Caterham car unveiled, sort of, kind of…

The 2012 Formula 1 season has begun!

Caterham, the former Team Louts (not to be confused with the current team named Lotus) unveiled its 2012 car today. In doing so, it became the first.

It did it, as we mentioned, by having a photo of the car run on the cover of F1 Racing magazine. It also has it on its Twitter feed.

Yeah.

Until Todd rounds up the photo, I’ll direct you to Autosport, which has it. It also has this description:

The car, which will be powered by Renault engines, features a platypus-style nose with front suspension mounts that raise above the noseline. Features such as these may prove to be quite common this year due to the new regulations covering the nose area.

It also appears to be more aggressive aerodynamically than its predecessors, which were deliberately conservative, and features tightly-sculpted, low rear bodywork with slim and short sidepods to maximise the low drag effect in that area.

I’ve got little more to add, as the photo — as you’ll see — is dark and shows almost nothing.

Sort of like I expect the team’s season to go.
