That thing is tight as --- in the rear end. That's the first thing I spotted. Need to look at more images for more.

Were aero changes part of the token system or only mechanical parts?

They're not showing anything at all. This was a lackluster launch, they're keeping all the details of the car hidden.

They hid the diffuser, apparently the most interesting thing is there. I love this car!

MCL34 and MCL35 (2020) top view for comparison, although the MCL35M top view is on a bit of an angle.

Definitely a lot more tightly packaged on the rear end basically from the roll hoop back is all different.
Also interesting seeing the strakes on top of the boomerang in the front bargeboards.
Also rear floor hugely different. Looks like the render images aren't giving away the rear diffuser yet.
Looks like this is the coming together of the front end concept from last year to form the whole package.
