hmm, maybe hydrolic resoviors? feed through a plumbimg system, in the wishbone maybe? I m not sure that its important to try to find reality in future design concepts like these, but Like you I would like to see some thought put into the mechanics of it, the rear suspension comes off as frivolous detials rather than viable engineering. there''s plenty of ways to incorporate engineering aspects and still keep the sexiness of the design without adding fluff.

yes. like the Toyota , the entire side of the structure is basically a large composite leaf spring so the structure is also the suspension
