Renault has unveiled the R29, the car with which it will contest the 2009 Formula One World Championship.
The car's livery for this season is slightly more garish, as if that were possible, following the conclusion of a sponsorship deal with fuel giant Total, the parent company of previous fuel supplier Elf.
Despite widespread speculation to the contrary, the Dutch banking giant ING remains as title sponsor.
The team used the low key ceremony at Portimao, which took place before this week's test got underway, to confirm Romain Grosjean as its third driver for the 2009 season.
Further details to follow.
