No big surprises for the livery of the car.

Before track action tomorrow though we’ll have the media launch for the last of the 2014 Factory LMP1s, the Toyota TS040, at 11am with the official release at midday local time here.

We’ve seen the car already (the Extraction practice was being done in Parc Ferme as we arrived) and can report that it retains the blue and white livery from the TS030. We’re going to respect the launch time though.

I like the way people are so impatient to play the game of the seven differences.
I just can't wait too.

Midweek Motorsports on Twitter claims that the TS040 is in the 6mj class?! Typo or a real surprise?

Anyways, Toyota admits 1000bhp with all system & engine combined. If they admit that, how much power does it really have?

1000 bhp

So let´s see…. if engine produced about 520-540 bhp , (hybrid 1) 300 bhp(last year value) and (hybrid 2) produces what? 150-180 bhp??

18.000 kilometers of testing completed.

Not bad, I was worried they had done little testing but apparently they were pretty busy

According to https://twitter.com/specutainment/st...27514297073664 the engine displacement is increased from 3.4 to 3.7 liters.

Another prediction by hcl123 gone wrong

Most likely it will go back to 3L, optimized and for more revs... hybrid power now must help the engine at mid/low regimes to, where the torque is weak ( no problem now they have more than double of 2013 with 8MJ)...

The 6MJ ERS choice is a small surprise.

Officially 520 hp for the combustion engine and 480 hp for the electric motors.

This will be the year Toyota will be best prepared by far, last year they didn't even have two of the new cars ready for Spa.

This year, both cars have done 18.000 kilometers before the first WEC test even, a third of it has been done by the second car.

The front end (headlight area) isn't very nice IMO.

Wait, these look vastly different, is it a different (high downforce?) spec?

According to Motorsport-Total, Toyota is planning long-distance test after Spa to prepare for Le Mans.

The confidence they seem to have this year really excites me more than the car's look. Those Japanese companies always like to play it safe but if they openly say they're gunning to win both Le Mans and the WEC this year they must have been mighty happy with how testing went
