go to the main site, there is pics on there

I really like it. It odd that the front find is ahead of the nose and is so high up. Its almost the opposite of ferrari.

The Back end is not as tight as the F60 ether.

The end plate on the front wing do look quite cool.

Well, overall car looks a bit more traditional that Ferrari, but damn, those front wing end plates are cool!

The car is certainly better than the website! It's good to see that the Williams walrus has been revived and man those end plates are amazing, can we start a petition to make sure they keep them for the whole season!

Right, while Toyota's failure to paint the intire car, will certainly upset some people here?

Just one more thing I've noticed, the cars sidepod are far broader and less sculpted than the Ferraris. Could this be due to KERS packaging, cooling issues, exhaust packaging? Any ideas?

Intersting, front flaps nowhere near as scuplted as the F60's but innovative use of the endplates:
