This was the first Crown to not use separate chassis construction.
Maserati now changed to a mid-engine configuration using a similar multi-tubular chassis construction.
Most of the chassis construction was the same, as well as the mechanical layout.
Regarding the chassis' internal construction, every solder joint and wire-bend had to be just right.
But the improvement in chassis construction is piecemeal.
The CDX-860 (£299.95) and CDX-660 (£249.95) are middle-range models employing many of these features, including the new tracking servos system and anti-vibration chassis construction.
The team continued to use Sauber's facilities, mostly for chassis construction and wind tunnel testing.
