1. A ventilation outlet for a ventilation system of a motor vehicle for directionally supplying a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle with an air flow flowing in a flow direction, the ventilation outlet comprising:
a ventilation duct to pass the air flow;
a duct wall to circumferentially delimit the ventilation duct;
a ventilation duct outlet opening to discharge the air flow into the passenger compartment; and
a first air guide louver arranged in the ventilation duct, the first air guide louver having a louver head portion and a louver body portion for deflecting the air flow,
wherein the first air guide louver is held pivotably relative to the ventilation duct about a pivot axis between a first position and a second position,
wherein the pivot axis runs through the louver head portion and is arranged adjacent to the ventilation duct outlet opening,
wherein, in the first position of the first air guide louver, the louver head portion forms a gap with a first gap width or no gap in cooperation with a first wall section of the duct wall, and in the second position of the first air guide louver, the louver head portion forms a gap with a second gap width in cooperation with the first wall section of the duct wall for passing a secondary air flow,
wherein the first gap width is less than the second gap width,
wherein the louver head portion has an asymmetrical shape to provide the first gap width and second gap width that differ from one another when the first air guide louver is in the first position and in the second position, and
wherein, in the first position, the first air guide louver is arranged parallel to or at least substantially parallel to a longitudinal extension of the ventilation duct.
