Toyota TF108

The Toyota TF108 was a Formula One car designed and engineered by Toyota to compete in the 2008 Formula One season. The chassis was designed by Pascal Vasselon, John Litjens and Mark Gillan and the engine by Luca Marmorini, with Noritoshi Arai overseeing the project. It was launched on 10 January 2008 at the team's factory in Cologne, Germany, with Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock as drivers and Kamui Kobayashi as test and reserve driver. It had a longer wheelbase and a new aero package, and was an evolution of the TF106 rather than of the TF107, with a McLaren-like bridge on the front wing and a focus on the zero keel front suspension. The car ran a black stripe at the French Grand Prix in memory of former boss Ove Andersson and a Batman livery at the British Grand Prix. Its best finish was second in Hungary, driven by Timo Glock.
