It's the same trans between GT and Daisy.  Some structure, seems like a lot of suspension, I would guess steering and brakes.  I have a hunch that, were it to go into production, other systems might have been shared.  Hard to know for sure.

I really think it was Ford's attempt to have another halo car in production re-using engineering and production aspects already created and proven on the GT.  More bang for an already spent buck.

It's not the same structure.  Can't be.  Same structural components, sure.  But they are far from the same structure.

In reply to STM317 :

At the time, we should have not been flexing, but actually making PAG have massive profits.  They were *supposed* to be 40% of all profits, and I don't recall them ever making money.  It's an era that I didn't exactly trust the people running the ship- lots and lots of words, and none of the payoffs they promised.

So, while looking online for something else--seriously--I came across this: the DRB 540, a kit/component/replica based on Daisy.

Looks like all of the tooling is for sale, too.
