Thanks for the comment/correction, Racer! I just checked and sure enough, at the front of the car, you are indeed right! Tie rod ends in front of the steering axis.

At the rear of the vehicle, the situation is opposite, with the equivalent of the tie-rods (adjustable, control toe, but just not connected to any moving steering rack) being located behind the rear "steering axis".

The more I get to know this car, the more I continue to be impressed and fascinated by the "unique" mid-engine design (which seems to affect many different systems).
