Toro Rosso are the third team to launch their car today. The car is called the STR7 and will be raced in 2012 by Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne.
The STR7 features the stepped nose that is now characteristic of 2012 Formula 1 cars. The new car retains the double floor that was a unique feature of the STR6. There is a gap between the bottom of the sidepods and the floor, which effectively creates a double floor, useful for extracting extra downforce. The car is powered by the Ferrari V8 engine, as used in the Ferrari F2012.
Toro Rosso have released a video of the new car, which can be found by clicking here.
The STR7 will be on track at the first pre-season test in Jerez, Spain from tomorrow 7 February to Friday 10 February, with Ricciardo first to drive the new car tomorrow morning.
