- Prototype testing starts this weekend (Rossi Saturday, Palou Sunday) — it’s an early mule with a placeholder 2.4L engine and no hybrid yet; full-field testing and team deliveries come after the 2027 season (cars to teams around June).
- Big styling and aero changes: sleeker, about 100 pounds lighter, cleaner front wing and a more integrated aeroscreen/halo that give it a “fighter‑pilot” look while aiming for more speed without compromising safety.
- More fan- and driver-friendly touches: LED position lights, a clear rear panel for engine branding, fewer cockpit knobs (more controls on the wheel), bigger/cooler cockpit for driver comfort.
