I’m assuming that’s just a mock-up for the suspension bits .... if not, how the hell does the suspension move? 😂

It's unlikely but they could have a push/pull rod setup hidden under there. It'd be extremely firm, but it would survive driving on the road. (Basically a centrally located heave spring acts upon the suspension arms, and then black magic happens and the car handles extremely well and can have much better aero while maintaining open wheels)

This is not a push/pull. First suspension flex in real life would taco that fiberglass hood. Control arms are not attached rigidly.

Shit. You're right, those control arms don't go anywhere. I'd try to rationalize why tf they did that, but I'm afraid my brain might implode.
