Motor vehicle
A motor vehicle comprising: a body defining a front and a rear, with reference to a normal forward driving direction of the motor vehicle; a first axle carried by the front and comprising, in turn, a first and a second front wheel, which can rotate around a first and a second axis, respectively; a second axle carried by the rear and comprising, in turn, a third and a fourth rear wheel, which can rotate around a third and a fourth axis, respectively; a first electric motor carried by the second axle; and a fifth longitudinal axis parallel to the normal forward driving direction; the first electric motor comprises, in turn, a first output shaft capable of rotating around a sixth axis orthogonal to the third and fourth axis and extends from the side of the rear relative to the third and fourth axis, moving parallel to the fifth axis.
1 . A motor vehicle comprising:
a body defining a front and a rear, with reference to a normal forward driving direction of the motor vehicle;
a first axle carried by said front and comprising, in turn, a first and a second front wheel, which can rotate around a first and a second axis, respectively;
a second axle carried by said rear and comprising, in turn, a third and a fourth rear wheel, which can rotate around a third axis and a fourth axis, respectively;
at least one first electric motor carried by said second axle; and
a fifth longitudinal axis parallel to said normal forward driving direction;
said first electric motor comprising, in turn, a first output shaft, which can rotate around a sixth axis orthogonal to said third axis and said fourth axis;
a first braking element operatively connected to said first output shaft and capable of being selectively operated so as to exert a first braking torque upon said first output shaft;
said first braking element being arranged on the opposite side of said first electric motor relative to said third axis and said fourth axis, moving parallel to said fifth longitudinal axis;
said first electric motor extending from the side of said rear relative to said third axis and said fourth axis, moving parallel to said fifth axis;
