Toro Rosso revealed their 2014 challenger, the STR9, in the Jerez pitlane ahead of the first pre-season test. On the occasion Jean-Eric Vergne was joined by rookie Daniil Kvyat to present the car the Italian team who wants to improve the eighth place in last year's Constructors' Championship.The STR9's nose attracted most of the attention.

The STR9 keeps the traditional Toro Rosso livery and and features a prominent nose that is going to be a common feature up and down the grid in 2014. Until now Toro Rosso's seems to be the most extreme version revealed yet with a long drooping point. This season saw a complete revamp of F1's technical regulations take place, which meant that teams couldn't just produce an evolution of their 2013 cars. Chief Designer Luca Furbatto says Toro Rosso have been working on their new car for around 18 months.

This year will see Toro Rosso switch from Ferrari to Renault power. Engine has been definitely the biggest change to the regulations and has involved switching from a normally aspirated 2.4 litre V8 to a 1.6 V6 turbocharged engine, which is only one component of what is now referred to as the power unit, or power plant.
