Not necessarily.... The visual elements of the GT3 front clam could have been used for the front of the new Exige. That's all. The inlet sizes/shapes, the double spine up top, the slight recessing above the ends of the splitter, the splitter itself, etc.

If they had just done that it would be a winner. Instead they've come up with something that just doesn't look right at all.
