Abstract:
The motor vehicle (1) comprises at least one rear driving wheel (5) and two front steered wheels (7′, 7″). A tilting four bar linkage (11) allows the motor vehicle to perform a tilting movement, for example, when cornering. Support arms (21′, 21″) for front steered wheels (7′, 7″), which rotate around steering axes (21A′, 21A″) and are joined to each other by a steering bar (23), are associated with the tilting four bar linkage. Each wheel is constrained to the respective support arm with the interposition of a suspension (33; 33″). A tilting locking device comprises a brake (53′, 53″) which locks the springing movement of the respective suspension and the tilting movement of the four bar linkage.
