A shutter system for controlling a flow of an incident airstream through a grille opening in a vehicle includes a track arranged transverse to the airstream. The shutter system also includes a plurality of louvers configured to shift along the track and be guided thereby. The shutter system additionally includes a mechanism configured to select a position for the shutter system between and inclusive of fully-opened and fully-closed to regulate the flow of the incident airstream through the grille opening by shifting the plurality of louvers along the track. Each of the plurality of louvers is arranged along a plane transverse to the incident airstream and remains therein as the position of the shutter system is selected between and inclusive of fully-opened and fully-closed.
