Ralf Bach, the journalist running these stories, has a reputation for publishing rubbish.

It looks quite plausible that Force India will start the season in some fashion or another.

"Everybody is pushing to try to make it happen, but it's far more likely the VJM08 will run at the final Barcelona test at the end of February.
"That means we will use the 2014 car at the next test. The mileage on the VJM07 will still allow us to run with the 2015 Pirelli compounds."
Despite doubts over when its new car will be ready, Fernley has made it clear that the outfit is in no danger of missing the first race.
"We will be in Melbourne for the start of the season, there's no doubt about that," he said.
Fernley has admitted that issues with suppliers have complicated matters for the team, but he denied recent reports that it is still without its final chassis.
"It's true to say that expenditure is at its highest at this time of year and we are reliant on a large number of suppliers," he said.
"Although there have been some production delays, the chassis is delivered and going through the various preparation stages.
"We are still awaiting delivery of some 2015 components, but we have commenced the car build process."

Force India have pushed the launch of the VJM08 back again - it won't be seen until the final Barcelona test:

Only notable feature I see is potentially an S-Duct on the nose? Shading clear just where the upper wishbones connect.
Other than that, same as old it seems.

new rear suspension, different air box and maybe air is getting pushed through front wheels (like Ferrari, McLaren and RB)
All according to auto-motor-und-sport
Edit: The new car will arrive on friday in Barcelona

Probably better to have said nothing outstanding rather than nothing new. Does look like a blown front axle though as stated. Will probably notice more when it actually runs.

Yeah, this is still a computer model so I expect some changes at least for the first race.
