There are presented design solutions and operation properties of air inlet filters of motor vehicles and sports cars. An analysis of the impact of the use of a sports car air filter in a passenger car was performed. The effect of this change on the increase in power and torque in several car engines was shown. The conditions and methodology of sports car air filter studies have been developed. A research stand with a particle counter was presented. The test results on the characteristics of efficiency and accuracy filtration and flow resistance of two sports air filters were presented. Each filter was tested at a different filtration rate. The dust absorption coefficient of the sport filter was determined. The dust particle fraction in the air purified behind the filter was calculated.Keywords: engine, air filter, sports filter, filtration efficiency and filtration accuracy, flow resistance, dust absorption coefficient, particle siz
