However, there's a very real possibility that a large car company such as Toyota would in fact design an entirely new platform and then reach out to a small car company it partially owns to share design ideas and technology, especially when the small car company has an extensive racing background of its own. They might even conduct a joint venture with said small car company and allow models to be produced under both brands.

A large car company such as Toyota might even reach out to a completely unrelated car company to design and build an entirely new platform just to create a halo car. Which is why the FT-1 will have a BMW engine and why the BMW Z5 will be built on an FT-1 chassis.
