Toyota F1 car debuted today TF103.

From the pics on f1-live, it looks like they have changed their exhaust design to mimic Ferrari's. But I can't remember if the TF102 had that design as well.

Any F1 gurus care to share the differences they notice between this year's and last year's car?

The TF103 car is an evolution of last season's TF102, rather than an innovative or radical new design. It is lighter, generates more downforce and has greater aerodynamic efficiency than its predecessor.

The RVX-03 V10 engine is both lighter and more powerful than the 2002 RVX-02. I think the 103 is also using a seven speed instead of a six.
