Formula One title contenders Red Bull unveiled their striking new RB6 for the coming season on Wednesday with driver Mark Webber [ Images ] describing the car as "a limousine".
Red Bull were second in the constructors' championship last year behind Brawn, who have morphed into Mercedes [ Images ] this season, with German driver Sebastian Vettel [ Images ] also second in the drivers' standings won by Jenson Button [ Images ].
The RB6 has a sleek look with the nose particularly eye-catching and more pointed than previous years thanks to the design of Adrian Newey, who won plaudits for last year's car.
A new "shark-fin" engine cover also makes the RB6 stand out while a ban on refuelling during races this year means all cars are longer than before given the large fuel tanks.
"This car is a limousine," Webber joked at the early-morning launch at the Jerez track in Spain, where Formula One's second official test session of the season started on Wednesday.
