The Probe-IV would lower in the front,raise in the rear,and deploy the air dam to achieve the lowest drag.
When on the open road it's ground clearance defies all SAE standards for approach,breakover,and departure angles and would be impossible to live with in town without the 'active' capabilities.
I have the image of the car in it's 'highway' mode here and am waiting to see if Al can scan it for me.He closes at 5:30.
