1. A suspension device of a motor-vehicle wheel including:
a motor-vehicle wheel support member, connectable to the motor-vehicle structure by means of one or more suspension members,
a brake disc connected in rotation with the wheel of the motor-vehicle,
a brake caliper associated with said brake disc, and
a brake disc cover rigidly connected to said support member and at least partially surrounding said brake disc,
wherein said brake caliper is formed in a single piece with said support member by means of additive manufacturing technology, and
wherein said suspension device comprises an air intake arranged to uniformly convey an air flow within said suspension device, so as to dissipate heat generated by said brake disc during execution of a braking phase on the motor-vehicle.
