inclination

The 1983 Ford Probe-IV concept (Cd 0.152) had active suspension to drop the nose and lift the tail on the highway,for minimum drag.They had the benefit of a wind tunnel to dial in the optimum inclination.
Other vehicles with active suspension which come to mind are:
McLaren P1
Tesla Model S P85
Jaguar XJ220
Bugatti Veyron 16.4
1985 Mitsubishi Galant
Subaru XT (static testing(
Renault Vesta-II
1984 Lincoln Town Car
1970 Porsche 914 (static testing)
1958 Buick Limited Series 700
2017 Ford GT
2008 Ford Fusion 999 LSR (static drop)
GM Ultralite
