The lid assembly according to claim 1, wherein: said at least one articulated arm comprises: a top rod connected, in the vicinity of a top end, to the lid, in a manner such as to pivot about a top axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and a bottom rod connected, in the vicinity of a bottom end, to the bodywork, in a manner such as to pivot about a bottom axis transverse to said longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and, in the vicinity of a top end, to said bottom end of the top rod in a manner such as to pivot about an intermediate hinge axis transverse to said longitudinal axis, and, said at least one articulated arm defines, at said intermediate hinge axis, an angle pointing forwards when the lid is in its closed position and when said lid is in either of its open backwards and forwards positions. 7. The lid assembly according to claim 1, wherein: said at least one articulated arm comprises: a top rod connected, in the vicinity of a top end, to the lid, in a manner such as to pivot about a top axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and a bottom rod connected, in the vicinity of a bottom end, to the bodywork, in a manner such as to pivot about a bottom axis transverse to said longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and, in the vicinity of its top end, to said bottom end of the top rod in a manner such as to pivot about an intermediate hinge axis transverse to said longitudinal axis, and, said intermediate axis is situated further backwards than a straight line that interconnects the bottom and the top axes, when the lid is open forwards, and the top axis is situated between the front edge and the rear edge of the lid. 8. The lid assembly according to claim 1, wherein: said at least one articulated arm comprises: a top rod connected, in the vicinity of a top end, to the lid, in a manner such as to pivot about a top axis transverse to the longitudinal axis the vehicle, and a bottom rod connected, in the vicinity of a bottom end, to the bodywork, in a manner such as to pivot about a bottom axis transverse to said longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and, in the vicinity of a top end, to said bottom end of the top rod in a manner such as to pivot about an intermediate hinge axis transverse to said longitudinal axis, the rear trunk is laterally delimited by side walls of the bodywork, each having upwardly a top edge, when the lid is open as backwards as forwards, an opening plane of the rear trunk is defined by said top edges of the side walls, said at least one articulated arm is arranged so that, when the lid is open as backwards as forwards, the top end of the bottom rod is situated above said opening plane of the rear trunk, and wherein said at least one articulated arm is arranged such that, when the lid is open as backwards as forwards, a projection of the top rod in the opening plane extends beyond a perimeter defined by said top edges of the side walls. 9. The lid assembly according to claim 1, wherein: said at least one articulated arm comprises: a top rod connected, in the vicinity of a top end, to the lid, in a manner such as to pivot about a top axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and a bottom rod connected, in the vicinity of a bottom end, to the bodywork, in a manner such as to pivot about a bottom axis transverse to said longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and, in the vicinity of a top end, to said bottom end of the top rod in a manner such as to pivot about an intermediate hinge axis transverse to said longitudinal axis, and, a bottom end of the bottom rod is hinged to a portion of the bodywork that defines a floor for the rear trunk. 10.
