Yes, the current Taurus is based off the same platform as the last Taurus, which was a warmed up 500, which is the last generation S80.
Most if nto all of Ford's cars are based off either a Mazda or a Volvo platform.

As for the GT500's thicker floor pannels, I read it in a GT500 press release last year.
