Team Lotus T128 Renault

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

I can tell that the new TL11 have a very high nose cone judging by the suspension wishbones placement , if that picture is really the TL11

If the bits aren't photoshopped, looking at the proportions of FW mounting to the width of nose, it must be really high.

Looks very like the Toyota TF110s nose to an extent as well. Wide and flat.

it looks to me like a repainted t127, as i wouldnt think they would go with the same nose as 2010, i think its a close up of the t127 nose repainted

Not a chance. New nose appears to be wide and flat, old one was rather narrow.

i think they have taken a picture lower than the t127 official photos and you can make up your mind: i think its a repainted t127 we will see on the launch of the new car

You're a little late to the party, Pipex already hinted at the with his photo comparison of both the new Lotus and the 2010 Force India. :wink:

Well, if their 2011's car exactly the same as FI's 2010 car, there is gonna be another court case for Team Lotus. :|

Knowing Gascoyne, it could also be a Lotus-colored RB6 :mrgreen:
