It looks cool but I don't get the anti-roll function. Unfortunately they only show both wheels being depressed at the same time. But if one is depressed and the other springs out, then what's to stop the car from rolling? I don't speak italian so if anyone could please explain?
@froek See the vertical bar that they colour yellow when they refer to it? That is a torsion bar. When the car rolls, that bar is forced to twist. If the team wants more roll resistance, they will install a stiffer bar. If they set the car up for the rain and want a softer set up, they will install a softer bar that will twist more, allowing the car to roll more.
@urveen Exactly. What Red Bull have done is to actually remove the side springs altogether, so that the coil heave spring in the middle deals fully with vertical compression, and the anti-roll bar fully controls roll. That way, they can set up the car to have super-stiff heave, and very soft roll (something that is impossible to do with a conventional set up). I think it's part of the reason why they can run such incredible rake.

Felipe Massa saw this in even more detail, but he probably wouldn't remember.

@heelandtoe33 Doesn't that make it an Anti-Roll Bar (ARB) albeit one that is fundamentally a torsion bar?

This is so genius. Nascar, formula 3, Le man can't touch this.

@AnonymoussourceL0L Le Mans has the same type of suspension. It's quite common. Torsion bars aren't anything new.

@heelandtoe33 okay, but not nascar. euro racing rules all XD.

Omfg, I jizzed my pants. Check out that rear anti-roll...
The smaller black rods near the bottom are for telemetry probably...
Those bellcranks are sweet.
