Title:
STRUCTURE OF FRONT PART OF CAR BODY
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003276650
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a structure of a front part of a car body improved so as to realize inhibition of lift at the time of high speed traveling and reduction of air resistance without installing an excessive part.

The structure of the front part of the car body is provided, which is characterized in that in an outline viewing from a side, a front end part of the car body is formed such that a ridgeline (3) forms a doglegged shape at a leading end and a projection (6) of crest shape of which the ridgeline continues from a base part of a front pillar (5) toward a front end is extended to an upper surface of a front fender (4). Thereby, down force can be enhanced by aggressively forming an air stream of high flow speed at a lower surface of the car body without attaching a separate member. Cd value (air resistance force coefficient) can be reduced by a flow straightening action of the projection on the front fender.
