figure 3 2 ), the plate 28 defines, inside the container 14 of the luggage compartment 13, a path along which the air flow from the initial part of the aerodynamic duct 20 can flow. According to a preferred embodiment, the plate 28 is hinged to the rear wall 18 of the container 14 so as to rotate about a vertical rotation axis 29 and in the aerodynamic position (in Figure 3 ), the plate 28 is arranged perpendicular to the rear wall 18 (and the front wall 17 ) of the container 14 , and extends up to the front wall 17 of the container 14 .

[0092] In other words, in the accommodation position (in Figure 2), the plates 26 and 28 each close the respective openings 25 and 23, are parallel to and rest on the respective walls 17 and 18. However, in the aerodynamic position (in Figure 3 ), the plates 26 and 28 are both perpendicular to the respective walls 17 and 18 and transversely delimit the portion of the aerodynamic duct 20 formed inside the container 14.

[0093] According to a possible embodiment shown in the figures, a plate 30 is provided which is arranged outside the container 14 of the luggage compartment 13 and which in the accommodation position (in Figure 2 ) and the aerodynamic position (in Figure 3 28) is movable between a housing position in which the plate 30 closes the outlet opening 23 (on the opposite side of the plate 28) and an aerodynamic position in which the plate 30 does not close the outlet opening 23. In particular, the plate 30 is hinged so as to be movable between the housing position (in the housing position) and the aerodynamic position in which the plate 30 does not close the outlet opening 23. Figure 2 ) and the aerodynamic position (in Figure 3 ) is rotated between.

[0094] According to the preferred embodiment shown in the drawings, the outlet opening 23 is obtained through the rear wall 18 of the container 14 and comprises a plurality of through holes passing through the rear wall 18 .

[0095] The embodiments described herein may be combined with each other without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0096] The above-described vehicle 1 has many advantages.

[0097] In particular, the above-described automobile 1 has a space for accommodating luggage (ie, the luggage compartment 13 ) which is relatively wide (ie, at least large enough to accommodate a golf bag) and which is particularly convenient and easy to access.

[0098] In addition, depending on the purpose of the automobile 1, the luggage compartment 13 can have two different functions: when the automobile 1 is used as a means of transportation on the road, the luggage compartment 13 is used as a space for accommodating luggage (such as Figure 2 ), and when the car 1 is used in a performance driving mode on a track, the luggage compartment 13 (or more preferably, the central portion of the luggage compartment 13) is used to improve the aerodynamic efficiency and power of the car 1 (as shown Figure 3 shown).

[0099] It is important to emphasize that the arrangement of tank 12 is optimal since it is close to internal combustion engine 7 (i.e. close to users of fuel) and, above all, it is extremely protected from all possible impacts (unlike luggage compartment 13 which does not contain anything that requires priority protection in the event of an impact).
