A motor vehicle undertray trim panel having an air inlet which is delimited toward the vehicle and the roadway by upper and lower flat elements, respectively, which extend arcuately rearward and upward in the direction of a vehicle components. The upper flat element runs, starting from a front end which lies in the vehicle longitudinal direction, in front of, adjacent to or behind an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle and below a front radiator, first of all approximately horizontally and at a spacing below an oil sump of the internal combustion engine and then in a continuously steeper curve to its rear end which lies behind the oil sump and which is adjoined by a planar air ram plate which runs such that it is directed by a small amount substantially vertically upward, and then ends substantially freely in the engine compartment. The lower flat element runs, from a front end which lies in the vehicle longitudinal direction behind the rear end of the upper flat element, in a steeper curve than the upper flat element rearward and upward to a rear end which lies even further rearward and substantially higher than the rear end of the upper flat element.

1. A motor vehicle undertray trim panel comprising an air inlet which is delimited toward a vehicle engine compartment and toward a roadway by an upper and a lower flat element, respectively, which flat elements extend arcuately rearward and upward in the direction of the engine compartment, in which components to be cooled of the vehicle are situated, wherein the upper flat element runs, starting from a front end which lies in a vehicle longitudinal direction, in front of an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle and below a front radiator, approximately horizontally and at a spacing below an oil sump of the internal combustion engine and then in a continuously steeper curve to its rear end which lies behind the oil sump and which is adjoined by a planar air ram plate which extends by a small amount substantially vertically upward, and then ends substantially freely in the engine compartment, and wherein the lower flat element runs, from a front end which lies in the vehicle longitudinal direction behind the rear end of the upper flat element, in a steeper curve than the upper flat element rearward and upward to a rear end which lies even further rearward and substantially higher than the rear end of the upper flat element. 2. The undertray trim panel as claimed in claim 1, wherein a front end of the lower flat element lies below the lowest point of the upper flat element or below its front end by a given height difference. 3. The undertray trim panel as claimed in claim 2, wherein the height difference is up to a few centimeters. 4. The undertray trim panel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the planar air ram plate runs in a substantially vertically upwardly directed manner a few centimeters as far as the free end. 5. The undertray trim panel as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least the upper flat element becomes wider from the front toward the rear. 6. The undertray trim panel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the air inlet comprises at least one additional air guiding plate which runs parallel to the intended air stream and divides the air flow into parallel part flows on part of its path through the air inlet. 7. A motor vehicle undertray trim panel comprising: an air inlet having upper and lower flat elements directed toward an engine compartment and a roadway and extending arcuately rearward and upward toward the engine compartment, wherein the lower flat element extends in a steeper curve than the upper flat element rearward and upward to a rear end which lies rearward and higher than a rear end of the upper flat element, and wherein the rear end of the upper flat element is adjoined by a planar air ram plate extending substantially vertically upward. 8. The undertray trim panel of claim 7, wherein the upper flat element extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction in the engine compartment, and wherein the lower flat element extends, from a front end which lies in the vehicle longitudinal direction behind the rear end of the upper flat element. 9. The undertray trim panel as claimed in claim 8, wherein the upper flat element runs, starting from a front end which lies in the vehicle longitudinal direction, in front of an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle and below a front radiator, approximately horizontally and at a spacing below an oil sump of the internal combustion engine and then in a continuously steeper curve to its rear end which lies behind the oil sump and which is adjoined by the planar air ram plate which runs is directed by a small amount substantially vertically upward, and then ends substantially freely in the engine compartment. 10. The undertray trim panel as claimed in claim 9, wherein the planar air ram plate runs in a substantially vertically upwardly directed manner a few centimeters as far as its free end. 11. The undertray trim panel as claimed in claim 7, wherein a front end of the lower flat element lies below the lowest point of the upper flat element or below its front end by a given height difference. 12. The undertray trim panel as claimed in claim 11, wherein the height difference is up to a few centimeters. 13. The undertray trim panel as claimed in claim 7, wherein at least the upper flat element becomes wider from the front toward the rear. 14. The undertray trim panel as claimed in claim 7, wherein the air inlet comprises at least one additional air guiding plate which runs parallel to the intended air stream and divides the air flow into parallel part flows on part of its path through the air inlet. 15. A vehicle undertray trim panel comprising: an air inlet comprising upper and lower flat elements extending arcuately rearward and upward toward an engine compartment, wherein the lower flat element extends in a steeper curve than the upper flat element rearward and upward to a rear end higher than a rear end of the upper flat element; anda planar air ram plate extending substantially vertically upward from the rear end of the upper flat element.
