Another teaser. I am doubtful that it's fully the new car (eg floor) but some features look legit (halo winglets, front suspension, rear wing)

Looks like it is a rewrapped 2023 car to me

Leak of the car. The only discernible feature is the side pod inlet.

Doesnt look like the 2023 car, so could be the real 2024 car

Interestingly, it is not a copy of the inlet on the RB19. At least, not of the Hungary upgrade. I guess they’re starting from an initial interpretation of the RB19’s launch spec sidepod inlet.

It also has a winglet cascade below the mirror. So it's not rb19-like in that aspect.

From formu1a Uno they said (if this is the real car) to expect more rb19 features at the front end ie front wing, nose and suspension and the rest is more their own angle

Very nice
Late 2023 spec model with at least 1 modification (sidepod inlet like their 2024 car) and I believe also nose change.

They developed the car further after this even within 2023.

Certainly the 2024 car will not look quite like this render, but I believe it can be concluded that the underbite inlets are a feature of the real car given they've specifically added that part to an old model

Can confirm the render is COTA 2023 spec (noted by scuderiabrandon) with some modifications (inlets and nose)
