Toro Rosso will show the STR9, the 2014 challenger, to the world today.

 

On Monday, 27 January, the wraps will come off the STR9, Scuderia Toro Rosso’s challenger for the 2014 Formula 1 World Championship. The car is brand new, while the launch will follow the tradition established over the past couple of years, being hosted by our sponsor CEPSA and taking place in the Jerez de la Frontera circuit pit lane.

We have here a sound preview in Misano of the STR9 with Renault power unit.

Just seen a tororosso image on sky sport Italia. Penis nose, almost identical to some early scarbs designs.

On TV? No images on Internet yet?

[thegamer23]

Yep, i was like switching off the tv than the presentator said "New Toro Rosso unveiled" and there was an image, with a not good looking blue penis under the nose. Pretty conservative solution.

You know, there are other words to describe the shape of these noses other than the male phallic appendage, right?

Yea, but you'd run the risk of choosing one that actually bears a resemblance to the nose and who would want that?

[Jackmancer]

When will the STR be launched? What time?

Would save me from checking this topic every 5 minutes.

And what is wrong with the male phallic appendage? How is this any different to defining it with a finger? Do organs have some sort of hierarchy in your way of thinking?

I think 17:30 CET, so 30 minutes later.

[st99]

I have the feeling that from now on the TR will be similar to the RB again, with the same powertrain, gearbox, etc.

 

Offtopic (is there a RB10 thread? I can't find it )

Yes. Confirmed in Toro Rosso's Twitter

[SirT]

Any minute now...

Hihihi

Can we put the cloth back on? Geez.

Yup, that's the STR9.

[P123]

Looks like similar approach to the nose as McLaren and Sauber.  Sidepods are very tight.

[keiichi]

The back seems one of the most compact. Since it now uses the Renault engine, perhaps some input from the main team?

[Francesc]

 

That nose... this is so stupid.

[bideford1]

View of the nose.

[AlexS]

Now seriously. Very nice , another different solution

[lyubo]

Actually... not bad!

[Kyo]

Ohh god!!

No, it's just outright immature. 

[Lights]

No. No. This color makes it even worse than the McLaren. 

[dau]

Is it just me or does that air intake look pretty small?

[GhostR]

They should paint the end of that nose up in Toucan beak colours.

[mclarensmps]

View of the nose.

You know, I thought it looked pretty decent until you posted this picture. I think it's safe to say, that this year isn't going to be vintage for looks

[Francesc]

The rear is not that compact

[scheivlak]

That's obscene

It won't take long before those Parental Control filters turn in on this site 

[rhukkas]

Wow innovation

 

so development

 

much amazing

[ZionLH]

How many elements that front wing got.

[Tourgott]

It's getting worse and worse with every reveal.

[bideford1]

An even closer look.

[Anja]

That's absolutely the worst nose so far. Doesn't even bother to look half-decent.

[kosmos]

A lot of air will travel under that thing.

[aray]

View of the nose.

now that is really a real deal....

[JHSingo]

I've tried to keep an innocent mind up to now, but yeah...it looks like something females use to pleasure themselves.

[AlexS]

I like how they thin the nose. It almost just a surface. Wonder if it will flex just because of that.

That's a massive cooling intake under the airbox.
