An intake apparatus is provided for an engine of a vehicle. The intake apparatus can introduce fresh air under the vehicle's large running wind pressure. The intake apparatus also allows the opening area and profile of an air inlet to be selected freely. The intake apparatus includes a pair of intake ducts 13 for introducing the air into the engine and an air-introducing duct 15 connected to respective upstream ends of the intake ducts 13 to provide the air inlet 14. The air-introducing duct 15 is formed independently of a cowling 16 fitted to a front of the vehicle. The air-introducing duct 15 has its leading end 15a positioned ahead of a leading end 16a of the cowling 16.

1. An intake apparatus of an engine for a vehicle, the intake apparatus comprising:a cowling fitted to a front of a vehicle body; an intake duct connected with the engine for introducing air into the engine; and an air-introducing duct opening into an outside atmosphere and being connected to the upstream end of the intake duct to form an air inlet of the engine, wherein the air-introducing duct is constituted independently of the cowling and located below the bottom edge of the cowling at a central area between a left and a right side of the cowling, a leading end of the air-introducing duct being positioned ahead of a leading end of the cowling so that pressure at an inlet of the air-introducing duct is prevented from decreasing by an influence of an air flow along the cowling.
