Regarding the Aventador pic above, what sort of bearing would they be using in that seemingly narrow bellcrank?

That new Lambo pic is interesting, the first pic I am assuming is when the car is sitting on its wheel, and the car is already on the jounce rubber....

I know that Koenigsegg is very proud of the engineering that they´ve done and what they achieved, and he has every right to be, however, they aren´t the only production car with a aluminium-honeycomb core are they? Ferrari uses Nomex cores if I´m not mistaken but don´t Pagani also use aluminium?
