Dont be too worried about the look of the new Toyota...
Their Head of Engineering Kevin Struyf:
“It's just a prototype rally car at the moment,” he said. “In 2027 the regulation changed for the first time in rally where the body is quite open, so the choice of the manufacturer is not really clear where we want to go, so it's just a base mule car, a prototype car.
“A lot of people get excited about some model, but there is nothing about any model at the moment, it's just a prototype.
“Basically, we are continuing the development of the mule car that we have seen in Portugal, and the car will continue to do some tests this month [April].
"Quite soon, another chassis is in the build, and we will test a bit more, let's say, the final model, because the problem is that there were some technical elements that weren't super clear or super defined by the FIA when we started development."
