Michelin's "OPT" - Optimal Rear Camber
In the search for the optimal rear camber, Michelin has registered a patent for it's "Optimum Contact Patch" (OPT).

In a nutshell, OPT is a mechanical suspension device permitting camber - or in other words, a type of suspension system that puts the tyre in the best contact with the ground. This contact is lost when a normal car leans over in a corner, but OPT uses a complex linkage that keeps the wheel upright even when the car is tilted in a corner.
