With Lotus getting back into Formula 1 in 2010 I think it’s a good time to take a look back at some of their more innovative cars. The 99t was the first Lotus F1 car to be equipped with an active suspension. This allows the car to maintain an exact ride height no matter what portion of the track the car is on. Active suspension was once considered the holy grail of automotive suspension technology, and no car represents it better than the 99t.
