A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Right i see now...
This picture is not 2014. Look at this video from 2013 "Scuderia Toro Rosso factory tour" 3:35 min http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpu4QPplW3Y

Isn't that just a crappy fia tub being used to test a genuine front crash structure? I don't think the actual tub is used when just testing the nose assembly, pretty sure thus just a test slave.

perhaps it could, but that doesn't alter the fact it's still last year's vidcap, with the same nose that gets crashed.
so either way it's old material and not the STR9

The car had a step last year aswell seeing as the vanity panel doesnt need to be crash tested and this year aswell will have a step but as you say it is 2012 cause its from the tour video.
