1. A car comprising:

  • at least one radiator;

    a ventilation channel, which houses on an inside the radiator and extends between an inlet opening, thorough which fresh air flows in, and an outlet opening, through which hot air flows out;

    a first aerodynamic duct, which extends between an inlet opening, which is arranged next to the inlet opening of the ventilation channel, and an outlet opening, which is obtained inside the ventilation channel between the inlet opening of the ventilation channel and the radiator; and

    a first shutter, which is arranged in correspondence to the inlet opening of the first aerodynamic duct and is mobile between an engagement position, in which the first shutter completely closes the inlet opening of the first aerodynamic duct, and a disengagement position, in which the first shutter leaves the inlet opening of the first aerodynamic duct free;

    wherein an end part of the first aerodynamic duct in correspondence to the outlet opening of the first aerodynamic duct itself is oriented transversely to the ventilation channel so that the flow of air that flows out of the outlet opening of the first aerodynamic duct is directed transversally to the ventilation channel and is therefore directed transversally to the flow of air that normally flows through the ventilation channel to create an aerodynamic plug inside the ventilation channel for reducing the flow rate of the air flowing through the ventilation channel.
