But the CoTF is a spaceframe.
That chassis picture shows a spaceframe car. How much chassis strength does the body add to that car?
How is Supertourer built? Starts as a pile of steel bars welded into a frame with some panels tacked on the outside is about it isn't it?
That line from the website doesn't really make sense when you consider the meaning of monocoque and the concept of accommodating multi bodies.
In a monocoque car the body IS the chassis and frame.
In that case to be a different car (Holden, Falcon etc) the frame/chassis needs to be different.
But all the Supertourer cars have the same chassis. Just different body panels.
How many layers are there to those panels? Looks like outer layers (1) only.
If you sliced open a production body you will find many layers of panels to add strength hence allowing it to be a monocoque. None of which is in that car.
