Looks like the 2011 car with no livery on it.
I wonder if they'll run that for the tests and switch to the new car if/when it's ready.

Interesting.

A hole in the step, some sort of intake? Or a letterbox as part of a sponsorship deal with Royal Mail?

its obvious isnt it. The fact that they'd shown a drawing and not the actual car means that car looks totally different than what we're shown here. If you think about it, its quite a good plan: create an image with that bumped nose, and let everyone else think that a bumped nose is the way to go. Then come Australia and reveal your own genuinely designed nose-cone, and watch everyone scratch their heads.

But they need to run a car here tomorrow.
