Finally some words from Adamastor on that groundbreaking rear suspension:

Adamastor is proud to announce the patenting of our innovative Rolling Damper suspension system, designed to revolutionize vehicle performance. Officially titled "Rolling Damper, Respective Suspension System with Asymmetric Rolling Movement and Symmetric Vertical Movement.” This system separates asymmetric rolling movement from symmetric vertical movement, ensuring superior stability and control. By minimizing body roll and optimizing vertical motion, the Rolling Damper enhances both handling and ride quality, setting a new benchmark in automotive engineering for a wide range of vehicles.

However this still doesn't make me any wiser as to how the kinematics actually works. I'd love for some of these ex-F1 youtubers to make a proper analysis on this and maybe compare it with the system used on AMG One.

Turns out they use the very same suspension setup in the front.
It can be seen at 0:21 mark of this video, although only for couple of frames. It looks kinda funny, because the lower damper (and its cage) rotates, for some reason.
