<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust apparatus of a variable compression ratio internal combustion engine, which is capable of reducing load generated in a joint by the displacement of an upper part of a cylinder block. <P>SOLUTION: The exhaust apparatus 7 includes a spherical surface joint 13 for connecting an exhaust manifold 10 connected to a cylinder head 3 with a first exhaust pipe 11, and a flexible joint 14 for connecting the first exhaust pipe 11 with the second exhaust pipe 12. These joints 13 and 14 are arranged along a disposing direction D2 being the direction perpendicular to the displacement direction D1 of the cylinder block 2, and these intervals d are set equal to or more than the width W of the cylinder block 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
