It does look that way

Not hugely different but it looks like the upper arms have inserts and they ditched the pillow ball upper arm the old suspension had.

It looks like a better solution to center the rear pod than what others have used with the slotted lower pivot ball mount. The car will automatically adjust not just when assembled but as the pod moves. As the links twist the pod will move forward so the links won't bind...come to think of it that would completely eliminate axle walk as well. It's almost a floating pod system but not quite. The more I think about it the more interesting it is.
