And 4 arms per wheel. I'm trying to visualize what's going to happen to toe through the suspension travel, and also how the 4 different arms can move at the same time without binding... I can't quite get it from the pictures.

It looks like it has a virtual ball joint setup like on many Mercedes products and Chrysler LX/LC platforms. There's enough compliance in the bushings that it will not bind and still offer a supior ride. It's like moving the ball joint further out towards the wheel. It looks like there is some opportunities for bushings or bearings or a conversion kit to a single arm/ball joint on the rear lower.

It's hard to tell but it looks like the front strut setup might also have the virtual ball joint design. If this is the case there will be a lot of caster and wheel movement (relative to wheel well) fore-aft with steering input. A nice tuning setup when done properly for the street but will be a tuning nightmare for the track.
