About a Weird Nose Cone I found in Mexico

Here are our CFD links and discussions about aerodynamics, suspension, driver safety and tyres. Please stick to F1 on this forum.

Additionally, no scoops for the front brakes. This reinforces my belief this is a non-functional show car.

I don't think so. I think that such practice died with appearance on CF wishbones and even before that.

Nothing resembling to car from Mexico and its bodywork reminds on those from late '90s early '00s

Most of those photos are inconclusive. The jordan photo has it mounted to the wishbone, you can see the bracket poking out.

Mounting the pushrod to the wishbone has little to do with carbon wishbones, even to this day several F1 teams still sport this design (RedBull for example).

In the picture the pushrod is glued solidly to the wishbone, clearly a show car practice (solid suspension)

It's a show car but not made by any F1 team.

It's from this company:

Thanks for the link, Monstrobolaxa. The enigma now is crystal clear.
