Toyota TF107

The Toyota TF107 is the car with which the Toyota team competed in the 2007 Formula One season. It was revealed in Cologne on 12 January, with a chassis designed by Pascal Vasselon, Mark Tatham and Mark Gillan and an engine designed by Luca Marmorini, with Noritoshi Arai overseeing the project. The main changes from the TF106B were aerodynamic: the engine moved forward by 100 mm, giving a shorter monocoque, and a zero keel design cleared the area under the nose. The RVX-07 engine was based on the unit used in late 2006 under new homologation rules, with a 19000 rpm limit, and the car used a new seamless shift gearbox developed with Williams, which used Toyota engines as a customer team. The car was less successful than the TF106, scoring 13 points against 35, with two sixth places.
