My guess is that adding this complexity is better justified once you add propulsion to what the front suspension needs to cope with.

To me, it sounds like Buick's "HiPer Strut" or Ford's "RevoKnuckle" taken one step further. It should be a good bit lighter than either of those, but which would need a bigger revision to front end structure since the magnitudes of the loads would likely increase and be applied at different upper points. Different points being something to keep in mind when there's presumably still going to be a 90° V8 sitting directly between the right and left side upper pairs.

Are AWD Corvettes & Camaros likely? Or even desirable?.
