TS050 teaser screenshots from a video. Not my capture.

Found on Twitter, lighted up in this image, you can see the similarities and differences from the TS040 and TS050.

It seems to be running a new higher downforce front fascia due to the larger opening just above the splitter. The rest, from other images, looks very similar unless it is still an interim aero model primarily testing the drivetrain.

So excited though!

That's what Vasselon said (about the aero). The attached image, taken from a user on tentenths forum, shows a closer look at the roof at the rear of the cockpit. Above the word 'Fears', is that their Dome-like solution to a workaround of the roof height?

Your first image isn't working @trustjab. The outside leading edge of the front-wheel pontoons seems a little reprofiled too with the moving of the dotted LEDs to the inside of the light cluster.

I must try tentenths forum. Said I would join some time ago but never got round to it.

The car overall seems smaller.

Toyota may be able to pinch a touch in height but after that there is next to nothing to play around with as they are masterpieces in packaging. Remember too just how small they are anyway plus they are bound by the regulations.

Max Dimensions for LMP1: L 4.65m - H 1.05m - W 1.9m

The new Ford Mustang is larger in each dimension while a Focus 4dr is very similar for length.

The Porsche 919 uses a 'bubble roof' down the middle to meet the minimum height rule. While the rest of the roof is lower. I think the regs say a 300mm diameter area must be a set height. That's what the dome achieves with those handlebar wings.
