I don't see the problem. Lowering the body reduces lift from air "wedging" under the body at speed, and a bit of negative camber can work wonders for roadholding. They have just taken this approach to its logical conclusion. Or, OK, maybe just a little bit beyond?

I've seen lowered cars before, but this is the first one I've seen that actually has its chassis underground.
