Lotus Esprit with an Alfa V6, running on air bags. No changes to the chassis have been made, just custom suspension components that are fully adjustable. He has 3 settings for height, static, normal driving and getting off the drive. It's been featured on stance nation, pistonheads etc

As much as it looks cool there is something morally wrong with a lotus modified for show rather than go!

It is no way only for show!!!

 

He drives it to the shows/photoshoots etc  He drives it and drives it fast, I've watched it bounce off of potholes at 70mph

This is the one that was featured in Retro Cars isn't it? I'm not a fan of this sort of look/treatment on a Lotus, but from the feature I was impressed with the car generally.
