Just a quick interjection, DOHC was introduced over 100 years ago in 1912 by Peugeot, among others. Hardly ground breaking…

Also, the composite transverse leaf springs not the same as the steel longitudinal units in trucks. Regurgitating what a television show states is not a discussion point. Less weight, less unsprung weight, lower positioning, etc. are serious benefits and show in lap times. The disadvantages have more to do with design and expense than function.
