To optimize the tradeoffs between ride and handling, there are control arms rather than struts at all four corners.

What they are saying, is that the car doesn't use a MacPherson strut to locate the top of the spinlde, but instead a control arm. It's referring to the upper control arm in your double-wishbone setup. It was pretty new and unique in a road car back in it's day.
